16 of the best things to buy at Banana Republic

As spring gets closer and we begin to switch out boots for sandals and sweaters for sleeveless tops, you might be looking to freshen up your wardrobe. Luckily, Banana Republic has you covered. As one of the Gap, Inc., brands, Banana Republic is like the big sister to Gap and Old Navy, filled with endlessly chic looks from casual to nighttime to even workwear.

While the brand has always been on the up-and-up for accessible fashion, Banana Republic recently launched its True Hues women’s line, a range of beautiful basics like tank tops, slips, and bodysuits that feature an inclusive color spectrum for virtually every shade of nude, and an array of fresh spring items.

With so much to discover, we took the liberty of picking out the 16 best things to check out from Banana Republic, so you know what’s actually worth it.

1. This turtleneck sweater dress

What’s better than a dress made of soft Merino wool? A dress made of Merino wool that you don’t even have to dry clean. This turtleneck number is warm, stylish, and machine washable. It’s ideal for those transitional spring days where it’s not too hot or too cold and would look amazing paired with statement earrings and a blazer. Reviewers say the relaxed fit is flattering and they love that they can wear it through the seasons.

One reviewer makes note of its longer fit, which makes it ideal for tucking into jeans, skirts, or other bottoms without worrying about it riding up.

7. This neutral take on a denim jacket

We often see denim jackets in various shades of blue, so these cardon green and ecru white versions caught our eye immediately. Even more, the design gives us total “shacket” vibes (a cross between a shirt and a jacket), which we adore. While it’s made from sturdy denim, there’s also a tinge of stretch to the fabric and three large pockets to keep all your essentials close.

8. This highly-reviewed beanie

At first glance, a beanie might just look like any old hat, but it’s one accessory that can really pull a look together. Take this Recycled Cashmere Beanie: it’s made from super soft and warm cashmere yarn that fits snug on your head (but not too tight). Reviewers rave about its comfy material that feels light enough to wear in the warmer months, as well as winter.

9. These wide-leg jeans

Spring calls for cropped styles and light wash denim. Luckily, these jeans have both. Plus, they even feature a modern and stylish wide-leg design, which is so in right now. The denim has a bit of stretch to it, making them feel like they’ve been broken in just for you. One reviewer noted that they’re as “comfortable as pajamas,” while another advised that “if you’re on the fence, order them!”

10. This flowy jumpsuit

Endlessly chic and versatile, this jumpsuit is perfect for those spur of the moment plans or for when you need something that’s both casual and dressy. Basically, it’s the ideal outfit for all occasions. A crew-neck sleeveless top is perfect for layering accessories over while the tie-waist cinches at just the right place for an elegant silhouette. Best of all, it’s wrinkle-resistant, which means you won’t have to fear those dreaded thighbrow wrinkles after sitting down (if you know, you know).

Going for a run or just running some errands? Either way, these joggers will become your go-to choice.

Speaking of, they currently come in a very pale pink, olive green, black, navy, and beige.

12. This waffle-knit sweater

A good waffle knit sweater is a closet staple that will last you season after season. This one’s made in an Italian mill that specializes in Merino with yarn that’s soft but durable. It’s mid-weight, which means you can wear it for three seasons of the year and layer with other pieces like a t-shirt or collared button-down. Reviewers love the fit but warn about washing it. They say it’s best to stick to the care instructions and either dry clean or hand wash to prevent shrinking.
