Sure, Banana Republic might be known for its polished workwear [1] and petite-friendly sizing [2], but here's an underrated shopping tip: it also has great accessories. From colourful jewellery to eye-catching handbags, the retailer's accessories section is full of gems featuring the same modern sophistication you know and love from its clothes, but with even more of an on-trend twist. After all, if there's one aspect of your work outfit that you can have a little fun with, it's definitely the accessories. And these aren't just statement-making, they're outfit-making. Go ahead, stock up on a few!
Resin Skinny Hoop Earrings
From mint to deep jade, shades of green [3] are having a moment, and it doesn't look like they're going anywhere for Fall. Green earrings are a nice way to subtly dip your toes (or your ears, rather) in the trend, and these resin hoop earrings [4] ($38) are a nice in-between pistachio hue that you can wear both now and later.
Rainbow Ring Set
Whether you wear them stacked together or spread out, this playful rainbow ring set [5] ($58) lets your fingers do all the talking.
Satin Knot Headband
The easiest way to turn a bad hair day into a good hair day? Slip on a headband [6] ($23). This option features a luxe satin texture and pale pink colour that will add a touch of feminine sophistication to any look.
Mule Slide
For a modern take on everyday flats, opt for mule slides [7] ($108) in a snake-printed leather. The snake print keeps them current, while the neutral colour combination and sleek, minimal design make them easy to wear with almost anything.
Net Tote
With the round wooden handle and macramé weaving, this net tote [8] ($98) is like the elevated, street-ready version of your favourite beach tote. It works just as well with your swimsuit as it does with a crisp linen blazer.
Clara Sunglasses
We're firm believers that sunglasses are an outfit necessity, not just an accessory. These sunglasses [9] ($78), which are a rounder, softer take on the trendy cat-eye shape, will top off any look with a fun pop of colour.
Animal Print Square Scarf
With all the ways you can sport it, a scarf is definitely the MVP of accessories. This silky scarf [10] ($38) in the season's It print will look good tied in your hair, on your bag, around your neck . . . you get the picture.
Kitten-Heel Mule Pump
The silhouette of these kitten heel mules [11] ($128) may be polished, but the metallic silver leather is all party. Slip into them to instantly dress up even the most basic outfits.
Resin Hair Clip
The claw clips from your childhood are back! This hair clip [12] ($20) retains that same whimsical vibe as your favourite accessories of yore, but with more sophisticated details, like a sleek half-moon shape and gold hardware. Throw it in your hair to add an unexpected touch and a little personality.
Hammered Geo Hoop Earrings
Part artsy, part refined, these earrings [13] ($68) bring a hint of glimmer to frame your face and enhance your ensemble. Wear them to complement an updo or dress up a t-shirt.
Transparent Tote Bag
Round handle, extrawide strap, clear vinyl, croc-embossed finish — this piece combines all our favourite trends into one must-have tote bag [14] ($88) that you can wear for work and play.
