Fabworthy: Banana Republic Silk Leopard Print Top

August 27, 2007

If you're a Wild Thing, do your inner animal a favor and consume this Banana Republic Silk Leopard print top, $68. What makes this blouse a stand out is that it's so feminine and tame compared to some of the more randy animal-print styles out there. The gathered scoop neckline, the capped sleeves and the muted colors give this effect. This blouse will satiate your inner animal and Glamour Girl all at the same time!

This would be a good candidate for being belted to rein in the volume...but it looks like it might be too short to belt.Am I gathering from these comments that many of us are over the whole voluminous thing?

The blouse is cute, but that model looks like the karate kid in drag.

I'm not sure about this one. I think it would look great under a suit jacket and it's great alternative for work, but it doesn't look very tailored. For me, BR is very inconsistent. Sometimes they put out some great pieces, but usually they are the basics (monotone skirts, pants etc. in neutrals) I usually find their prints and color schemes don't work for me.

I, for one, am so stoked that they have started making Hefty bags in sassy animal prints!!

I really don't care for animal prints, but I have to admit some can be attractive, but this is not one of those. Even if this shirt was a solid color it'd be ugly, and this print makes it even more hideous.
