Everlane Wants You to Have a Daily Uniform to Make Dressing Easier

Everlane thinks that daily dressing should be easier — that every guy needs a uniform made up of daily style staples. And that’s where the aptly named Everlane Uniform Collection comes into play, a newly launched style line from the San Francisco-based brand (which impressively debuted this week at its new Brooklyn outpost). 

The

Everlane Uniform Collection

is packed with the kind of crisp, sharp essentials every guy needs, from shirting to denim to outerwear, all priced affordably. Each of the 12 pieces in the collection retails for under $100.

Lest you think these are fast-fashion basics that fall apart easily, know that Everlane has done its due diligence, testing each item, from the buttery soft tees to slim black denim, at 15 times the industry standard. That includes wash, wear, and color tests,  all the better to serve you. It only makes sense — the Uniform Collection comes as a result of clamoring from fans of the brand’s clean, minimal designs, who have consistently asked for more Everlane menswear, all the time.

From the date of your purchase from the Uniform Collection, Everlane is offering up a 365-day guarantee, giving these classic-yet-modern style staples plenty of time to pass muster. It’s likely you’ll want to wear this gear all the time — the crewneck and V-neck tees are weekend-ready, the Oxford shirting is perfect for the modern office, and the Performance Chinos are suited for brunch or a day on the job in equal measure. The Denim Jacket in Classic Blue Wash pairs up wonderfully with the soft-yet-durable French Terry Crew or an Oxford shirt. It’s a winning selection made to be mixed and matched at will.

For those worried about finding their size, also know that Everlane is offering both Slim and Athletic fits in the inky blue and deep black denim as part of this collection, and Oxford shirting also comes in Slim and Standard fits. If ever you visit New York City or explore Brooklyn, you’re in luck. The brand’s sharply designed new outpost on North 6th Street offers up a full floor of its men’s collection, and multiple racks spotlight the Uniform Collection on its own.

rag & bone wants to take you back with Harvey Collection
Dress like the days of Kennedy with knitted polos
Rag & Bone vintage car image

There was a time in our nation's history that felt like we saw something new and unprecedented every day, every week, every month. You had the hope and inspiration of the Space Race contradicting the fear and turmoil of the Vietnam War. Giant strides were made in the Civil Rights Movement, bringing pride and freedom to marginalized communities. And devastating setbacks were seen in the assassinations of two Kennedys and a King. It was an amazing and trying time, and the evolution of men's style went along for the ride. One of the fashion trends of the day was the knitted and crocheted polos that men wore to protests, marches, and celebrations. The style gave them a trendy casual look that built on the rebellious casualization of men in the 1950s and carried it into the subsequent decades. rag & bone reaches back to those memorable years of the mid-late century to bring us the Harvey Collection.
Capturing deep vintage 60s-70s

The first thing to take notice of in this collection is the reinvention of the fabrics with cotton blends that include cashmere. This gives an elevated feel to the casual look and, regardless of your rebellion, allows you to feel luxurious. The next thing to make these polos perfect for today is the updated color pallet. While the 60s and 70s were known for their browns and avocado greens, the reds, blues, blacks, and whites bring these into the now. And finally, an updated silhouette modernizes these looks, keeping the vintage feel without the outdated wide collars and flared hems.

If you have ever been to a men's store and listened to the guys around you, you will have figured out that the biggest issue we have with dressing up is comfort. The restrictive nature of suits is one of the most significant drawbacks to dressing like Don Draper every day. However, if you do wear a suit daily, you may have figured out that times are changing. It may have taken a century of wearing the modern iteration of suits to figure it out, but the industry finally started changing the makeup of our favorite garments. Jack Victor is a favorite destination for our needed menswear, and they are also doing what they can to solve this little issue. Jack Victor COMFORTWEAR collection is their answer to our discomfort.
Look like a suit, feel like a sweater

The Jack Victor COMFORTWEAR Collection blends innovative fabrics like wool, silk, linen, cotton, and cashmere with exceptional stretch. This combination gives the look of a blazer with the maximized comfort of a sweater. You can go with the three-button look that offers the feel of a more casual jacket, the checked two-button look that feels more like a sport coat, or you can go for the truly unique look of the double-breasted jacket. Any of the above options are just as appropriate in the office, elevating your business casual to a smart casual, or on the cabin porch with your coffee. Either way, the tech leads with sharpness and ends with unparalleled comfort.

Making sense of men’s dress shirt sizes: How to get the perfect fit
Look great no matter what your dress code requires
Man in tan dress shirt and suit

Growing up, our understanding of sizing in our clothes was quite simple. We knew from experience whether or not we were a small, medium, large, extra large, or one of the big and tall sizes. The best casual shirts are always categorized in those sizes, making it easy for us to find the right size. However, there are further complications when you get into the shirt's fit as there can be a wide range of categories from extra slim, slim, classic, modern, and even more cut types.

Once we get into the tailored wardrobes, dress shirts get a lot more complicated as they ditch the typical sizing categories and go with something different. Learning how to measure shirt size in the dress shirt world is vital to looking great. The sizing switches from letters to two vague numbers that make no sense if you are unaware of their purpose. We have the answer for you. Here is how to do it in a way that will have your dress shirts fitting great at all times.
