Holiday Fun with Banana Republic

Blog

We are officially in the holiday season, so that means: PARTY TIME!!

Whether it’s for a holiday work party or just another night out on the town to party with friends, now is the perfect time to elevate your look. Banana Republic’s Holiday Collection is full of sparkle, texture and creamy neutrals for the holiday season, so we’ve put together a mini lookbook to inspire your every occasion!

Blazers are the easiest thing to throw on for holiday drinks after work. A creamy white with your favorite denim for a classic look, or try a full on velvet suit in a luxe forrest green hue for a special night out.

A sparkling sequin set is THE quintessential holiday outfit choice. Wear together for a modern look, or pair the skirt with a silky blouse and the top with leather pants and a blazer and pearl accessories for a cool look for work.

For the fellas

Suits will always be a staple in a man’s wardrobe, but they don’t have to be boring. For a classic option, Banana Republic’s Barathea Italian Suit offers elevated style to last a lifetime.

Made from Italian virgin wool, their designers employed a classic Barathea weave, a sharp roped shoulder construction and their tailored slim fit for a natural look that’s especially polished. Wear together with one of their cashmere sweaters, or break it up patterned trousers and button ups.

For a more playful approach, try their Caleta Italian Tweed Suit. The texture of tweed meets a traditional plaid pattern they hand selected from one of their favorite Italian mills. They cut this fabric in their Tailored Slim silhouette, adding patch pockets for a vintage-inspired feel.

If a suit is not your thing, their elevated separates like their Sendero Wool Coat, Vicente Cotton Sweaters, and Traveler Chino offer the ultimate in first-class comfort.

In addition to the standout pieces listed above, Banana Republic’s jewelry and accessories should be on your shopping list for the Holiday season as well.

Must-Have | Chico’s Faux Leather Collection

Blog

No matter what your personal style is, you need a little (faux) leather in your wardrobe. Chico’s currently has a collection of buttery soft statement making pieces that are ready to take you from day to night. While it may seem crazy to think about wearing leather at the moment (hi 95 degree temps in Memphis), the official first day of Fall is just around the corner, so you don’t want to miss out on adding these stylish essentials to your closet.

There are a ton of faux leather pieces to choose from at Chico’s, but here are 3 styles that we think will be the easiest to incorporate into your wardrobe.

Faux Leather Blazer
You can never go wrong with a faux leather blazer in a classic neutral shade of black or brown. Pair with your favorite denim, or ground a lighter pair of pants with a classic tee and hills for a minimalistic, chic look.

Faux Leather Vest
An elevated 3rd piece, you can style your faux leather vest the same way you would your favorite knit cardigan. A simple long-sleeve tee layered under it makes for a classic look, or pair it with a gorgeous, abstract print blouse for an outfit that’s totally on trend.

Faux Leather Trousers
Leather pants will never go out of style, and their cropped version with a cutwork hem makes the look trendy and fashion forward.

Don’t forget the accessories! Chico’s is known for their statement making jewelry, and it compliments this collection so well!

Easing Into Fall With Evereve

Blog

I know I know, upon reading the title you’re probably thinking “who is thinking about Fall when it’s 95 degrees out?!” But hear me out! While the official first day of Fall isn’t until September 23, we’re entering into a transitional season this month. It may be hot during the day, but the nights are cool, so now’s the time to start adding in those pieces that will help with layering. Evereve, known for their elevated, everyday style, is the perfect choice to help you ease into Fall!

Light layers, like patterned kimonos, silky camisoles and quarter-sleeve button down blouses are wardrobe staples for this time of year. Also, trend setting denim (like Evereve’s Wide Leg Cropped styles) are perfect for those casual days. They can be worn with both heels and sandals, so they will be a versatile addition to your wardrobe.

Don’t forget to add in jewelry! Classic gold hoops and dainty necklaces will always be a smart choice, but you won’t go wrong adding in colorful or textured earrings as well.

Now, it doesn’t make sense to try and go out to buy a whole new wardrobe, but these are just a few pieces to consider adding to your wardrobe to help you ease into the season.

Evereve is a contemporary, curated boutique for on-trend fashion that complements women’s busy lifestyles. Their in-store stylists focus on helping you find the perfect pieces that fit your personal style. Stop in to see what’s new (and what you need for your closet)!
