Ask any fashion editor or stylist what they look for when they shop, and you’ll probably hear the same keywords: “classic,” “timeless,” “flattering,” “versatile,” and of course, chicBut finding a brand that ticks all these boxes at once is rare. Sure, we have our favorite designer brands like Toteme, The Row, Khaite, and TOVE that stock sophisticated pieces that are sure to draw compliments, but if you’re working with a four-figure budget, your options can be limited—unless you’re a full-fledged member of the Everlane fan club. Let me continue.
If you’re already familiar with Everlane, you’ll probably love it. As the brand doesn’t have any stores in the UK, it doesn’t often get mentioned when talking about the best affordable minimalist brands, but it does offer a ton of timeless staples that can be worn all year round. The items we need the most help with are often the simplest ones – think the perfect white t-shirt, the perfect jeans and the perfect comfortable flats. And this is exactly where Everlane (thankfully) excels.
Take one part COS, a dash of American vintage, a smattering of GAP, and add in a generous amount of Filippa K or By Malene Birger, and you’ve got a pretty good idea of the Everlane aesthetic: equal parts comfy casual, laid-back luxury, and high-low style, all wrapped up in one effortless package. And did we mention it’s got a celebrity following, too? In fact, we’ve lost count of how many times Katie Holmes has been paparazzi-spotted wearing the brand’s chic separates.
Cultivators aside, there are a few pieces I’d recommend to anyone looking for reliable pieces that can serve as the foundation of their wardrobe. And if, like me, you’re looking to cut back on haphazard purchases and focus on investment buys that you’ll wear for years to come, you’ve come to the right place. Ever since I discovered the idea that simple, no-frills outfits paired with designer accessories make a winning combination, I’ve stopped spending money on statement dresses and logo mania and now pair my Everlane tees and jeans with chic handbags.
