Banana Republic clothing is a division of Gap if you didn't already figure it out. I was searching for some jeans in Gap one day when I a sales clerk lended a hand. She spoke of Banana Republic, which baffled me. Why would she mention a competitor. Well, it turns out they're more of an ally, or accomplice, depending on how you view clothing stores.

Anyway, Banana Republic, Gap, and Old Navy seem to be working in collaboration. You see the obvious picture. Here are three levels of clothing at different price ranges, therefore appealing to everyone. Hey, isn't that a monopoly? Okay, I guess not exactly.

I first noticed Banana Republic clothing when I was preparing for a photo shoot. I was in need of some high-fashion duds that would rock a camera. The photographer mentioned Banana Republic to me and I checked it out. I have to admit, I liked what I saw. If you're going for a kind of up-beat, high fashion look in a modern environment, Banana Republic clothing is perfect.

Whether many of us males admit it or not, we want to look nice. Although we try and fight the concept that women love men who dress nicely, it's really unavoidable. Women love their men to look good. Ask any of them. They will tell you that a shmo is a tuxedo looks a lot nicer than a shmo in a torn pair of jeans and a dirty T-shirt.

My wife also loves Banana Republic clothing. It offers her a nice business-sheik look for her profession. The prices can be a bit much at times, but considering the clothing she looks at in other stores, I'd say it's rather comparable. If you don't believe me, just take a browse through Nordstrom's or Guess.

If you want to look nice these days, it's going to cost you. Whether you're male or female, you may find a style right for you in Banana Republic. The clothing is suited for those in a business atmosphere, or those who are looking for that nice club attire. Whatever your style, you'll likely find something exciting in Banana Republic.
