Banana Republic

You'll have to pay to park and you'll wait forever for a dressing room. But if you're in the area this is a nice big store with lots of sales rack items. I often just pick up what I think I want, go home and try it on, then return it to a location closer to me with better parking. more

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 more

ever since i was able to afford it, i've been shopping at Banana Republic. The clothes are of good quality and i love the look. it's a great place to get that dress casual look. Pros: outerwear, multiple locations, quality materials Cons: pricy, customer service more

Bananna Republic has really nice clothes but come on! it's way too expensive! more

I think Banana is pretty overpriced, that's why I always wait for the sales. It's worth it, you can find $78 slacks for $19.99 if you're lucky. The selection is way better than the Gap, but then of course it's better quality. Go online and check out the sales - then hit the store! Pros: sales, selection Cons: pricey, parking more

This is one of the bigger Banana Republic stores in LA. If you like the Gap but want higher quality and a little more style, Banana is the place to go. Just wait a little for the sales and you will get your money's worth! Also, they have great shoes! Pros: great clothing, sales, quality Cons: can be pricey, parking more
