12 New Everlane Capsule Wardrobe Items for Spring

Everlane could teach a master class on a number of things when it comes to style, but above all, the brand excels at creating a cohesive vision with pieces that can be mixed and matched together in countless different ways. On the whole, it’s a one-stop shop for crafting the perfect capsule wardrobe. In fact, the brand has just made your seasonal shopping experience even easier with the release of its new collection, the Spring Edit 002.

A follow-up to the nautical, stripe-heavy 001 drop earlier last month, the newest collection is composed of timeless, ‘90s-inspired pieces that will all but build the best packing list for the season with sustainably made staples. Ready to dive in? Keep reading to find the 12 best wardrobe essentials from the collection, all easily styled together and practically tailor-made for your next trip, no matter the destination. 

The Modern Trench Coat

Trench coats seemingly never go out of style, so if you’re finally ready to grab one of your own this spring, Everlane’s Modern Trench Coat is the way to go. Admittedly an investment at $268, this high-quality piece is made from 100 percent organic cotton that’s durable, well-constructed, and surprisingly flattering. The traditional cut can make even your most casual airport outfit look like a thoughtfully-planned outfit. Plus, it comes with a matching belt for a more fitted, cinched finish. It even comes in four neutral shades, with sizes ranging from XXS to XXXL, and it’s assuredly the only coat you’re going to want to have packed for your spring travels.

The OG Baggy Shorts

It’s nearly time to break out your shorts for the season, and if you’re tired of wearing tight denim cutoffs, it may be time to snag Everlane’s loose and effortlessly cool OG Baggy Shorts. The longline cut falls just above the knee so you don’t have to worry about chafing while walking around all day, and the slouchy, breathable shape will keep you far more comfortable than a figure-hugging pair of jean shorts. They come in three different washes from light indigo to black, and just like other denim, they’ll go with any footwear you have packed for your next trip. 

The Lug Loafers

Classic, comfortable, and easy to style, a good pair of loafers will go a long way in any capsule wardrobe. Currently on sale for 25 percent off, this lugged sole pair is an edgier take on the traditional silhouette, but they still provide essential support so you can wear them during long sightseeing days without regretting your footwear choice. They’re made with a soft, 100 percent leather exterior that won’t fall apart with regular wear, and their three simple colorways pair effortlessly with the rest of the offerings from Everlane’s capsule collection. While the brown and black crocodile options are limited in sizing, the plain black pair is currently available in a full range from 5 to 11 (including half sizes). 

The Dream ‘90s Shift Dress

A simple shift dress is easily one of the most versatile, throw-on-and-go pieces you could include in your suitcase while traveling, and this stunning option from Everlane may be one of the most flattering picks we’ve found. The mod mini cinches in at the waist, and paired with a high neckline and a mid-thigh cut, it strikes the perfect balance between modest and revealing. Wear it with heels, sneakers, chunky loafers, or really any pair of shoes you have packed into your suitcase — any way you style it, this dress is the best base for building eye-catching outfits. 

The Selfie Cardigan

Spring is the best time to pack away your heavy coats and lean into the art of layering, and nothing makes this easier than the Selfie Cardigan. Boasting a dreamy, fitted silhouette and buttons down the front of the soft knit, this cardigan will carry you through anything from a long-haul flight to a day of shopping while staving off the early spring chill. The hip-length cut means it can be worn loose or tucked into your favorite pair of denim, while an organic cotton and elastane blend offers plenty of give so you don’t feel restricted by your garments. If you’ve been holding out for your perfect cardigan, this $55 option may be exactly what you’re looking for. Don’t be surprised if you’re tempted to snag it in all three available colors.

The Dream Capri

Capris are back in a big way this season, so jump in with two feet with this simple, fitted pair for under $100. The forgiving elastic waistband is the real highlight of these pants since they’re sure to be comfortable and breathable for whatever you have on the agenda. However, the cotton, modal, and elastane blend also adds stretch to these Parisian-style pants, while the cropped cut looks darling with anything from kitten heels to sneakers. Style these pants with an oversized button down, fitted tank, or flowy blouse. No matter what, your outfit is sure to stand out. They’re even lightweight enough to wear well into the summer, so the styling options are endless.

The Luxe Rib Long-sleeve Crew

High-quality basics are always worth investing in, especially if you’re aiming to build a packable capsule wardrobe complete with pieces you don’t have to regularly replace. This white long-sleeve top may be simple, but it’s guaranteed to become your new favorite base since it’s made from a soft and stretchy cotton blend that’s gentle against the skin and not paper-thin. The snug fit and crewneck cut make this top easy to layer under your favorite sweaters, but it’s also so flattering you’ll be happy to wear it on its own. Every closet should have a plain white tee at the ready, but if you’re looking for a pop of color, this piece is also available in 11 other gorgeous shades and patterns.

The Dream Maxi Skirt

A solid-colored maxi skirt has endless styling potential while still offering ample coverage, so this fitted, high-rise option with an elastic waistband will be an asset for all your upcoming travels this season. Wear it out to dinner, while sightseeing, or even during shorter flights, but you’ll always find it to be comfortable and forgiving. The fabric is lightly stretchy but will still retain its shape even after regular wear. Since it’s so easy to dress up or down, it’s one of the only bottoms you’ll need to pack in your suitcase. Already having earned a 4.7-star rating on the site, it’s available in deep taupe and black, with sizes ranging from XXS to XXL.

The Dream Mini Skirt

If you’re not a maxi skirt person, the Dream Mini might be more up your alley, and now it comes in the perfect spring shades. This super-soft skirt is made with a high-rise fit with an elastic waistband that offers enough stretch and give to keep you comfortable all day long. Its A-line shape provides ample coverage so you never have to worry about feeling exposed while you’re on the go, and one shopper even dubbed this the “Goldilocks” of mini skirts thanks to its length and flattering drape. It’s versatile and will hardly take up any space in your suitcase. Plus, it’s made of a double knit that keeps even the white shade from being see-through.

The Selfie Boatneck Tank

Just as a solid-colored long-sleeve top is essential to any well-rounded capsule wardrobe, so too is a basic tank top. However, if you’re looking to veer from the traditional cut, you may be drawn to the boatneck design of this plain top that’s now available in three neutrals and a beautiful cobalt blue. The cropped tank is easy to layer thanks to its fitted design, while the high neckline is a fun departure from other ribbed tanks. It’s made from a forgiving blend of cotton and elastane with just the right amount of stretch, and it comes in sizes ranging from XXS to XXL. At $35, you may want to snag more than one before they sell out.

The Day Sneakers

Comfortable walking shoes are a must-have for any good travel wardrobe, and Everlane’s The Day Sneakers are perfect for everyday wear. The plain white court shoes have a low profile, featuring a traditional lace-up design, durable rubber outsoles, slim toe boxes, and a wide range of sizes from 5 to 11 (including half sizes). They’re understated enough to pair well with anything from a mini skirt to a relaxed pair of jeans, and if you only have enough room for one pair of shoes in your suitcase, this is the most versatile choice for the spot. Have enough white sneakers in your closet? These are available in four additional color combinations, including tan and blue, tan and grey, and white and green.

The ‘90s Forever Jeans

‘90s denim is known for striking the perfect balance between loose-fitting and structured, but while I’ve only ever had success finding this exact style at the thrift store, Everlane is changing the game with this new drop. The ‘90s Forever Jeans come in both stretch and non-stretch options alongside a high-rise, relaxed fit that’s equally as casual as it is easily dressed up. The longer cut is designed to graze the floor for a model-off-duty appearance and best of all, they’re sustainably made from 100 percent organic cotton material that will only get softer with every wear. At $138, they’re a worthwhile investment towards the future of your wardrobe. Who knows? Maybe they’ll even make you amenable to flying in jeans.
