I must be getting old!

I have always liked Banana Republic for it's understated, classic styles but it seems to be getting more pretentious lately. Still worth the visit though, for nice white shirts, neutrals, etc.

The look is more traditional than trendy, more work than play. It's the place to find a crisp white shirt, classic black wool trousers, linen-blend chinos, ultra-soft pima cotton golf shirts and basic cashmere sweaters. Jewellery and buttery-soft leather handbags are more au courant, and at end of season, priced to sell.

How do you spell SNOBS -- B A N A N A R E P U B L I C
This store has the WORST sales people. Just plain RUDE and so lazy! No greeting at the door like the other stores. I asked the guy for another item that was not damaged, and he looked at like I asked him for his liver. Yeah, and he was also my cashier.

I personally don't shop here, however, have come here to get a sweater for my cousin's B-day who likes the beige and the bland. Prices are mid range. Customer service was a bit snobby but I was there to buy something for my cousin and not for me.

I'm very short (5'2") and athletic, which means it is almost impossible for me to find pants that fit properly. Either the legs will be way too long, or the pants will fit okay in the hips and thighs but be huge in the waist. I had a few job interviews and really needed dress pants, so I followed my friends recommendations and went to Banana Republic.

This location is my favorite in Vancouver,... more

This is an update for the quality: the shirts I bought here already have holes in them. The dress shirt doesn't since I hardly wear it. I plan to shop elsewhere.

From reading other Yelpers' comments, it is clear that this location has mistaken itself for Leone. But I had good service. I hadn't been in this store in a couple of years but I have always liked BR for its great use of better fabrics, like wool with Lycra and silks. My sister and I were there on a recent Saturday and collected an armful of clothes for her to try on. We looked on the main... more

I don't shop at Banana Republic for myself because it just isn't my style. I probably could find a few items in here but overall, it's just not a store that I've ever had a reason to shop at (other than for my mother, maybe).

My boyfriend was shopping on Robson and I was coming to meet him after work. He asked me to meet him in Banana Republic where he was looking at some stuff and trying it... more

The Robson location of Banana Republic is by far one of my favourite locations. The fact that there are three floors (mens, womens, and petite/Heritage collection) mean that it is a more calm shopping experience. This is the only lower mainland location to offer the Heritage collection. I have received some of the best customer service of my life at this location. The staff, especially one of... more

Yay, 75% off sale, just on last season's fashion! bought a few work pants, and there was a trendy black trench coat that with the 75% off, cost about $85 which is a great deal. too bad i've got 2-3 of these lol. I just didnt like the high lappel, but the 3 button was cool, and the slanted style pockets.

It's a steal by BR standards!

Staff was helpful, no complaints.

Ugh. There's nothing more I hate then when I get "shopping profiled" when I go looking for new clothes. You know when they look at you and automatically assume you aren't worthy enough to shop at their store? Well, that happens more often then not when I try to shop at Banana Republic. Sure, I don't dress like I just stepped off the set of Mad Men when I'm out shopping for work clothes, but... more

And the winner for Robson Street retail salesperson of the year is.....drumroll.... The guy from Banana republic!!!!

Only 3 1/2 stars because the casual wear in this store might be better suited to a safari than the streets of Vancouver. 5 stars for service and 2 for clothes.

However, I stopped in here to pick up some new work pants and no sooner had I picked up a pair of pants than "Mr... more

I shopped at BR for 20 years.
Good:
-Clothing quality and followup customer service have remained consistently high.
-Their clothes accommodate, and flatter, a variety of body types.
Bad:
-Clothing styles and colours have gone from "unique classic" to "bland conservative".
-Prices have spiraled out of control. In one year, I saw a classic pant go up $60 in price, to $240.
-Customer service used... more

I have a soft spot for Banana Republic, since it was my introduction to nicer clothes and a tad traditional menswear. You really have to respect a company that attempts to bring back some sense of style in a generation where wearing a shirt with buttons is considered "dressing up".

With that said, the quality of Banana Republic is deteriorating as they expand to more and more cities. In the US... more

Having worked at a Banana Republic store in Calgary in my youth, I have a soft-spot for BR and its classic tailoring and luxe fabrics.

Having said that, the thing I miss the most about working at BR was the significant discount I received...the mark-up is obvious but most people are aware of this. If not, you've been told! Waiting for the sale days is completely worth it. If you simply must... more

So I normally don't go into BR very often, and found myself wandering into the store today on a total whim....

Do you ever have those moments when you see something and you completely fall in luv, and then suddenly you are snapped back to reality when you realize that your standing in the middle of BR and your fawning a cashmere sweater??? Are my hipster day behind me?? am I getting old? for a... more
