Everlane Lately: Wearing + Wanting

It’s no secret I have a long-standing affinity for Everlane. I bought my first t-shirt from them 5 years ago, back when they offered only a handful of items (you can read my ancient review here). Currently, their line is expansive, and I have been fortunate to add many of their offerings to my closet. Today I’m kicking off a brand new, semi-regular series where I check in on the ‘Everlane’ portion of my closet. The goal, is to discuss:

1 // Which pieces are serving me well right now.
2 // What I’ve recently added.
3 // My thoughts on new arrivals/coming soon items.

My hope is that by sharing my experiences and outfits, you can envision which pieces might work well for you and how they would work with what’s currently in your closet. Let’s get to the clothes, shall we?

CURRENTLY WEARING:

This winter I’ve been wearing my ReNew Puffer AND my Cocoon Coat on regular rotation. One of the main reasons — the oversized fit. I can wear them over ANY of my chunky sweaters, no matter how dolman the sleeve. And I can do so comfortably. There’s nothing worse than feeling like a winter sausage when trying to stay warm.

The puffer is thick and heavy, and rain resistant, so I tend to wear that on the cold and rainy days. On dry days, I wear my cocoon coat over thick sweaters.

The Cocoon Coat has been a bit of a unicorn for me. I have purchased it in THREE (!!) colors before finally landing on a color and size that works for me. I bought it in light gray last year and never wore it. It felt too ‘serious’ and hipster-ish (if that’s even possible) for my lifestyle. This fall, I bought it in the new shade of Peat, in a size down, and that was the winning combination. The smaller size and dark, warm color were exactly what I needed to make this coat work for me. I feel less dressy, less hipster-ish and infinitely more me. I have worn this coat multiple times per week since I bought it. It looks great with a pullover sweater and sneakers.

The Cashmere Round Rib Crew has been at the top of my sweater rotation lately because it’s: 1) ivory (fav color family), 2) soft, 3) drapey, and 4) warm. It’s everything for me in a sweater! My family is probably tired of seeing me in it all the time. The fit of this is just so good. (You can see another view here.) I’ve also been wearing my Alpaca Crew Sweaters quite a bit. The fit is similar, and the texture is a bit fuzzier.

And guess what I’m constantly wearing, that you rarely see? Everlane’s Pima Mico Rib Scoop Tees, which I own in three colors. They’re perfect for layering under sweaters to keep yourself warm, and the sweaters clean. The scoop works well because it doesn’t peek out. They can also be worn alone, and look very cute tucked into high-waisted jeans.

RECENTLY ADDED:

I’m probably the last person on the Internet to jump on board with the Day Boots, but sometimes that’s my approach to wildly popular items. I like to sit back, and observe a bit before I decide to partake. After a winter of being unable to shake this ecru color from my mind, I decided to try out the Day Boots in Ecru, and I love them. I had previously got them in black, and they are super chic. But something about the ecru makes them a lot more wearable in my day-to-day life.

As my love for non-skinny pants increases, so does my need for fitted tops. I recently added the Soft Cotton Sweater (not pictured) because it’s the perfect (warm) top to wear with all my wide leg pants. I have it in Bone, and my favorite feature (besides the fit) is that it’s machine washable!

The 90’s Cheeky Jeans quickly caught my attention when I saw that it had a button fly and a 90210-memory-jogging wash. I shared about these on Instagram the other day and was met with a flurry of questions. I’ll try my best to distill all my Cheeky-loving knowledge into one smart paragraph for you.

The 90’s Cheeky is made from cotton denim (instead of stretch denim like the original Cheeky’s), it features a button fly, and the washes harken back to their namesake 1990’s. For these reasons I really like them. I took them in size 27, just like my other Cheeky’s (which is a size down). The cotton has softened and relaxed, just a bit, with wear. They are comfortable to sit in and look really good with white shirts.

NEW ARRIVALS + COMING SOON ITEMS:

Everybody has been talking about the Rain Boots. I think they look cute, even in their chunky state, and I really like the idea of rain boots that aren’t black. I bought myself a pair of the boots in Chestnut, but they were too big. I sized down to a 9, and they’re due on my porch this week. I’ll keep you posted.

The Shrunken Shirt caught my eye on the Coming Soon page because of that lovely olive-y shade. Will be ordering one of these on Thursday!
