I’ve been slowly filling the shelves of my closet with Everlane – a brand which resonates which me on both an aesthetic and moral level. By nature, I’m a creature of habit; when I find something I like, I tend to stick with it. So today I wanted to share an updated Everlane review.

When you scratch the surface, it’s kind of  hard not to like Everlane. They’re basics driven, utterly and completely transparent, and the quality is almost always on point. It’s this simple combination that has had me going back again and again, to scoop up a new launch or a repeat of an old favorite. So get ready, you are going to love these pieces.

Everlane’s Latest ReNew Fleece

In case you missed the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s sobering report that dropped earlier this month, the gist of it was that decades of pumping harmful emissions into the atmosphere has serious consequences. Solving a global crisis that threatens the human race isn’t going to be solved quickly or easily, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to be done. Direct-to-consumer darling Everlane wants to be part of a solution. The company is announcing a plan to eliminate all virgin (or newly-manufactured) plastic from its supply chain by 2021.

In the past 60 years, more than 8 billion tons of plastic have been fabricated—and it’s here to stay. “We knew we needed to take responsibility and say no to creating more plastic, and renew what’s already here. It wasn’t easy, but we believe we have a responsibility to improve the environment.

Functionally, Everlane is going to accomplish its ambitious goal by redeveloping the yarns, fabrics, and raw materials containing virgin synthetic fibers that it uses into versions that feature recycled components instead. The effort that kicks off with the on October 24 launch of ReNew, a capsule of fall-ready outerwear and layers crafted from materials created out of 3 million recycled plastic bottles. (Specifically: a puffer jacket that uses 16 recycled bottles, a fleece sweatshirt that renews 35 plastic bottles, a zip fleece that uses 41 and two parkas, long and short, that are composed of 60 and 55 plastic bottles respectively) You wouldn’t know it, though, looking at the pieces—and that’s the point. A ReNew nylon anorak or polyester fleece zip doesn’t announce itself as anything other than one of Everlane’s familiar offerings, but the customer can feel a hell of a lot better about buying it. It’s all sounds simple enough on paper—just swap out new plastic for recycled plastic—but in practice required a massive operational and production overhaul for the brand.

Everlane Cashmere Sweater

I couldn’t do an Everlane review and not mention their cashmere sweater. It’s hands down the best purchase I’ve made from Everlane so far. The quality is unparalleled for the price. The cashmere feels incredibly soft to the touch and the wear and tear are negligible  do expect some minor pilling after the first few wears but this can easily be removed by a fabric shaver. Personally, I tend to opt for my usual size but it is a slightly loose fit, so if you want something closer cut to the body, I’d recommend sizing down – so if you’re typically  small, grab the extra-small and so on. The style is a loose fit through the body with slim fitting sleeves.

I’m currently eying up their new  dresses, which look right up my street for Spring, and I’d also love to get my hands on more than a few things currently in their ‘coming soon’ section. I hope that you’ve found this Everlane review helpful, and if there’s anything else that you think is worth a second look, please do let me know in the comments below!
