The 32 Best Things to Buy at Banana Republic This Fall 2026

Banana Republic has become one of the most dependable outposts in the menswear universe, which should be no surprise to anyone paying attention. Over the past few seasons, the brand has dialed in a wonderfully edited mix of pants, shirts, outerwear and tailoring. But the brand doesn’t rest on it laurels, they’re aren’t just casually playing the hits like a long-touring act, it’s also shown an ability to surprise that few of its competitors can muster, whether it’s the perfect archive pull, a subtly approachable directional piece, an obscure fabric or a combination of all three.Which is why we keep coming back. But Banana ain't exactly a small operation, so you do have to poke around a bit to find the real standouts. But when you do, the payoff is big: featherweight knits to break the button-up boredom, genuinely great suiting in louche fabrics, and linen pants that easily outclass their price tag. To that end, we figured we’d parse it for you and pull some of our favorites. Check out what we’re into below, or head on over to the Banana Republic site to check it all out for yourself.Our Banana Republic Hit ListThe Cashmere (and Silk!)

Why do I mention this? Because you’ll find a lot of brands out there that include some corduroy in their fall assortment, but very few commit to the deliriously comfortable, surprisingly versatile bit. In fact, Banana Republic is one of the few that goes all-in on the fabric. Case in point, this year, the shirts might be as good as the pants.Banana RepublicLoose Corduroy PantBanana RepublicArchive Reissue Corduroy ShirtBanana RepublicThe City ShirtBanana RepublicStandard-Fit Lightweight Corduroy ShirtHardworking PantsBanana Republic’s voluminous trousers have earned a lot of love recently, but that doesn’t mean the rest of their pant selection isn’t dialed. In fact, the denim program has undergone something of a revolution—in particular, check out the dynamite dark wash pair of Straight Authentics—and the Archive Reissue line is one of the best repro lines you can find in any store right now, big or small.Banana RepublicArchive Reissue Straight Pleated ChinoBanana RepublicOn-The-Go Relaxed Pleated PantBanana RepublicArchive Reissue Relaxed ChinoBanana RepublicStraight Authentic JeanPitch-Perfect PolosAt this point, the polo comeback has turned into a full-blown dynasty. Anyone that has let the knit variety into their lives can attest to how well-warranted that assessment is. And while the novelty has waned, the utility hasn’t, and few brands, regardless of size, do one better than Banana Republic. Johnny Collars, two-buttons, button-throughs… you name it, BR crushes it, in whatever fabric you’re looking for, too.Banana RepublicSlub Double-Knit PoloBanana Republicx Zankov Frankie Cashmere Sweater PoloBanana RepublicFrench Terry Popover PoloBanana RepublicArchive Reissue Striped Rugby JerseyFoundational FlannelsIf we were all playing a menswear-related word association game, “Banana Republic” might not be the first thing you’d shout out when flannels are brought up, but they absolutely could be. Not only are they soft as hell and available in multiple degrees of hardiness, but they’re also sturdy enough to get better after taking a little bit of a beating.Banana RepublicRelaxed-Fit Embroidered Cotton Quilted Flannel OvershirtBanana RepublicRelaxed-Fit Flannel ShirtBanana RepublicLightweight Brushed Flannel ShirtBanana RepublicRelaxed-Fit Textured Flannel ShirtEasy-Button Button-UpsI’m an exhaustively-documented knit fiend, but that doesn’t mean I don’t imbibe (heavily) in button-ups—especially when they’re as easy as BR’s tend to be. Regardless of desired silhouette, there’s something enticing, although this fall the highlight just might be the lineup’s rookie, called the City Shirt: loose-fitting, not too long and comfortable in any evening setting, regardless of draft price. Don’t skip the oxfords either, which last for ages, or the perfectly-faded denim shirt that’s recently landed.Banana RepublicStandard-Fit Chambray ShirtBanana RepublicThe City ShirtBanana RepublicStandard-Fit Cotton Oxford ShirtBanana RepublicRelaxed-Fit Denim ShirtShowstopping OuterwearYou might not have winter jackets on your mind, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a good time to nab one, nor does it preclude you from engaging in the slightly less substantial fare. For instance, there isn’t a better time to wear a suede jacket than mid-fall into early-winter. Same goes for a waxed cotton heater pulled directly out of the archives or a cheeky-ass barn coat with a delicious corduroy collar.Banana RepublicRelaxed Double-Breasted Italian Glen Plaid Suit JacketBanana RepublicLoose Italian Wool Pleated Suit PantBanana RepublicDouble-Breasted Twill Suit JacketBanana RepublicLoose Pleated Twill Suit PantSavvy SuitingIn no world is $750 “inexpensive” or “cheap,” but when it comes to suiting options, Banana Republic’s feel—and wear—like those well into four-digit territory and will generally stay south of $800. This season, for instance, you can get yourself a killer relaxed-fitting, double-breasted number made out of a stunning 100% Responsible Wool Standard Glen Plaid fabric and still keep the damage under the aforementioned threshold.Banana RepublicSuede Barn CoatBanana RepublicArchive Reissue Waxed Cotton Canvas ParkaBanana RepublicItalian Melton Top CoatBanana RepublicCotton Canvas Barn CoatAnywhere KnitwearFall is primetime for all layers, voluminous coats are bountiful but everyone knows that fall dressing all starts with a damn good knit. The spectrum of what is considered “good” is a vast one, you can go with a lightweight cashmere joint or a soft cloud-like wool sweater. You also want something you can fuss with, and nothing fusses better than some good ol’ fashioned knitwear. And whether you’re looking for rollnecks, v-necks, or henleys, BR’s understated, wildly versatile quiver makes the search easy.Banana RepublicCashmere-Silk Crew-Neck SweaterBanana RepublicCotton Roll-Neck SweaterBanana RepublicMerino Chore CardiganBanana RepublicMerino V-Neck Sweater
