Ten Best Pieces to Buy from Everlane 2024

At one point it wasn’t uncommon for my entire outfit to be from Everlane. I was such a devotee, ,and my style journey was heavily dictated by the basics (something they do very well). Given that I’ve loved the brand for a decode now, I wanted to share the ten best pieces to buy from Everlane in 2024. Safe to say that this isn’t an exhaustive list (there are many more items I’ve owned which I wish I could include), but moreso a curated of the very best bits. AKA the creme de la creme.

For size reference, I’m 172cm tall (or 5’8″) and typically a size US4/AU8 or 26 in jeans.

#1 | Everlane Alpaca Crew

Starting off strong with what is possibly my all-time favorite piece from the brand; their Alpaca Crew Knit Sweater. And I have to admit that I’m very surprised to see it’s currently on sale – possibly an indicator that it may be discontinued or replaced with something new. At any rate, now might be the best time to buy as you can snag a deal. What I particularly like about this sweater are the details. Yes, it’s a basic crew, but it has slightly ballooned sleeves, and this puffiness to the collar which both make this knit feel special. Cut a little boxy through the body which is balanced out by the length. I also love the ribbed texture, and the way that the colour doesn’t appear flat. There’s depth to it.

I’ve owned many colours of the alpaca crew, and it’s one of those styles that has endured, and held up well. This fits true to size for a relaxed, lived in fit. I’m wearing a size S but if you’d prefer a slimmer fit I’d recommend sizing down one.

#2 | Everlane Way High Jeans

My next favorite are the Everlane Way High Jeans. And across the board, Everlane do some of the best denim I’ve tried. It feels robust and sturdy but also has all the hallmarks of comfort both in their rigid 100% cotton lines, and their denim styles which incorporate stretch. Each pair is made using premium Japanese denim which adds to the experience of wearing them.

This particular denim style is cut straight through the leg, which is a cut that tends to be universally flattering (I recommend this a lot for my clients who are curvy through the hips). Opt for a full length to maximise the effect and make your legs look like they go for days. These are probably the jeans I reach for most often when I’m with my kids because they are really comfortable, and you can move around in them with a lot of ease.

I’m usually a 26 in jeans, however I do find that I have to size down in many of Everlane’s denim styles. I’m wearing the way high jeans in size 25 Long. If you’re someone who is very tall these may end up being cropped on you, though I do appreciate that they offer a range of inseams so you can find your perfect fit.

#3 | Everlane Tailored Blazer

My third favourite technically is no longer available in this exact fabrication, but the style endures so I had to mention it as it’s one of the oldest Everlane items I have in my closet. The Oversized Wool Blazer. The cut, finish, detailing is all perfect; and despite the shift in trends, this hasn’t dated (nor would I expect it to!). The Italian wool is really beautiful as it’s sturdy and feels like something you would get get from a more expensive brand that focuses on luxury tailoring. Also bonus points for being fully lined – no corners cut here! The length is perfect as it hits just below the hip which is very flattering and works both with a slim pant or a style that’s cut wider through the leg (+ dresses, skirts, shorts et al.).

Sizing wise this fits true to size for a relaxed fit. I’m wearing the US4 here.

#4 | Everlane Linen Easy Short

This kind of breezy, elasticated waist short seems to be doing the rounds, and I think these from Everlane are some of the best. Not too short, lots of functional pockets, and a super soft and stretchy waistband that stays firm but doesn’t feel like it’s cutting in. They’re 100% linen, and I’m assuming the fabric has been pre-washed as they already have that super soft, lived in feeling.

The white is ever so slightly sheer but this is something that can be easily remedied by wearing skin colored underwear. I’m wearing the size S and would say they fit true to size. These have a nice wide opening through the leg too so ideal if you are thicker through the thigh area.

#5 | Everlane Supima Cotton Boyfriend Shirt

If you’re looking for a boxy, oversized boyfriend shirt, then this is the one. It’s semi-structured, 100% cotton, not sheer at all. And the detail I specifically like is the high split on the side seam; this makes the design very versatile as you can easily do a French or half tuck without having any awkward bulky fabric around the waist. You also have options to perform a few styling hacks like tying the back section under, to cinch in the waist and splay the hemline across the hips.

The fact that the fabric has bit of the stiffness to it feels a bit more refined and elevated while still having all the nonchalance and ease of a “boyfriend” shirt.

I’m wearing size S and will say if you’re petite I’d recommend sizing down because it is cut quite wide across the shoulders so you may find you have a bit of excess fabric here across the chest.

#6 | Everlane Draper Pleated Pant

Previously called the Way High Pants, the Draper Pleated Pants encapsulate all the best details that you’d want in a fluid drape trouser. And personally, I think anything from their “Way High” line are some of their best styles. You get a true high rise that is really comfortable and I do feel like this particular pair are cut generously across the seat so another style that’s perfect for women with wider hips. I do find the waist runs a little on the large side, so will always refer back to the exact item measurements which are listed on their website size chart before adding anything to cart.

I’m an AU8/jean size 26 and have the in the US2 (short) – I believe this is the 30 inch inseam.

This particular style also comes in linen, but I personally prefer the twill weave. The fabric has a bit more weight to it that holds its structure more as you wear them (whereas the linen tends to soften quite quickly).

#7 | Everlane Oversized Boxy Tee

As far as I’m concerned, Everlane do some of the most well cut oversized tees. Soft, slouchy, relaxed in all the right places. And hold up well too (though I’d personally recommend avoiding the “Air” line, which is quite delicate). The cotton feels lovely against the skin, and that’s half the equation for a t-shirt. The other half being the cut.

I do find that Everlane tees tend to run on the larger side so size down in their oversized styles if you want more of an intentional fit.

#8 | Everlane A-Line Denim Shorts

My holy grail of denim shorts; the a-line from Everlane. Nothing else quite compares in terms of the fit; snatched at the waist, and a lovely wide leg opening that doesn’t cut in when you sit down (also, appreciate that extra length through the leg too, shorts that aren’t too short!). I’ve owned these in multiple washes, though it’s this darker indigo along with the washed black that have reigned supreme. This particular cut is incredibly flattering; basically the shorts version of wearing an a-line skirt.

These are another one that do run large. I’ve tried the 26 previously and they gave me that “nappy” look so would recommend going down one size for that snatched fit at the waist (which doesn’t dig in).

#9 | Everlane Dream 90s Shift Dress

The final clothing item that I wanted to highlight is the dream mini dress; a carefree, easygoing style for every day. This is fairly simple in terms of design. A sculpted fit which is amplified by the darts – these really snatch in the waist – with an invisible zipper at the back. Mini style. Perhaps my only criticism is that as someone with a longer torso I feel like I get a little bit of bunching at the back, which makes me wonder whether this dress is designed more for girls who have a regular length torso, or petites.

The basic cut of the dress provides you with the perfect blank canvas for your outfit that is very easy to layer up and make feel more interesting. I tend to reach for this a lot in the summer time because it’s a throw on and go which makes me feel cute, even paired simply with summer sandals.

Fits true to size; I’m wearing the size S. If you are petite – maybe 5’2 – I think you could probably get away with wearing this to the office. At my height it is definitely too short for that but still a good casual option that can be dressed up for date night.

#10 | Everlane Day Gloves

And of course, we had to end on a high note. The Everlane Day Gloves. Which, it’s funny to me as I was hyper critical of these shoes when they launched around seven years ago. In part, I think because I wasn’t so sure the high vamp was really “me”. I’ve since come to appreciate this design detail, and actually, I prefer the Day Glove over their Day Ballet Flat (better leather, shape, feel on the foot etc).

The gum sole gives you that good grip/tread – means you don’t have to worry even when walking on slippery surfaces. Though they’re thin, which means that they’re flexible; the flipside being that there’s almost no support in the soles and I’d recommend looking elsewhere if that’s a dealbreaker for you.

The sizing on these can be a little tricky; I’m an EU40, and usually wear a US9.5 in Everlane shoes. I think this rule applies – sizing up a half size from your usual size in the brand – only if you have wide feet. For this style, I wear the US10. First impressions were that the leather was a little tight across the foot, but this gives fairly quickly as it’s quite a soft, supple leather that’ll mould to the shape of your foot. I can be quite fussy with shoes because I have wide feet and a bunion; I make a joke that I have not time for uncomfortable shoes – these are so good I’ve never had a blister from them.
