OR THIS FOR LESS
Old Navy Jeans
Price: $25
Savings over Banana Republic: $65

We found nearly identical "Skinny Ankle" jeans at Old Navy, Banana Republic's sister store (both are owned by Gap, Inc.). The Old Navy jeans feature different stitching patterns than the Banana Republic pair, but they share color, contour and fabric components.

When it comes to buying the basics, comparison shopping can get you the look you want for less.
