Which should you buy?
Same $30, so this is about fit philosophy. Buy the Abercrombie if you want to dial in your silhouette, slim runs true and flattering, and you shop the sales where reviewers rate the fit above the price. Buy the Everlane if organic sourcing matters and you want one structured fit that wears well on its own. Both hold shape but show some color fading over time, so neither wins on dye longevity.
