Banana Republic: 30% off w / BREXTRA | BR Factory: 60% off most
Why anyone would want to wear only clothes mainly from one store, I don’t know. But it can make for a fun experiment. Or maybe you already have similar gear, and this can provide as inspiration.
A note on the brands. Banana Republic is GAP inc’s “attainable luxury” brand, whereas BR Factory is their cheaper replica which delivers a similar look, but not quite the quality. Both of them are running solid sales right now. 30% off is really solid for Banana Republic, as they aren’t on perpetual sale. Meanwhile for BR Factory, 60% off is also quite good, because even though they are on perpetual sale (as most outlet styled “factory” brands are), 60% off is historically significant for them. That all said, we’re combining “the Bananas” for one bunch of five clickable outfits with foundations mined from their concurrently running sales.
