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.

trendy
by diverzion at Citysearch
BR is NY trendy shiek with NY prices. Quality is inconsistent, sometimes things don't last long with only light to moderate use. Most things look better on the manequins than they do on you, especially after a couple washes. You can find a cool new style once in a while but for the most part you get a few solid colors, basic lines in a few fabrics, but overall, very plain looking. I have a pair of their flat front pants for some time, still very in style.
I prefer Kenneth Cole who I think stays up with the times, comes out with new stuff more often and has higher quality merchandise in general. Also, KC has more fabric choices that keep up with the times better than BR.
- Pros: stylish, infrequent style chgs
- Cons: inconsistent quality, plain, basic
