BR Factory: 40% off + Extra 25% off $100+ (exp. 6/20)

Why anyone would want to wear only clothes mainly from one store, I don’t know. BUT… it can make for a fun experiment. Or maybe you already have similar gear, and this can provide as inspiration. Here’s five clickable outfits with foundations mined from Banana Republic FACTORY’s currently running 55% off $100+ event.

Yes, BR Factory is one of those brands that seems to “always” be on sale, but 40% off + an additional 25% off $100+ (net=55% off) is quite good for them. Especially considering much of their new summer tailored wear looks to use breathable fabrics and smart tailoring details like no lining or half-lined blazers (which should equal real breathability). A reminder that BR Factory is going to be a step down in terms of quality compared to mainline BR. But they’re also significantly more affordable. Individual BRF item prices below reflect a 40% + additional 25% off discount (we’re assuming you’d spend more than $100, as each outfit is north of that).
