Old Navy was founded in 1994, which makes it a heritage brand in the American retail landscape. “It’s a beloved American brand with real depth,” he says.

We found Old Navy’s High-Waisted PowerSoft Sculpt leggings for 40 percent off. They’re moisture-wicking and slightly compressive (without being restrictive).

I went shopping for similar T-shirts at Old Navy, Gap, and Banana Republic. My favorite top was high-quality and affordable.
