If You Love '90s Minimalism, You Need to See Banana Republic’s New Arrivals

Whenever I think about Banana Republic, I think back to figuring out my first day-of-work outfit—trying to look office-appropriate but still like myself. I remember walking past the store on a whim, popping in, and leaving with a black, knee-length boatneck dress. I ended up wearing it with knee-high boots, and Associate Editorial Director Eliza Huber told me the look felt “very Prada."

This morning, I decided to look through the brand’s new arrivals, and as I scrolled, a lot of it reminded me of ’90s minimalism. I found cap-sleeve t-shirts, straight-leg jeans, cashmere knitwear, and mock-necks—the kind of timeless staples that defined the era and still feel relevant now, decades later.

When I think of the easiest and chicest way to dress, it always ends up coming back to '90s minimalism and the foundational elevated basics I know I'll wear again and again for years to come. Below, a roundup of everything worth seeing.
