I am not at my most stylish—nor at my most concerned with being stylish—first thing in the morning when I walk the dogs, especially in the winter. But when I slip on these cashmere sweatpants I at least feel like I made a minimal effort, and maybe I even look that way too. It is also worth noting that I have owned these since Everlane introduced them, one, maybe two years ago, and they have yet to pill or otherwise show signs of wear, which is a rarity in the world of cheap cashmere (and expensive cashmere too, while we’re at it).
I like this silk cami better than ones I have that cost more because it’s double-lined to prevent sheerness. It’s also cut really simply and has so far worked nicely with everything I’ve layered it over.
I know some of you criticize the cut of certain Everlane items, and specifically their button-downs, as being too boxy, but I’m a big fan of their relaxed poplin shirts, which to me have the just-right amount of slouch.
I’m tempted by the cashmere joggers, but do you seriously take them to the cleaners? Or are you hand washing? (Sorry, looks like I originally posted this onto the wrong thread)
Any suggestions for pilling cashmere? I have a knee-length cardigan that I only got last year and the pills are terrible. Apparently my purse does a number on it.
I use a a disposable razor lightly across my cashmere. Use a gentle touch and it will take the pills off beautifully.
I have the $10 Evercare sweater shaver, bought it on Amazon, it works perfectly.
I have a sweater comb by The Laundress, but I they’re available at lower prices on Amazon and they probably work the same. It’s gentle so I never have to worry about accidentally putting a hole in my good sweaters.
What type of bra does everyone wear under this type of cami? I don’t have ginormous ones (anymore, breast reduction surgery was the best thing I ever did for myself) but I also do t want to *ahem* flap around.
I’m no bra expert, but the ones that work best for me under the cami are plunge-y or demi styles. But I also don’t care so much if a little bit of bra peeks out.
Hollywood Fashion Silicone Coverups. You can get them at any drugstore. They are reusable.
I have small breasts. These are perfect. They changed my life.
Note: if you’re somewhere extremely humid and are going to be outside for a long period of time, they may not stay on. I don’t know from experience or anything.
Personally I love the boxy Everlanes. Something for everyone!
Their relaxed silk button down is on my trifecta…as are the cashmere sweats…haven’t tried the cami yet it it looks like it will need an audition…
Everlane’s long sleeved pima cotton tees are perfect and sooooo soft. I also have an Everlane cashmere v-neck that is on heavy duty rotation and a couple of their silk short sleeved boxy shirt that make my summers lovely. All the Everlane tops I’ve purchased have been top-notch, but I can’t seem to find any of their bottoms that fit my body. And that’s ok.
I love all of my Everlane silk camis which have adjustable straps. The clean silk one shown here does not have adjustable straps which is a bummer.
I have five of the relaxed silk buttondowns in a variety of colors and they are my go to work uniform with jeans, boots, and a blazer. And nearly as many of the v-neck cashmere sweaters.
I also got the cashmere turtleneck dress for Christmas and I’m finding that I wear it all the time (mostly not as a dress but as a long cozy sweater with skinny jeans). But like c.w. above, I have never found their bottoms to fit right- which is fine, I’d just spend more money there.
The pants have never fit me right, but I have a cashmere v-neck that I love. I also have a boxy denim shirt that I have yet to find a way to style so that it’s flattering on me.
