Everlane has a new denim release called the Super Straight.
ReplyDeleteI tried the cheeky straight and the 90s cheeky. They’re high waisted and fit well at the top, I just find the leg is narrower through the ankle than what I’d consider a straight leg,
The leg on the super straight is wider from hip to ankle. I ordered two sizes/lengths and two washes, one very retro dark wash with a cuff. I also ordered the cheeky bootcut which I’ve been considering for awhile.
If not I have several pairs I already love but it’s fun to try something a little different.
As a straight-leg aficionada, I eagerly await your review.
DeleteI never love their model shots but they show a pic of the cuffed one via email and on IG, styled with white ballet flats and a blazer and it looks good.
DeleteI love the look of the Cuffed Dark Indigo, looking forward to your review.
DeleteI know that’s not a look for everyone it done right it’s a look I really like!
DeleteReporting back. Would you believe I got the Everlane Super Straight jeans already?!
DeleteCuffed dark indigo: I really like these. They have a retro vibe, I feel very 1950s ish in them. Size wise They fit similar to the cheeky straight from Everlane. My smaller jean size fits. The larger size up also works if I wanted them a little more oversized. The color is not an inky blue, it’s a little more muted but no distressing. I think they’d wear in really nicely. The denim is not super heavy. Theyd work well in all seasons. Uncuffed they’re super long so if you’re tall this might be a good option. I’m just not sure they’re a need for me.
The mid blue seems to run smaller. My size up is ok. I think if you find the leg on the cheeky straight or 90s cheeky too slim this is a good option and I think they’d wear in well. The rise is high but not as high as the high rise toothpicks or the cheeky straight I think.
I also ordered the Everlane cheeky bootcut in the deep indigo with the inset which makes them look more like redone jeans. These also seem to run a little smaller. I wish the flare was a little wider on these. I always seem to have this issue with crop flares, they look more like a straight leg on me. The wash on these is nice though.

DeleteThank you Suz! Your Insta post is so helpful! I like the cuffed indigo version best. Very Helmut Lang! I was leaning towards the cuffed-indigo and the white super-straights and now I'm validated =).
DeleteI posted more in stories, showing the size 24 in the cuffed indigo. I tried the cheeky bootcut (size 25 regular) again with tweed Avery pumps and really like them too. The cuffed indigo is a totally different look but I really like those as well.
DeleteCoincidentally I have admired these very retro looking cuffed jeans from Imogene and Willie on social media. The cuffed Everlane ones are not quite as dramatic but I think it’s a cool look.
If you do buy, here’s my link if you’re a new buyer...

I have bought from Everlane but am not an aficionada by any means. Every so often, I find a great buy in their CWP section.
DeleteNot to mention, once or twice a year they offer me a $20 account credit. No strings attached. I like that their prices are fairly rock stable without endless promo codes/price changes.
Thank you Suz for the review & I wish I could have given you the referral credit.
DeleteNo worries! Last winter I started buying more from Everlane. I try and return a lot but most of the pieces I’ve kept I do really wear a lot. At this point the majority of my favorite sweaters, jeans and pants are all Everlane.
DeleteLike you I try to buy from the CWYP section but I have bought quite a few pieces at full price because their full price is still not crazy expensive (aside from some shoes) and I also appreciate the less trendy nature and more static pricing.
DeleteI did get one non-CWP item from Everlane: the travel backpack/tote. Bought it full-price and find it well made & functional. Took it to Japan for a 10-day trip (carry-on) and it worked great for travel to and from the airport-trains-subways.
