Banana Republic review

Banana Republic suits petite women who want a cleaner, workwear look and like to compare measurements before buying. Its product pages print the front rise, leg opening and both inseams: the Mid-Rise Barrel Ankle Jean, for example, has a 12" front rise, a 17.5" leg opening and a 22" petite inseam against 24" for regular, measured on size 6/28. The petite jeans page includes bootcut, 90s straight, wide-leg, palazzo, barrel and cropped styles, and a separate short inseam page listed 39 jeans. Regular prices run $120 to $140, but nearly every pair was marked down when we checked, with extra discounts at checkout. Watch the details: some reduced pairs are final sale, and the petite size range on the barrel jean ran only from 24 to 30. Like Old Navy, the petite change is mainly in length, so check the listed rise on each style.
