Our go-to brand for modern luxury design and iconic everyday pieces (our closet is packed with much-loved, worn-on-repeat Banana Republic dresses, suits, sweaters and pants) has just released a new capsule collection, BR Athletics, and we’re jumping jacks for joy!
BR Athletics is a truly unique and exciting new assortment of pieces that mix the mainstream with the unexpected to deliver an elevated, thoroughly modern, lifestyle collection. The designers at Banana Republic approached the collection by deconstructing what made its label successful in the first place—i.e., taking things that people already know and have nostalgia for, and framing them in new ways that feel fresh.
The proof of their success is in the pudding (or, in this case, in the clothes). With a nod to the heritage of classic athletic club attire and a savvy eye toward today’s streetwear trends, BR Athletics is a gender-inclusive range in sizes XS to XXL. Pieces from the collection feature iconic archival looks—like the bold striped and coloured Club Blazer and Cricket Sweater—tailored for a modern fit with emphasized detail and proportion. Incorporating the BR Athletics signature monogram, these styles showcase a renewed eye for detail and craftsmanship, featuring everything from varsity patches and gold buttons to hidden details in the sleeve lining and interior waistbands. We are simply loving every look in this release!
In stores and online March 16, BR Athletics is designed for all and ready to play; just follow @bananarepublic with hashtag #BRAthletics to discover the new collection this spring, and stay tuned for future seasonal drops. Want to celebrate in person? The Banana Republic boutiques on Robson Street (Vancouver) and in Yorkdale and TEC Men’s (Toronto) will be hosting in-store events on March 17, starting at 11 a.m. local time. Pop in for a few surprises and to see all that BR Athletics has to offer. —Vita Daily
