Good American Vintage Straight Ankle Jeans vs Lee Women's Heritage High-Rise Straight Jean

The Good American Vintage Straight Ankle is the more fashion-forward pick: a cropped 27.5-inch inseam, button fly, yellow-blue wash and distressed details, with 1% elastane for give. The Lee Heritage High-Rise Classic Straight is the plainer, more traditional jean, a high-rise straight in a soft cotton blend with five pockets and Lee hardware, rated 4.2 from a small set of 16 ratings. Buy the Good American for a cropped, styled look; buy the Lee for a high-rise everyday straight at a lower commitment.

• Choose the Good American Vintage Straight Ankle if you want a cropped, ankle-length straight with a button fly and a bit of stretch in a statement wash.
• Choose the Lee Heritage High-Rise Classic Straight if you want a high-rise, full-length straight in a soft cotton blend with a classic five-pocket look.
