Fit Review Friday! Banana Republic Faux Fur Bomber
January 9, 2020
Happy Friday! Banana Republic is offering an extra 60% off sale styles today. I tried on this super cute faux fur bomber at the store recently.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches and typically a size PXS/XS in Banana Republic. Size 4 in Lululemon tops and size XXS/PXS in Athleta tops.
I was pretty impressed with how soft the faux fur is. I'm wearing size XS here and it works because the style of the jacket is cropped. The bomber look is something that never really goes out of style in my opinion and I like the ribbed cuffs and hem. The thick collar is also also a nice touch. The jacket hits at the hip and does not cover the bum. This jacket is semi fitted and very comfortable in the size XS. The PXS would have been a little bit more fitted on me, but they didn't have it at the store.
The fit is slouchy in a cute teddy bear way. The sleeves are as always too long on me. I did not go home with this mainly because the camel color is never a shade I reach for. If this came in another color like gray, I might have bought it.
Unfortunately this jacket is completely sold out online, but Banana Republic has a lot of other faux fur jackets currently available and on sale.
In other news, WMTM updated with the Plush Scuba Hoodie for $89! Dark Adobe is sold out otherwise I would have liked to pick one up for myself. I love the night diver and purchased one for my sister. If you missed my review, check it out here.
That's it for me! Hope you all have a great weekend!

Always too late . I went to buy the scuba and they’re all gone maybe next year I’ll buy one lol
ReplyDeleteawww, well I hope they release again next year so maybe I can snag another color!
DeleteI saw the plush scuba but didn't buy it in time! I have too many hoodies and jackets so maybe next year! The BR fur jacket looks so cute on you! I love that color too.
ReplyDeleteI have too many as well. Time to thin the herd!
DeleteThe faux fur bomber looks really cute on you but like you, I’m not particularly fond of camel color. It would be nice in grey or cream colors. So what’s your verdict? Which is your most favorite sherpa/faux fur jacket so far?
ReplyDeleteI checked out the Banana Republic website but the faux fur/sherpa jackets are soooo expensive!
Good question!!! I think the best sherpa jacket goes to Athleta's Tugga Jacket. Best faux fur goes to Patagonia's Lunar Frost Jacket. I really love the cut and style. I just didn't love the color. I'm hoping next year they will release better colors.
