Summer Styles from Evereve, Sanctuary, Faherty, LNA & More

SIZING NOTES: I’m 5’5″ and I usually wear a small or medium in tops and dresses, a 29 or 30 in jeans and pants, and a size 8 shoe. Gifted items are indicated by c/o; everything else I purchased myself.

Evereve Cruz Sleeveless Hoodie

at Evereve (M) // Frank & Eileen Gaucho Jeans c/o (29) // Dolce Vita slides (7.5)

Details:

• Length from Shoulder to Hem: 21 1/2″
• Material: 60% Cotton, 40% Modal Slub Knit
• Care: Machine Wash, Wash Cold, Dry Flat

I tried on this sporty top in the size small at the Evereve store a few weeks ago, and I could tell I needed to size up, but I didn’t think I liked it enough to go back onto the floor and find it. Well, I couldn’t stop thinking about it, and every time I see it on the Evereve website, it catches my eye, so I decided to order the medium and see how I feel about it in the right size.

This time I love it! It was just a little too fitted in the small, and those funky sleeves/armholes don’t look so awkward now that the rest of the top is more slouchy and relaxed.

VERDICT: Keeping! This is such a fun, casual, sporty-chic top to wear with jeans, cargo pants, and shorts. I love the white, but it also comes in a washed red, that’s right on trend for summer 2024!

Evereve James Pullover

at Evereve (S) // Frank & Eileen Gaucho Jeans c/o (29) // Dolce Vita slides (7.5) // Good American Good Straight (8) // Birks (39)

Details:

• Length from Shoulder to Hem: 22″
• Material: 100% Cotton Knit
• Care: Hand Wash, Wash Cold, Dry Flat

I’m a sucker for subtle tie dye print, and while I may have declared it an outdated trend not too long ago, I was drawn to this sweater the instant I saw it online. The muscle tee styling keeps it modern, and it being a sweater gives it a more elevated look and feel than than a tie dye tee.

Also, the colors are my favorites. They call it blue, but it looks grey/white/black to me. I like how this top pairs with the light wash gaucho jeans I’m wearing here.

It also pairs really nicely with white denim. I wore this outfit to go to the mall and out to eat with Paul last Friday night.

VERDICT: Definitely keeping this one. I’ve already worn it twice!

Evereve Reese Dip Dye Tank

at Evereve (M) // Frank & Eileen Gaucho Jeans c/o (29) // Dolce Vita slides (7.5)

Details:

• Length from Shoulder to Hem: 23″
• Material: Self: 100% BCI Cotton Slub Knit; Contrast: 97% BCI Cotton, 3% Spandex
• Care: Machine Wash, Tumble Dry Low

Given my feelings about the tie dye sweater above, you might think I would also love this dip dye tank, but this one doesn’t excite me. It’s kind of shapeless, and I don’t care for the high contrast between the white on top and black on bottom.

VERDICT: I returned this one.

Faherty Miramar V-Neck Pullover

at Evereve (S) // Frank & Eileen Gaucho Jeans c/o (29) // Dolce Vita slides (7.5)

Details:

• Length from Shoulder to Hem: 22″
• Material: 64% Linen, 36% Organic Cotton Knit
• Care: Machine Wash, Wash Cold, Delicate / Gentle Cycle, Dry Flat

I wanted to love this slouchy stripe sweater. It checks all the boxes with the deep v-neck, extra long sleeves, and textural linen/cotton blend knit fabrication. But I struggled to style it in a way that didn’t look awkward.

Front tucking with stripes always looks a bit off to me, and the way these are placed, at the bottom half of the sweater, seems to throw off my proportions or something. I can’t explain it, but I just didn’t love the overall look.

I did also try styling this with ecru wide leg crop jeans. The “white” stripes in the sweater are really more of an off-white, so this color palette really works, but I just don’t love the overall proportions of the outfit.

VERDICT: Sadly, I returned this sweater. I wanted to love it, but I know myself well enough to know that I won’t reach for it. Or I will, but then I’ll get frustrated and take it off and wish I hadn’t spent $158 on a sweater that I have to work too hard to make it work.

LNA Fallon V Cotton Tank

at Evereve (M) // Frank & Eileen Gaucho Jeans c/o (29) // Dolce Vita slides (7.5)

Details:

• Length from Shoulder to Hem: 24″
• Material: 100% Cotton Knit
• Care: Machine Wash, Wash Cold, Delicate / Gentle Cycle, Tumble Dry Low
• Made in United States

Now this top, on the other hand, is right up my alley! I love the super soft cotton knit, the raw edges, and the fun cut-out design. The cotton candy shade of pink is really good too.

This top is a little longer than I prefer, but a good length for a front tuck, and it looks okay from the back.

VERDICT: Keeping! I can see myself wearing this a lot this summer. It looks good with all shades of denim, and it would be cute with white shorts, too.

Nation LTD Via Tie Front Tank

at Evereve (S) // Frank & Eileen Gaucho Jeans c/o (29) // Dolce Vita slides (7.5)

Details:

• Length from Shoulder to Hem: 21 1/2″
• Material: 100% Pima Cotton Slub Knit
• Care: Machine Wash, Wash Cold, Tumble Dry Low

This top has potential, but it’s way too wide and swingy for my taste.

The front tuck looks awkward, too.

VERDICT: This one went back.

Quince Dolman Sweater Gray

at Quince (M) // Good American Good Straight (8) // Beek flip flops (8)

Details:

• Materials: 65% organic cotton, 32% ecovero viscose, 3% cashmere
• Machine wash cold. Gentle cycle. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low.

You may remember this Quince sweater from an earlier Try-On Haul; I had the small in the oatmeal. The medium fits better, and I like the gray better, but I’m not loving the fit. It’s a lot of fabric.

VERDICT: I’ll probably return this; I do need something sort of like this in my wardrobe, but I’m not sure this is the one.

Rebecca Minkoff Medium Edie Raffia Crossbody Bag

at Saks // at Bloomies // Treasure & Bond sweater // PAIGE Anessa jeans (29) // Sam Edelman slides (8)

Details:

• Dimensions: 10″W x 3.5″D x 6.5″H
• Chain shoulder strap, 11″ drop
• Exterior back snap pocket, interior back slip pocket
• 80% paper/20% polyurethane; lining: 100% polyester

Love this raffia shoulder bag for spring/summer! The gold hardware is a little brassy, but otherwise, the leather lining in the flap is nice, and the faux hook closure is a fun detail. I love the YSL version of this bag, but not the price tag. This is a nice alternative.

VERDICT: Keeping! This is exactly what I was looking for.

Staud Dante Leather Flip-Flops

at Saks (38) // at Shopbop (in beige) // Evereve James Pullover (S) // Good American Good Straight (8) Evereve Camp Jacket (S)

Details:

• Lambskin
• Cushioned footbed
• Leather sole with rubber heel cap
• Made in Portugal

I ordered these leather flip flops on a whim during the last Saks sale. Thong style sandals are having a moment this summer, and I’ve long been a fan of the style and shape. They’re made of a luxe lambskin that is super soft and beautiful, and the leather sole is a testament to the quality and attention to detail. Definitely keeping!

Splendid St. Tropez Linen Blend Top

at Nordstrom (S) // MOTHER Weekender (29) // PAIGE Claudine (29) (more sizes) // Seychelles Summer Rain Sandal (7.5)

Details:

• 23 1/2″ length
• 55% linen, 45% viscose
• Machine wash, tumble dry

Fashion is getting more elegant this year, and I’ve been struggling to find tops I like that aren’t basic t-shirts. This is a really nice one to dress up or down. The linen blend is cool and comfortable, and it’s the perfect length and shape to leave untucked.

VERDICT: Keeping, I think this will be a nice addition to my spring/summer wardrobe.

Daydreamer Red Hot Chili Peppers Tee

at Evereve (M) // KUT from the Kloth skirt (8) // Beek flip flops (8)

Details:

• Length from Shoulder to Hem: 23 1/2″
• Material: 100% Cotton Jersey
• Care: Hand Wash, Dry Flat
• Made in United States

I love a graphic tee, and I enjoy the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I think the design of this top is kind of fun, I like that it’s a bit more feminine than your typical band tee. The fabric is super soft, and it has a nice relaxed fit, but for some reason, I just didn’t love it enough to bring it home with me. Maybe I should have tried it on with jeans or shorts, but I don’t think I need it.

KUT from the Kloth Bristol Utility Skirt

at Evereve (8) // Red Hot Chili Peppers Tee (M) // Beek flip flops (8)

Details:

• Skirt Length: 17″Material: 59% Cotton, 21% Hemp, 20% EcoVero Denim
• Care: Machine Wash, Wash Cold, Hang To Dry

I did, however, bring this skirt home with me. It has a really nice fit, and I like the length. It’s just short enough to be current, but not so short that I feel like I’m wearing a mini skirt. I think it will be a nice alternative to shorts this summer.

Sanctuary Triple Threat Utility Skirt

at Evereve (29) // V-Neck Tank (S) // Beek flip flops (8)

Details:

• Skirt Length: 30″
• Material: 97% Cotton, 3% Spandex Twill
• Care: Machine Wash, Wash Warm, Hang To Dry

This skirt has a lot of potential; I love the long straight cut with the front slit, and the olive green twill has a nice stretch to it. Plus, the utility details keep it on trend. It would be a nice transition piece for fall.

VERDICT: I didn’t bring this home, but I might regret leaving it at the store.

Sarina V Neck Tank

at Evereve (8) // Sanctuary Utility Skirt (29) // Beek flip flops (8)

Details:

• Length from Shoulder to Hem: 22 3/4″
• Material: 76% Polyester, 19% Rayon, 3% Spandex Rib Knit

Finally, this rib tank is such a good one! They carried a crewneck version of this a few years ago; I had the rust color and wore it a lot. I love the way it’s designed around the armholes to cover your bra straps. I went with the small, but I maybe should have tried the medium. At any rate, it’s a nice basic you can wear along with jewelry or layer it under a jacket.

VERDICT: I brought this one home, but I may go back and try the medium before I rip the tags off and wear it.
