Everlane Review The Cashmere Sweatshirt

Hi guys and another Everlane cashmere sweater review for you today, or more accurately it's a sweatshirt I guess.  When I tried Everlane's waffled cashmere (review here), which is still my favorite, I saw they had this sweatshirt available (I think as part of their cashmere lounge wear collection) and I ordered while I was still in a haze of Everlane cashmere love.  And well unfortunately it's nothing like the waffled cashmere sweater and I'm not in love at all with this one.  And the majority of you guys agreed:

Thanks to everyone who voted.  I love asking you guys on Insta-stories what you think of all the things I try.  It's like getting a second opinion from a trusted friend.

Anyway I returned this cashmere sweatshirt because not only was it an unflattering fit (as most sweatshirts are) but the collar was super tight and even though this is made of cashmere, it gave me a slight itchiness around the neck (I just looked and it's because the trimmings are 9% nylon and 1% elastane along with cashmere).  I did find that if I rolled the bottom hem under, it did make the sweatshirt look a tad more flattering.  But for $150, your money is better spent on their regular cashmere sweater or for $5 more get the waffled one.

As for sizing, I got this in my usual Everlane size of small.

So anyways, unless you're really going to spend big bucks lounging in cashmere, I would advise to pass on this sweatshirt.  Also I've tried cashmere sweatpants before (from Grana) and found that it's just too hot to wear that indoors and pretty impractical to wear outdoors (especially if it's rainy or windy).  

Have any of you guys tried cashmere loungewear and what did you think?

Oh and happy Thanksgiving (to my fellow Americans).  I am so grateful for all you guys who support me with your comments, questions, and purchases through the blog!  Thank you thank you thank you!

Everlane Cashmere Crop Square Mockneck Review

I already mentioned these pants when I talked about my search for a dupe of Elizabeth Suzann's Georgia Tee to work around my shopping ban.  And so you already know that I ended up returning them.  But mostly because I already have a gray cashmere sweater from Everlane (their regular one) and I already have a gray mockneck sweater from Grana.  To tell you the truth I'm still a little iffy about this square mockneck from Everlane.  Some days I like the look (and want to repurchase it in a different color, maybe light pink), but other days I'm just eh about it.  What do you think?  Styled with the Everlane streth ponte pants (reviewed here) on the left and Grana silk ankle pants (reviewed here) on the right.

I ordered it in a small, my usual size at Everlane (I'm 5'4", size 4).  The cashmere from Everlane is smooth and awesome as usual.  I do love that the mockneck is not too tight and fits my thick neck.  The crop top works best with mid-rise to high-rise pants but I wouldn't say it's overly cropped.  Hmmm I really don't know.  What do you think?  Is it worth repurchasing?

Everlane Review Cashmere Sweatpants

You know how much I love Everlane cashmere (review here) so I was interested in trying out their cashmere sweatpants even though I've returned every single pants I've ever tried from Everlane (seriously, every single one).  And well, here's just another pair of pants I've returned to Everlane.  Guess Everlane and I just don't work when it comes to pants.

Well first I made the mistake of ordering a medium instead of a small.  I usually size up on pants because I'm just bigger on the bottom (usually a size 6, while I'm size 4 on top).  But really I should have ordered these in a small because I'm just swimming in the medium.  But even if I had ordered the right size I just don't think these pants are right for me.  They're basically just really expensive but comfy pajama bottoms.  There's no shape to them and since I don't have much of a butt, not flattering at all.  They're held up with drawstrings also made of cashmere knit (so I can see them stretching out with continued use).  For $140, I think I would do better with their $100 cashmere crew and a tee.

At this point I think I'm just going to give up Everlane pants.  They're just not made for my body.  Anyway you can find all my other Everlane reviews here and Everlane items here.
