The bottom lineWhich should you buy?
At the same $20, pick by what you value. Quince is the move if fabric quality and a plain minimalist cut matter most, with organic and supima options doing the work. Go Mango if you want a more current, fashion-aware silhouette and don't mind that it's built for seasons rather than the long haul. Neither costs more, so let style versus fabric break the tie.
