Every month it seems more and more options present themselves for us to reinvent our style and our looks. Certain brands are at the forefront of the trends and tend to push us out of our comfort zones and into fresh new looks from season to season. Then there are others that stand firm in the classic silhouettes and styles that we can wear from month to month. Banana Republic is one of those brands that stay consistent and stylish no matter what season you find yourself. They are also what we think of as a “gap-bridger.” This is the brand that bridges the gap between high-quality fashion and accessibility. The Banana Republic January Edit has landed, and it focuses on some major style must-haves in your wardrobe.

The focus on three fashion musts

With the January Edit, Banana Republic focuses on three style aspects you should have: Linen, layering, and travel. Starting with linen, it is a versatile and breathable fabric that dries quickly and retains its durability. This makes linen of the go-to fabrics for travelers everywhere. The January Edit features linen in their sweaters and polos, making them perfect for the road. They also feature stretch fabrics in their pants and cargo pants that make them a go-to companion on the road or at the airport. Finally, pairing their polos and long-sleeve tees with their overshirts or outerwear makes this the kind of collection you need for the travels you have planned in 2025.

UNTUCKit goes beyond shirts for an ‘Untucked shoe’ with Hari Mari
The most casual shoe from the leader in the elevated casual shirt
UNTUCKitxHari Mari hero

UNTUCKit has changed the way that we wear button-up shirts. If you are a millennial or earlier generation, you remember the days when every button-up shirt was made to be tucked in, with really long front flaps and a long tail in the back to keep the shirt in place once tucked. While that is quite helpful for your favorite dress shirt and your best casual shirts, it became a sloppy mess when you wanted to wear it more casually and untuck it. That is where UNTUCKit revolutionized the fashion world. Now, they are teaming up with a company known for some of the best shoes for a great flip-flop. The UNTUCKit x Hari Mari collaboration brings the best casual shoes to the leader of the casual shirt.

"We’re excited to partner with Hari Mari to create a product that perfectly aligns with the UNTUCKit lifestyle—relaxed, stylish, and versatile," said Chris Riccobono, founder of UNTUCKit. "These flip-flops bring together the best of both brands, delivering a truly unique product precisely created and crafted for our customers."

Timothee Chalamet bust

There are few names that are trending upward in Hollywood more than Timothee Chalamet. He is one of the most lauded actors in big blockbusters like Dune and its sequel, Interstellar, and Wonka, and he is also taking the world by storm with incredible performances in more reward-focused films like Lady Bird and Call Me By Your Name. Recently, he made splashes this award season for his true story biopic of Bob Dylan, A Complete Unknown. While we loved his nominations, awards, and speeches, we would be lying if we didn't get distracted by his stellar red carpet looks. Not only are we excited about his stellar look at the Academy Awards nomination dinner from GapStudio, but now you can recreate it with a limited edition recreation from on GAP.

While most men love to adopt the all-black look for evening dinner events, Chalamet elected to go with a more dressed-down look, more closely resembling something fitting for his Bob Dylan role.
