- I tried on similar black sweaters at Banana Republic, Old Navy, and Gap.
- I liked the style of the Gap sweater, and was even more impressed with the price.
- Although the option from Banana Republic was expensive, I thought it offered the best overall value.
Whenever it’s time to put up Christmas lights or adjust to daylight-saving time, I typically look through my drawers and discover I need more winter clothes.
This year, I made finding reliable and versatile sweaters a priority. So, I turned to three Gap Inc.-owned retailers — Banana Republic, Old Navy, and Gap — to find a black sweater that was both cozy and stylish.
Going into this trip, I knew the items at Banana Republic would likely be a splurge for my budget. I expected the clothes at Old Navy and Gap to be more in my price range, but I arrived at a Los Angeles-area mall, ready to open my wallet and purchase items I could wear for seasons to come.
However, I was quickly reminded that price isn’t the only factor to consider when shopping for new clothes.
