While other designers and fashion houses experiment and have fun, it’s always nice to have classic styles to fall back on, such as the Banana Republic Spring 2010 collection. Sporting relaxed outfits, each model still manages to look sleek and stylish.
Featuring a heavy emphasis on denim pieces and candy-colored blouses, the Banana Republic Spring 2010 has enough pizazz to liven up your winter wardrobe for this new-bloom season while maintaining a professional look. As Banana Republic’s president, Jack Calhoun, says, “We’re still a work brand, but we want to have great weekend and going-out clothes, too.”
