Hi friends! I’ve got another short Evereve try-on haul for you this week.
SIZING NOTES: I’m 5’5″ with an hourglass shape. Unless I say otherwise, I’m wearing a 6/28 in pants/jeans, a small in tops, a 6 in dresses/jumpsuits, and size 8 shoe. Also, in the interest of full disclosure, all of these items were gifted, but I picked them out.
Evereve Millie Shaker Pullover

This sweater is a soft and cozy acrylic/nylon/spandex blend. The shaker knit and raglan shoulders give some nice texture to any casual look, and I love the extra long sleeves.
It’s true to size with a somewhat relaxed fit, and it’s long enough that I felt like it needed a front tuck to keep my proportions in check with these jeans, plus I like how it helps define the waist.
STYLE TIP: When doing a front tuck, try tucking it a little off to one side. It looks a little more unintentional and effortlessly chic.
VERDICT: Keeping! Not that I need another neutral sweater in my life, but they were out of the pink when I placed my order, and I really do love this ivory. It’s hard to see here, but it has some variegation in the knit, which makes it really pretty.
Kut From The Kloth Reese High Rise Straight

I really like this straight ankle style from KUT from the Kloth, and the versatile medium indigo wash. They have a 9 1/2″ front rise, 27″ inseam, and 13 3/4″ leg opening; and the fabric is 68% cotton, 28% polyester, 3% rayon, 1% spandex.
They’re not as soft as premium denim, but they have good stretch so they fit comfortably, and I feel like they flatter me. The raw hem looks a little too clean for my tastes, but that will loosen up some the first time they’re washed.
Here’s the same sweater/denim pairing with burgundy pumps. I like the juxtaposition of dressy and casual and the mix of textures, and the pop of color is fun, especially at holiday time.
VERDICT: I like these enough to keep them, but I already have jeans that play a similar role, and I will always reach for better quality denim if I have a choice so I may not keep these. However, I do recommend trying these if you like the price point. They’re flattering and modern without being too “mom jean”.
Hudson High Rise Barbara Ankle Skinny
sweater (S) // jeans (28) // pumps (8)
In this look, I left the sweater untucked. As you can see, it isn’t so long that you have to tuck it. As long as I can still see some of the zipper on the jeans, most tops look okay left out, as long as the jeans are long enough to offset the length of the sweater. Adding a heel helps too.
In this case, the jeans have a 10″ rise, 28″ inseam, and 10″ leg opening, so they’re basically your typical high rise ankle skinny jeans. Those measurements are almost identical to the AG Farrah, but the denim has a slightly rigid look and feel to it, although it has plenty of stretch to keep them comfortable. The fabric is 77% cotton, 20% lyocell, 3% lycra.
VERDICT: Keeping for now. I like the off-black wash and the clean cut, and while I have a lot of black jeans, these seem like they might serve a purpose in my wardrobe. I’ve already worn them once.
Evereve Tegan Moto Sweatshirt
sweatshirt (S) // jeans (28) // sneakers (39)
And this is the last piece I have to show you today. This sweatshirt is super soft and cozy, and I really love the density of the fabric — not too thick but not too thin. I have a few sweatshirts that I like, but they aren’t quite warm enough for winter.
I also like the funnel neck, raglan sleeves, and generous sleeve length with thumbholes. It’s 22 1/2″ long so I just left it untucked, but I notice the model on the website front-tucked it. Everything about this sweatshirt is cozy and comfortable. It’s a polyester/rayon/spandex blend, and they recommend laying out to air dry.
VERDICT: Keeping! I love everything about this one, and I’m finding myself reaching for my sweatshirts more than my sweaters on casual days at home.
I used to wear sweaters all fall and winter, but a lot of them require dry cleaning, and sweatshirts are easier to throw in the wash. There are so many good elevated sweatshirt options these days, and they just make a lot of sense for my casual lifestyle. I think I need to add this clothing category to my Winter Wardrobe Essentials, which I’m planning to update in a few weeks.

I like the price point of kut from kloth jeans. I like the look of them on you. And am thinking of getting them. I want a medium wash pair of jeans. And I thought your photo would qualify as that. But whenI followed the link to store they looked way more faded on their website photo. And I don’t need a light wash. I wanted to ask what you would describe the wash as (light or medium) ?
Medium. I have noticed that with their denim photos. They always look way lighter than they are in real life. It’s annoying b/c it can be misleading.
Love all of these pieces. Evereve does so much right. So happy to see a 9 1/2″ mid rise (even though they call it high rise) jean for us short waisted peeps. I most often reach for elevated sweatshirts for my lifestyle as well. Keep ’em coming!
I agree, I consider 9 1/2″ a mid rise for sure. I really like that 10″ range.
You look the best in the “how to wear it” section on the Evereve site. 🙂 I am ordering the Hudson off- black jeans – been looking for a pair with this wash and these measurements. Thanks for the Saturday try-ons!
LOL, thank you! 🙂 I hope you like them.
Love the oatmeal sweater and how you styled it with the off black jeans and pumps, classy looking. I think those pumps would look nice with your black ?Spanx leggings as well.
Wanted to let you know I reached back with Northstrom today spoke with someone via phone rather than chat line about the Dalby jacket I mentioned a few days ago. They gave me a very nice price adjustment since it was the last one and missing the leather zipper pulls so will be keeping it since it fits so well and such a nice quality, very pleased!
That is very good to hear! Sounds more like the Nordstrom I know and love. And I checked mine, and it also has the leather zipper pulls. Not sure why I thought it didn’t. So yeah, I guess yours probably is this year’s. I just thought it odd it had Nordstrom Rack tags. All’s well that ends well, I guess!
Yes, the customer rep asked me the price on the Rack tag and she really seemed to want to help, anyhow think I will enjoy it for a long time, love the color berry/oxblood.
Great jeans choices but I still have a hard time spending that much on denim. Plus, I need to try them on inshore these days with all the different types. It really does make me crazy. I need to go jean shopping so bad.
meant to say in store. 🙂
