The Perfect Tee

Everlane u neck tee

Lately all I ever want to wear is my Everlane U-Neck tee. I know it sounds strange, but when I look into my closet everything else feels annoyingly fussy, unflattering, and hard to style. Does this mean that I’ve adopted a super-chic, minimalist, city-girl style? Or that I’ve given up a la a soccer mom living in sweats? Place your vote in the comments.
All kidding aside, I think it’s due in large part to the fact that I wear scrubs every day and have completely forgotten how to dress myself. Style is like a muscle, and mine is sorely underused…I just want to buy ten Everlane tees and wear them every time I go out. I mean hey, as long as I pair my tee with skinny jeans, cute flats, and a great bag, I should be good to go, right?
The U-Neck tee really is the best t-shirt in the world, I have to say. I’ve got it in white and black and I’ve found myself reaching for the black most often. The u-neck shows just the perfect amount of skin and I find it more flattering than a v-neck. The fabric is not see-through (even on the white), yet it’s still lightweight. The best thing about it though, is the fit. Whereas most t-shirts are a little clingy at the bottom, this one is somewhat loose at the bottom, and I’ve found that this makes all the difference in getting that slouchy, flattering, slightly unkempt look. I used to think J. Crew’s vintage cotton tees were best, but they’ve now been ousted by the Everlane U-Neck. My hope is that they’ll put out a charcoal gray version, but in the meantime I might have to spring for the navy. Oh and did I mention that the thing costs SIXTEEN DOLLARS? That’s what a tee shirt should cost! Not $40 and not $100. Thank you, Everlane!

  2. I've heard such great things about Everlane tees. I love when tees are slightly more fitted at the top and then flow AWAY from any love handles, so I need to get one for myself! For sixteen dollars, WHY NOT?!

  4. Ah, thank you for posting about Everlane tees! I've been admiring their tees for awhile now but haven't bought one yet. I love the "slouchy pocket tee" as well. May I ask what size you ordered? I can't decide if I should order a small or medium.

    • Hey Jen! I got a medium, which is my usual size in tops. They don't shrink in the dryer either, which is great. Hope that helps!

  5. Everlane has become my FAVORITE! I got the U neck a couple of months ago and I end up washing it every time I do laundry because I can't seem to take it off. Neeeeeed more, ASAP!

  6. A well cut tee does not mean you're a soccer mom!

  8. I love a colorful, fun top, but I agree, I have been gravitating to plain blouses, sweaters, and tees. I haven't tried Everlane, but I keep meaning to! Are the U-tees a tighter or looser fit? I love the slate color!
