We’re always looking out for fresh new outfit ideas, so when we spotted Banana Republic‘s oh-so chic summer lookbook, it was love at first sight.
The brand is Old Navy and Gap’s luxe, sophisticated older sister, and subsequently, snagging a head-to-toe BR ensemble comes at not-too-college-budget-friendly price point.
But we’re here to help! Below are three Banana Republic-inspired looks that won’t break the bank. Scroll down to check ’em out.
1. Cute & Colorblocked
While the outfit above is a dress, opting for the skirt-and-cami combo gives you the same look for a fraction of the price. This sweet, summery combo looks fab when worn with cork sandals and a bold textured clutch. Accessorize with a stack of bangles for an adorable ensemble that works for day or night.

2. Modern Day Audrey
This look immediately gave me Audrey Hepburn vibes, but in a fun, trend-forward way. Start with a pair of cropped jeans with a slightly flared leg, then grab a coral pink ribbed tee. Neutral flats continue the casual feel, while a printed square scarf acts as a chic alternative to the typical necklace. Cat-eye sunnies in a timeless tortoise print are the perfect finishing touch.

3. Polished Peplum
Peplum is back, and this ensemble shows us a sleek, polished way to rock it. While BR’s peplum blouse has floral details, we chose a mesh overlay version for a sportier vibe. Wear it with crisp black shorts for a classic look. Fringe sandals and a mini backpack are fun touches, while hoop earrings add just the right amount of shine.
