"Three new Rs to learn: Rock &amp;amp; Republic Recession. The current credit crisis has affected everyone differently, but in the case of the denim brand, the staggering economy has occasioned a very welcome dressing-down. The new four-piece diffusion line features two men\u2019s styles, the straight-leg Neil and the skinny Colburg\u2014some of the brand\u2019s most restrained offerings yet. (Though certain things haven\u2019t changed: Both looks are steadfastly low-rise.) On top of the revamped styling, the pants come with (you guessed it) a more-affordable price tag.
