Banana Republic

The mall-staple megabrand is still the go-to for preppy yuppies. Its two-floor Soho flagship features miniboutiques within the larger store; themed sections include weekend wear, the fashion-forward City Works line, and the eco-friendly Heritage collection. An in-house concierge team also walks the floor now, offering shoppers advice on where to eat and things to see in the neighborhood. Those solely on a shopping mission should book it to the register with camp shirts ($60), cropped sateen pants ($70) and men’s chino blazers ($250).
