Banana Republic heads to Japan’s Chiba Coast for “Summer, Forever,” its August 2026 edit starring Aubrey O’Mahony. The seaside outing taps into the label’s travel-minded past with archive-inspired pieces and easy summer layers.
Banana Republic in Japan
An archive reissue field jacket tops a graphic T-shirt and shorts. Washed henleys, relaxed chinos, and linen shirts span a palette of indigo, khaki, olive, and sun-faded neutrals.
Along the coast, Banana Republic uses late summer as an excuse to loosen up familiar American sportswear. Aubrey wears linen open at the chest, layers shirts with rolled sleeves, and pairs earthy separates with soft suede footwear.
A vintage Honda motorcycle adds a touch of the wanderlust associated with Banana Republic’s early years, when travel and utility shaped the brand’s identity. Here, that history finds an easy counterpart in Chiba, where airy linen, faded denim, and worn-in layers stretch summer a little longer.
Banana Republic worked a similar coastal formula earlier in its July edit shot in Ericeira, Portugal.
