The word in the street is that Banana Republic at the Renaissance. In recent months, the Mall brand has changed from this store that you used to buy work clothes in the first aughts at the Chic brand of the day among the fashion set – and it is not only because of its buzzing collaborations. His carefully designed pieces recall the classic aesthetics of the apogee of Banana Republic; In fact, almost every time I brought a recent BR purchase in the house, I was arrested, complimented and questioned for more details. And the Banana Republic spring collection – including its very publicized White lotus Collaboration – has all the programs of an essential spring wardrobe.
However, as a small 5 -feet 2 inch woman in the middle of the thirties, it is not always easy to shop out of the rack; As a general rule, most of the traveling trips require a lively imagination – what would this “mini” dress would look like if she was hit in where she was supposed to do? Is it worth paying the high price for a pair of jeans of which I will hear near one foot of fabric? So I decided to go to the location of the Century City store to see if the rooms of the new spring styles of the retailer would be up to the viral media threw. Although most stores do not actually work small – they are generally only available in line – I was lucky and I was able to try a few pieces previously returned in small size. In front, 15 pieces out of seven outfits, I cannot stop recommending other little ones.

As I mentioned, most mini dresses tend to hit me just above my knee, which leads to a more matron than chic look. But miraculously, the hem for this white Lotus mini-robe came just below my fingers-enough of myself so that I did not feel the desire to gather directly on the tailor. In addition, because the dress has adjustable traction straps and the back has a hidden hit elastic strap, it is almost customizable – a real 10/10 holiday dress. The one I tried was regular, but it also comes in small ones for all those looking to show a little more leg.

I was sure that this set was going to swallow me when I saw it on the hanger, but I did not feel as well in a matching whole, well, roughly. While the skirt is also small, I tried these two pieces in regular dimensioning and I fell in love. The skirt also includes an elastic belt hidden with an adjustable cord and pockets! Meanwhile, the summit has an elastic hem that I hiked a little more than expected (and could be folded for an even shorter look). I ended up doing a little more shopping in stores while wearing it and he remained firmly in place.

Finally – a maximum dress that does not drag on the floor! I tried this style on several levels in small and regular and I was delighted to see that the two hems worked; The difference was a touch of more space in the body and about an inch in the hem, with the little hem dress striking just above my ankle. I wear a sandal with approximately a thumb high, but even with apartments, the dress of regular size did not break the ground. As a rule, everything that wraps around me generally plunges too low on the chest, but this style was comfortably conservative. I could absolutely see it working both for a weekend picnic and like a beach blanket.

This cashmere sweater is a real $ 150 flight – it feels even softer and more lived than a four -digit version that I bought last year – and these Bermuda shorts were the definition of comfort. I tried in size 2, the smallest they had in store, and even if I liked the substantial adjustment, I could probably have benefited from the dimensioning. I’m just going to say: this look made me feel rich. The sling pumps also look like something that I would adopt daily.

I heard mixed criticism on these fishermen’s pants. Banana Republic had small, regular, And Large sizing in stores from recent feedback, so I tried the first two with small differences, with the exception of hem and bar degree. These are regular size pants, which I found incredibly comfortable – the shape of the barrel is absolutely divine (and supremely fashionable). The folding cord front was easy to understand. I could see myself very much carry them with a swimsuit during the holidays, so they get an official boost of me.

I love a matching set of shorts, but I find them incredibly difficult to find. Most of the time, I feel like a motorhome with a uniform in which I am supposed to grow, but it was very good. The Short boxer was spacious but could be rolled for a shorter hem, while the top struck just below my hips – about three inches lower than on the model. However, the material was light and airy, and not at all as if I wore my older sister’s clothes.

My biggest surprise of the day came in the form of these jeans, which have made a bundle in a way that I die of recreating since. Although they come to small online, they had only regular dimensioning in stores and I could not be happier from “the discomfort caused”. They adapt like a glove – lived and relaxed – and at the same time the shirt and the buttoned jacket with which I twinned them have felt something, which is really all I want with my clothes. If you are small, I recommend to size in the shirt – it was an XXS and he struck exactly where I wanted (not completely covering my buttocks).
