When it comes to holiday dressing [1], pieces tend to fall in one of two categories: extremely fancy or extremely cosy. Sitting at two very opposite ends of the fashion spectrum, the direction you choose is usually relative to the type of event on your agenda. While the shiniest, most extravagant pieces usually feel most appropriate for formal parties [2] and lavish New Year's Eve events, the snuggliest, most comfortable ones [3] are perfect for family time at home. Luckily, retailers like Banana Republic [4] stock options for both extremes.
From Thanksgiving dinner to your aunt's annual Christmas Eve party, the dress code for events like these is open to interpretation, but cosy pieces are always welcome. Ahead, we've rounded up our favourite Banana Republic picks, including all of the sherpa, cosy knits, and fleece you can think of. Keep scrolling to shop them for yourself.
