Here's one thing no one tells you about being an adult: alongside bills, insurance, and general "grown-up" responsibilities, building a wardrobe [1] can add up quickly. Luckily, retailers like Banana Republic [2] stock tons of under-$100 items — and stylish, well-made ones [3] at that.
Throughout adulthood, the pieces in your closet need to serve various functions: appropriate for work, good for formal occasions [4], the list goes on. If you want items that'll last awhile, quality matters [5], too. The only problem is that often, a single piece can start at three digits (never mind the price of your entire cart).
You shouldn't have to work extra-hard to find great, affordable pieces, so we did the research for you. After a deep dive through Banana Republic's website, we've rounded up a whopping 100 pieces spanning every nearly every category you can think of. Get comfortable and keep reading to discover these impressive under-$100 finds. We won't be surprised if you have a full cart or a brand-new wardrobe by the time you finish this post.
