1 Sale, 5 Outfits: BR 40% off (holidays are here edition)

Banana Republic: 40% off select full price

Black Friday Update: BR doesn’t do 40% off often. Up until November they had only gone that deep (checks notes)… twice previously through all of 2023. So while this ran a couple weeks back during their big Holiday Preview sale, it’s relevant once again thanks to Black Friday. Anywhodiddly…

Why anyone would want to wear only clothes from one store, I don’t know. BUT. It does make for a fun experiment, especially when it comes to showing the versatility of some classic (or even trendy-ish) pieces. Here’s five clickable outfits that we mostly mined from the 40% off B.R. Sale.:

 

Outfit 1: Fancy Holiday Work Party

BR: Italian Nailhead Wool Suit Jacket & Trouser = $360 ($600) (review here),
Tailored Slim Premium Poplin Dress Shirt – $54 ($90)
Italian Leather Belt – $54 ($90),
Breathe Merino Socks 3-Pack – $27 ($45)
( Tie Bar Silk Textured Stripe Knit Black Tie – $30,
Tie Bar Italian Wool Camuffare Hunter Green Pocket Square – $18
Orient Bambino 38mm – $263 (review here),
Nordstrom Cap Toe Oxfords – $74.96 ($99.95))

 

Outfit 2: Thanksgiving, ManningCast style (*sort of)

BR: 100% Merino Full-Zip Sweater – $120 ($200),
Luxury Touch Long Sleeve Piped Pique Polo – $54 ($90),
Slim Italian Moleskin Brushed Traveler Pants – $66 ($110),

Nubuck Leather Belt – $54 ($90),
(Invicta Watch – $129.99 (review here),
Made in the USA Darn Tough Socks – $29)

*NOTE: Going with a full zip instead of quarter-zip because with all the heavy kitchen work, Thanksgiving can get HOT, and you may need to take that sweater off. Full zip = no crazy-hair if you need to un-layer and re-layer. Also… going with a polo instead of a tucked in button down. Untucked = more comfortable. Because… food.
