Editor Try-On and Review: Everlane Summer Collection

Confession: Until this year, I’d never shopped at Everlane or even stepped foot into one of its stores. I’d always heard it was known for creating elevated wardrobe basics, but something never quite drew me in—until I was invited to the SoHo boutique for a sneak peek of its summer collection.

Curious to see what shoppers could expect for the upcoming warm-weather season, I browsed through the racks of Everlane’s latest offerings: everyday denim, easy one-and-done dresses, breezy skirts, versatile button-down blouses, and trendy Bermuda shorts. I couldn’t help but touch each piece, and with every item, I grew more excited about the upcoming launch. Each item felt classic, timeless, and effortlessly chic—something rare for one collection to check off all those boxes at once. But of course, the real test would be how they fit and flatter.

Thankfully, I had the chance to select a few pieces and have them sent home so I could try them on and give my honest review. I’m not going to spoil it all just yet, but I will say that I’d recommend these finds to anyone, whether it's my friends, aunts, mom, or, honestly, anyone with a pulse. No matter your age or style, these new arrivals are a perfect fit. So whether you're new to the brand or a loyal fan needing a seasonal refresh, keep reading to see and shop my top summer picks from Everlane’s latest collection.

The Must-Have Shirt in Linen

My Review: If you know me, you'll know that button-down shirts make up about 75% of my wardrobe. I find them incredibly versatile because they can be styled in many ways—left open over a tank top or dress, buttoned up and worn alone with shorts, or buttoned and tucked into jeans with a belt.

I couldn't resist trying Everlane's linen version, especially since its linen shop is always so popular and often out of stock. My thoughts? I'm a big fan, to say the least. I've had it for less than two weeks and have already worn it four times. It has an oversize fit that's comfortable without being too boxy or overwhelming, and the length is just right for a petite person like me, hitting at my upper thigh.

The Super-Soft Relaxed Jean

My Review: There's a reason these jeans are called The Super-Soft Relaxed Jeans. They're incredibly soft, feeling like butter on my skin. But that's not the only reason I've added them to my rotation. I also love how they balance a slim fit with a relaxed feel, meaning they are tailored through the legs but roomy in the upper thighs and waist. While they run a bit large, I’d recommend sticking to your regular size so you can wear them low-waisted.

Sizing Tip: If in between sizes, size up one

Shop the look:

Gauze Puff-Sleeve Top

My Review: I'm usually not the type to go for puff-sleeve blouses, but something about this style really caught my eye. And honestly, I have a pretty good sense for fashion, so I followed my instincts, and it turned out to be a great choice. The Gauze Puff-Sleeve Top hugs all the right spots and is made from lightweight organic cotton gauze that drapes beautifully. The blouson hem gives it a flattering fit at the hips, preventing it from looking too bulky. I tried it on with white and blue jeans, but I think it looks best paired with the matching Gauze Tiered Skirt.

The Gauze Open-Back Dress

My Review: Having a drop-waist smocked dress in your summer wardrobe should be a must because when you're in a style rut, it's an easy piece to toss on without worry. The smocked detailing smooths the midriff, creating a flattering fit, while the open back with adjustable ties lets you show some skin and stay cool in hot weather. Plus, it’s available in four colors: white, brown, black, and a muted orange—all versatile neutral shades.

The Gauze Tiered Skirt

My Review: If I had to pick favorites, it would be the Gauze Tiered Skirt. It's the kind of piece that makes me feel pretty and feminine. It's made from the same light, airy gauze fabric as the puff-sleeve top and features tiered detailing for added shape and movement. Besides styling it with the matching blouse, I can see myself pairing it with a bikini, tube top, or fitted sweater.

The OG Baggy Jean Shorts

My Review: Last but not least are Everlane's OG Baggy Jean Shorts, known as the “OG” for being tried and true and a best seller—and for good reason. These are mid-rise shorts that hit just above the knee, a definite plus since Bermuda shorts tend to be longer than usual. Additionally, the relaxed fit and frayed hem create that stylish “off-duty model” look I always seek.

Sizing Tip: Runs large—size down one
