The return of J.Crew and Banana Republic in fashion has been something I haven’t been able to get out of my head. The mall was my favorite place during high school (wasn’t it every teenager’s?), and those two stores were probably the ones that I never walked in. (Back then, Forever 21 was more my vibe.) But now, they’ve become my favorite retailers to peruse. If you take a look at my evergrowing wish list, a Banana Republic bucket bag made out of Italian suede and a J.Crew cashmere sweater sits pretty at the top. I could go on about the gems I’ve found in the new-arrivals section, but today’s shopping discussion is all the under-$100 items you can find with the right amount of digging.
Below, we’ve rounded up the most expensive-looking J.Crew and Banana Republic items that are somehow all under $100. Whether you’re on the hunt for a new pair of jeans or a winter-ready knit, the selection below has you covered. Keep scrolling to shop, and get ready for all the compliments you’ll receive once you wear them. (Don’t be surprised if people think you paid triple the price.)
