Mango and Levi's both sit at $60, splitting on fit and feel rather than price. Mango's slim European cut reads sharper and dressier, with the odd 100% wool style as an upgrade; Levi's relaxed cotton crew is the easy-care casual that pairs naturally with denim. Both use mid-gauge blends, and both can pill depending on the style.

Which should you buy?
Same $60 either way, so let the use decide. Buy the Mango if you want a slimmer, more put-together look and don't mind sizing up. Buy the Levi's if you want a relaxed, no-fuss cotton crew for casual days with jeans. The Levi's often dips into the $40s on sale, which makes it the better value when discounted, while the Mango earns its keep on looks at full price.
