Anyone who has shopped at a retailer with few physical storefronts to browse knows it can be hard to figure out where to begin. There are dozens of options that all seem as worthy as the next, but the reality is that products from any given brand are not all created equal. When you shop as regularly as we do, you learn that many brands just do some things better than they do other things. Everlane, we’ve found, is one of those brands: Its vast inventory of subdued, just-stretchy-enough basics made from a wide range of materials (Washable silk! Supima cotton!) requires careful combing to find standouts like durable ballet flats that elevate every outfit and crewneck T-shirts worth buying in bulk. To help you decide which staples to add to your cart, we’ve rounded up all the Everlane stuff our writers and editors — as well as style coaches, fashion designers, and other people with good taste — have recommended on the Strategist.
Update on July 1, 2025
We scoured our archives for all of the new products that we’ve recommended from Everlane since last year, including a Breton boatneck and a denim chore coat. I also removed some of our old favorites that Everlane no longer carries.
For women

This box-cut tee has secured the approval of editors and influencers alike. In fact, we named it the best affordable women’s black T-shirt for its ability to fit a variety of body types, including petites and those with larger busts. Strategist writer Ambar Pardilla praises the just-right fit, which “hits my shoulders without the dreaded drooping, and the length just skims the top of my jeans.” She has it in almost every color and says the shirts “wash so well with no shrinking or saturation loss at all.”

If you prefer a lower neckline, try what we call the scoop-necked version of the box-cut tee above. (It’s also our favorite scoop-neck black T-shirt.) The scoop-neck “shows some tasteful collarbone and skin across the chest” without being too revealing, according to Strategist writer Brenley Goertzen. It’s another staple in Pardilla’s wardrobe because it doesn’t cling but is still figure-hugging. This is largely thanks to Everlane’s lightweight cotton that Goertzen says is “breathable and smooth and drapes perfectly, whether you wear it tucked or untucked.”

The lightweight cotton Air Cami is another standout, according to Strategist contributor Robin Reetz, who promises the neckline suits all body types. “I’ve got a smaller frame with a larger bust, but I’ve seen it on friends with various chest sizes, and although the fit of course varies, it always looks flattering.”

Our final favorite from the Air line: The one that won the Best in Class blue ribbon for long-sleeved tees. While it’s lightweight enough “that you’re not overheated when the radiator’s on or sweating through a False Spring day,” Pardilla writes, it’s not sheer in the slightest. Available in sizes XXS to XXL, the tee comes in one of the bigger size ranges here, as well.

Everlane’s striped boatneck also comes recommended by Pardilla, who says it’s “not formfitting in the slightest but not formless, either.” Compared to the Air line above, the Mariner tee is thicker, heavier, and striped (it’s available in no less than six color combinations, including classic black and white and a very Breton blue and white).

For a tank with a little texture, try this smocked number, made dressier by some dainty straps. “Smocking makes clothes at once expandable and fitted — resulting in something that’s both comfortable and flattering,” Goertzen says.

There’s a dress version, too — it’s elegant and breezy, making it a good contender for dinner parties and pool parties alike.

Another one of Reetz’s favorite Everlane tops is this crewneck tee that has some texture in the form of subtle ribbing. She adds that it has “a good boxy fit, which the brand does well.”

Elizabeth DuBois, a strategic account manager at Justworks and a devout Everlane shopper, loves the brand’s long-sleeved Supima tees and owns them in black, gray, and white. Even with their long sleeves, she says they’re versatile enough to wear year-round. Dr. Becky Kennedy (who counts them among the items she can’t live without) agrees: “I feel like they help me really cut down on clothing decisions, which is what I like in the morning. I can just grab one and I’m done.”

While this classic turtleneck comes in six basic colors, we named it the best ribbed black turtleneck because of its many accolades, including the fit: It’s “tight enough that it doesn’t bunch up underneath things” if you layer it, says Strategist writer Emma Wartzman, but it’s “not, like, Uniqlo Heattech–tight.” Stylist Kim Hancher echoes this, saying, “It’s so soft that it feels like a second skin.” And most importantly, she notes, the neck actually stays up throughout the day. “I buy one each season, just because I know I’ll get so much use out of them,” says Gabrielle Arruda, a Project Runway alum.

Former Strategist audience development manager Mia Leimkuhler knows a thing or two about staying warm in the winter, given that she’s based in Montreal, and told us that “when the temperature drops, I practically live in my Oversized Alpaca Crew sweater.” (She’s one of several Strategist staffers who own it.) Leimkuhler adds, “It’s lightweight but still really warm, and the slightly fluffy texture reminds me of the angora sweaters my mom used to wear.” We’ve since named it the best pullover sweater for women.

If you’re in the market for a new oxford, look at Everlane; it’s the brand we heard about the most while searching for the best white button-down shirts for women. Pardilla describes this boxy button-down as a happy medium between the Relaxed shirt and the Way-Short shirts below, making it the best affordable white button-down in our books. Where it really shines is in its details: bold patch pockets, dropped shoulders, and a curved hem that’s cut out on the sides. “I’m fond of the boxiness — it billows out as opposed to following curves,” she writes. “So the silhouette is square-ish, not exactly oversize but definitely not fitted.”

This relaxed option is another favorite because its quality is top of the line for the price. Christiana Greene, owner of Bum-Cake Vintage, wears it in a multitude of ways, including unbuttoned over lingerie and with high-waisted jeans. She recommends buying it in your usual size for an oversize fit that doesn’t get in the way, making it ideal for women with bigger busts.

There’s also this cropped twist on the classic button-down, which comes recommended by Hailey Rizzo, founder of fashion blog Feeling Good As Hail. She describes the polished button-down as “cropped but not too cropped” and versatile enough to be worn buttoned completely or not buttoned at all. Rizzo notes that the cut complements her petite frame (Rizzo is five-foot-three), and as a bonus, it reminds her of Princess Diana’s off-duty style.

This boxy linen top stays at the front of Sokolov’s closet. She says it’s one of three button-downs she owns that doesn’t gap in the front, thanks to its “perfectly boxy cut,” making it one of our favorite button-downs for women with bigger busts. While it’s ideal for the warm summer months, the top also works in the spring and fall, “especially as we always have those sneaky warm September days,” Sokolov says.

This traditional-looking trench coat is an ideal layer for unpredictable weather days, as it stays warm enough “without overheating or being too cold,” according to digital creator Carrie Carrollo. “Some trenches can feel heavy, especially vintage ones, and this is pretty weightless to wear and super easy to sling over my arm,” she says. If you’re planning to layer the coat with your favorite sweater, Carrollo recommends sizing up.

“Silk is probably what Everlane does best,” says Reetz, who has shopped the brand for years and named this silk shirt one of her top picks, noting that it’s held up beautifully for more than three years of wear. Her fellow Strategist contributor Linsday Weber is another fan, calling it “the Perfect Shirt” (caps hers) because it always elicits compliments when she wears it and looks good on “all bodies I’ve seen it on.” Social Goods’ co-founder Kate Sokolov says this is especially true for women with bigger busts because the boxier top “fits well without being too oversized.”

When Strategist senior editor Hilary Reid tested this washable silk shirt to see how it holds up after some wear and washes, her TL;DR was that “Durable is an accurate word.” Reid actually compared the material to flannel: “It’s thick, hangs in a slightly heavy way on the body, and was actually kind of cozy, which is not a term I would usually associate with a silk blouse,” she wrote, adding that the look is “reminiscent of Equipment’s cult-y silk shirt,” with its practical, clean-cut design. And though it came out of the wash a little stiff — “the matte silk had almost a sporty nylon feeling to it” — the stiffness “actually made the shirt look crisp and not wrinkled.”

Complete with a cord collar and patch pockets, the brand’s chore-coat-style denim jacket made our list of the very best jean jackets for its comfort and high-quality, 100 percent cotton material. “I wore it to a nice dinner with family while visiting Chicago, as well as to a few NHL hockey games, where it kept me plenty warm in the arena,” reports Goertzen.

A longtime staple in Everlane’s denim arsenal, the ’90s Cheeky style is Strategist managing editor Kelsie Schrader’s favorite pair of jeans. “They’re nice, casual straight-leg jeans that look good with just about every shirt and shoe I own, and they fit me really well,” she says. Even though she’s been wearing them multiple times a week for a few years now, she says “they’ve stayed perfectly rigid.” Leimkuhler echoes her sentiment, calling them “sturdy and rigid” thanks to the jeans’ stiff cotton.

If you prefer jeans with a bit more stretch, try these. They’re filmmaker Emily May Jampel’s favorite pair and have two percent elastane. “I can just roll out of bed and throw them on with basically anything in my closet,” she says.

Everlane’s take on the barrel-leg jean comes recommended by artist Scott Csoke, who says they have “an interesting, slimming shape.” And like the regular Way-Highs above, they say, “You don’t have to worry about them stretching out since they’re already wide-leg.”

Everlane’s Dream Pants are everything you’d, well, dream of in a work-appropriate pair of black pants: comfortable, wrinkle-resistant, and pull-on (but not in an obvious way). “They look like slacks (thanks to pin-tucking on the front), while delivering on the brand’s promise of a ‘sweatpant feel,’” Pardilla says. They’re our favorite pull-on black work pants, too.

The retailer offers a Strategist-approved pair of linen pants, too. “They’re breathable, versatile (I’ve worn them with tees and more dressed up with blouses), and soft right out of the box,” says Strategist writer Arielle Avila, who bought a pair earlier this year. While the pants have a barrel leg, she says, the “shape is just enough to add some structure without being balloonlike.”

When Strategist writer Tembe Denton-Hurst became a gym rat, Everlane’s performance pieces became integral to her routine. “If I had to rate my leggings by what I’m most excited to see come out of the wash, these would be at the top of my list,” she writes of the Perform Leggings, adding that they are now her standard-bearer for all other leggings. The pair is made from a blend of recycled nylon and stretchy elastane and “suck you in just the right amount,” which Denton-Hurst says gives you “a tiny-looking waist and a plump butt — a win-win.”

Denton-Hurst also has these bike shorts in her gym wardrobe. “I have thick thighs, so anything too short will cut me off in a weird place and give me that sausage-leg effect,” she writes, but the eight-inch inseam on these shorts ensures that her legs never call any breakfast meats to mind.

Everlane’s undergarments first caught our attention when they launched in 2018. Since then, we’ve named this tank bra one of our favorite unstructured wireless bras. Former Strategist writer Lori Keong tested it and appreciated how substantial it feels because it has two layers of fabric, adding, “I have a feeling it would look very cute peeking out from underneath a workout top.”

Keong is also a fan of the brand’s bikini underwear, which she says is “reliably wedgie-free” and “made for wearing every day.”

We also recommend the retailer’s high-rise hipster for its modest fit and minimalist look that rises to your belly button without any bunching or squeezing. It’s our favorite hipster underwear and “makes your butt look like it’s starring in its own ’90s Calvin Klein commercial.”

If you’re looking for an ankle boot on a budget, check out Everlane’s Day Boot, which we named the best affordable block-heeled ankle boot. Pardilla says these “were easy to pull on and there was enough room for my toes to wiggle without rubbing against the lining.” She reports the two-inch block heel is “comfortable enough that I never felt like I might stumble.”

Stylist Christel Langué is a fan of this stretchy and “chic” pair of ankle boots. Thanks to the lowish heel, she says they’re good for a “pain-free” day of walking. Blogger and TikToker Nana Castro is also a fan of the boot, as well as Everlane’s sustainability efforts. “These are made from renewable plastic bottles; you’d never know from the knit look,” she adds.

Everlane’s reasonably priced ballet flats come recommended by Hancher, who immediately liked them for their simplicity and slightly squared, sculptural toe. She says the dainty ballet flats will need to be broken in, but after that, they’re plenty supportive and will elevate even your old jeans and a T-shirt. They’re some of our favorite ballet flats under $150.

Since bows aren’t for everyone, there’s also this understated Italian leather pair sans any embellishment. Maisonette co-founder Sylvana Ward Durrett recommends the style for its coverage of toe cleavage and durability. In fact, she shared that when she worked in one of Everlane’s stores, customers would stop by just for this top seller.

“I wear them all the time,” writer Rumaan Alam told us of Everlane’s organic cotton tee, of which he owns 12 (all in black). “They’re not close-fitting in a way that a feminine shirt would be, but they’re not baggy in the way that an athletic-y shirt might be. Part of what’s key is that they don’t go down too long — I’m short and these land just below the waist.”

When Strategist contributor Leon Hedgepeth found himself compulsively shopping for long-sleeved black tees, he counted this one from Everlane as one of the sleeker options. “The raglan seams are sewn to look almost invisible and allow the shirt to sit smoothly around the shoulders, and the ribbed wrists are tight but not enough to get stuck midway down your forearms,” he adds.

If you need a gift for a do-gooder guy in your life, consider this tee we featured on our list of gifts that give back. It’s made from the same cotton as Everlane’s beloved crews, and 10 percent of its profits are donated to the ACLU.

According to former Strategist writer Louis Cheslaw, “these stretch-denim jeans from Everlane (which size up to a 40L) might just be the most comfortable I’ve ever owned.” He adds that the jeans have way more give in the hip and thigh than classics like Levi’s 501s “because they were designed to be intentionally roomier in those areas to accommodate the bodies of muscular athletes (and, apparently, less-muscular writers).”

Tim Melidio of menswear site Stay Classic says “the price is right” on this pair of straight-leg jeans made with Japanese denim that contains 2 percent elastane for a bit of stretch. “My friends swear by Everlane denim,” he adds.
