Are you familiar with the brand Everlane?
I’m always on the hunt to find a good basic (read: plain) clothing that can work with my wardrobe for any occasion. I came across the brand Everlane from reading some style blogs. I’m a huge t-shirt fan and my style is very casual. I don’t like to get too dressed up. Nothing spells classic like a perfect white tee to me. Besides everyday life, basics are very good for travel. You can always dress up shirts and look more pulled together with a blazer or a jacket or even a scarf. I always pack a handful of tees when I travel. I always pack black and white shirts and if I’ve got other colours, then I’ll pack those too.
Everlane is a basics brand label based in San Francisco that only sells online. They cut out the middleman and this makes their clothing and accessories more affordable. I used to buy James Perse shirts. They are amazing, last forever but then again cost $50. I bought a black James Perse v-neck on my RTW trip. That’s 19 months of wearing the same black v-neck week in and week out. I’m serious. When you break down the cost, $50 isn’t much. But can I find a shirt or equivalent style that will cost less? So I decided to give Everlane a shot.
Here’s the U neck
So far, so good. I ordered the short sleeve sweatshirt, the slouchy pocket tee, a black u neck, a white v neck. I’ll tell you how the others go. I’ll tell you how they go but if you want to order them and try them out too, here’s a link for a discount off your first purchase.

HELPFUL GENERAL TRAVEL TIPS
- Flights: Find a cheap flight using Skyscanner or Momondo. I like these two booking sites because they both search all websites and airlines around the globe including budget airlines.
- Accommodations: I use Booking.com or Tripadvisor to find the best rates on hotels. Hotels.com offers a free night after booking 10 nights.
- Get up to $40 off your first Air Bnb stay by using this code!
- Travel Insurance: Having gotten sick on my travels in the past, I never travel without being insured. You never know when something may happen. For my round the world trip and extended long-term travel, I use World Nomads. For other trips, I have used Roam Right and they cover activities like extreme sports.
Hi,
I’m about to order the U-neck tee myself and was wondering if I’d be a size S or M in this top. I’m usually somewhere in
between, a Medium Petite or 8 Petite to be exact. 34D bust, short
torso, 27-28″ waist. I worry the size small might be too tight in the
chest/waist areas, but I don’t want the medium to be too long in the
front or back, or too low cut. What size did you get (in the pictures shown above)? Was hoping to gage my decision based on others’ sizes they got and how it fits relatively.
Thanks!

Hey Sarah!! I started out with a medium U neck because I love loose tees but have just ordered another and bought the small instead. I’m about 5’1″ with short torso and B bust. I always find shirts shrink up but this shirt is not one of those long tees at all. Hope that helps!!
