Over the weekend, Puckreported that Shein has acquired Everlane — a perplexing union to say the least, considering Everlane’s brand ethos of sustainability and transparency appears to be at odds with the fast-fashion giant’s negative environmental impact and questionable labor practices. So it makes sense that the news has sent Everlane loyalists into a bit of a tailspin about what fate will befall their beloved cashmere sweaters and organic cotton button-downs. Shein’s plans for the brand are unclear at the moment, but either way, it’s probably not a bad idea to stock up on some Everlane staples before the ink dries on the paperwork. Below, everything from the brand that we’ve recommended over the years.

The boxy cut of this white button-down gives it a relaxed and casual feel, says Strategist writer Ambar Pardilla. “Plus, there are little details that make the shirt special: the dropped shoulder seams, double pockets in the front, and the tulip-petal-shaped cuts on the side,” she adds.

Senior writer Emma Wartzman is currently on her fourth pair of Court sneakers since first trying them in 2021. “Crucially, I’ve walked all around the city with them from noon ’til night and never had any issue,” she says.

Despite having no stretch, this denim jacket is incredibly comfortable, Goertzen says. “I love wearing it fully buttoned up, almost like a denim top, with similar indigo-wash jeans or trousers,” she says.

Wartzman describes this black turtleneck as “tight enough that it doesn’t bunch up underneath things but not, like, Uniqlo Heattech tight.”

Everlane The Essential Organic Crew
“I wear them all the time,” writer Rumaan Alam told us of Everlane’s organic cotton tee, of which he owns 12 (all in black). “They’re not close-fitting in a way that a feminine shirt would be, but they’re not baggy in the way that an athletic-y shirt might be.”
