Convenient, one-stop shopping for those who want pieces with long shelf lives.. In Short
Epitomizing office casual wear, Banana Republic started out as a small vendor of safari-inspired clothing before it was purchased by the Gap in 1983. Since then, it has grown into a brand-name behemoth that one-ups the Gap in quality, status and price--but not necessarily creativity. The core of the collection is constant: versatile staples such as khakis, button-down shirts, denim, T-shirts and jackets in solid, organic colors. Lengths and fabrics change slightly according to the season. Some stores have expanded into bedding, fragrance, bath and beauty, and home-furnishing lines.

great clothes, friendly staff. I visited the store today, looking to update my wardrobe. Banana Republic turned out to be a great store with a good selection of casual and "nice casual" clothes, without being too fancy or too casual. The sales staff was very friendly, and I would definitely recommend the store to others. The only downside is their prices are kind of high -- but considering that I found what I was looking for and will wear it often, I consider it a good deal.
