An Everlane update and ‘try-on’

The wardrobe basic – be it the humble t-shirt, a supple silk blouse, or a luxurious cashmere jumper – has truly become one of the unsung heroes of my wardrobe. Five days out of seven, I’ll find myself reaching for these foundation pieces which truly seem to have become the backbone, and workhorses, of my everyday outfits.

So, there was little stopping me from picking up a couple of additional pieces from Everlane, especially when each new style seems to only add to my never-ending wishlist. Next up on my hit list were a couple of additional silk cami’s, a piece from the linen range, and a simple u-neck t-shirt. It’s hard to pick a favourite from the bunch, but the linen is on par with Acne Studios, which means you’re getting a lot of bang for your buck.

A simple review turned into an opportunity to report back on all of the pieces that I’ve bought from Everlane over the last year, and share with you how they have been travelling after continued wear. One thing I have noticed is some slight inconsistencies between shades – ie. my grey cotton bf sweatshirt has pilled, yet my black one still shows no sign of wear (even with Charlotte’s incessant clawing at my shoulders) – and styles in similar fabrics, but overall, the quality is very high, especially given the very fair and affordable prices of the majority of the styles on the site.

If you’re looking to take the plunge, I don’t think you can go wrong with any of the pieces from their silk range (just play it safe as the lighter shades tend to be poorer quality), one of their linen tees, and one of the super soft cashmere sweaters (word on the street is that the cardigans are on the scratchy side – just sayin’!). If you’re curious to know how each piece fits, then I hope the video above is helpful, and if you’ve purchased any pieces I’m yet to try, I would love to know your thoughts in the comments below x
