Tops and sweaters
Everlane Organic Cotton Box-Cut Tee
The foundation of every traveler's capsule wardrobe is the basic tee. It's on every packing list, no matter where you're headed or what's on the itinerary. This boxy, cotton T-shirt is as versatile as it gets—and it has that perfectly soft, worn-in feel. Choose from over a dozen colors and with or without a chest pocket.
Everlane Silky Cotton Relaxed Shirt
This shirt is exactly what it says it is: a boxy, slightly oversized button-up made of 100 percent cotton yarn that drapes so nicely it might as well be silk. Dress it up with jeans and heels or swap in sneakers for a classic look for a day of exploring. The layering piece comes in a number of solid colors and stripe combos.
Everlane The Supima Micro-Rib turtleneck
Our readers agree on the importance of a classic turtleneck in your wardrobe. This snug-fitting number from Everlane is made of fine-ribbed Supima cotton and stretchy elastane for extra comfort. Tuck it into your favorite pair of jeans and layer it under a vest, packable jacket, or sweater.
Everlane The Premium-Weight long-sleeve crew
This men's long-sleeve crewneck is also among our most-purchased Everlane essentials. It's a part of the brand's Uniform and Capsule Staples: a line of the best wardrobe basics for everyday wear. It's available in a few neutral colors like heather oatmeal (pictured), heather gray, white, and black.
Everlane The Organic Cotton Relaxed Cardigan
Is there any piece of clothing cozier than a cardigan? This sweet, cream-colored favorite offers a relaxed fit and a polished V-neck design. Made of a chunky, ribbed organic cotton material, this soft cardigan is the perfect companion for a chilly plane ride.
Pants
Everlane The Dream pant
These pants really are a dream—the tapered leg make them look polished, but they're still comfortable enough to wear all day, thanks to the elastic waist and double-knit fabric. They're wrinkle-resistant, too, making them a staple pair of pants to pack on business and leisure trips alike. Snag these popular pants in any of the many color options including black, dark forest, heathered charcoal, heathered auburn, and more.
Everlane The Performance Chino
These straight-leg Performance Chinos are one of the brand's bestsellers. They’re sweat-wicking, quick-drying, and offer four-way stretch, and come in nearly a dozen colors and a few different fits—slim, athletic, or straight.
Everlane The Organic Cotton Slim Fit jean
Everlane designs some pretty great jeans—they're well-made, fit comfortably, and last for years. These features combined with an under-$100 price tag has made them a hit with our readers.
Everlane The Way-High Drape pant
A beige trouser is a true year-round must-have. Whether you're headed to the office, exploring a new museum, or want a more comfortable alternative to denim, a high-waisted pant like this will always look polished.
Travel bags
Everlane The Renew Transit bag
Everlane travel essentials extend to bags, too, and our readers love the ease of the Transit bag. Made of 100 percent recycled polyester, it features an adjustable shoulder strap, a main zippered pouch with an internal divider, and not one but two zippered exterior pockets for maximum organization. There's no wonder it's a top contender for the best travel fanny pack.
Everlane The Cactus Leather Mini sling bag
When all you need is your phone and a few cards, ditch the clunky crossbody for a slim, mini bag. It comes in handy when you're walking around a cruise ship or your hotel and don't want to carry around a large empty purse. This leather sling bag fits just the essentials and takes up basically zero packing room.
Everlane The Italian Leather Studio bag
Every traveler needs a good tote—and we adore this sleek, roomy Studio bag made from premium Italian leather. It features an adjustable shoulder strap, a snap closure, and a few pockets to keep small items organized. This is one of those bags you'll have forever; grab it in cognac (pictured), light taupe, porcini taupe, or black.
Everlane The ReNew Transit weekender
One of the ultimate travel essentials is a durable weekender bag for quick getaways. This Traveler favorite— available in black, warm quartz, nutria green, and ocean cavern—can be stuffed with everything you need for a long weekend trip, thanks to its wide bottom. It's made from 36.6 renewed plastic bottles, is water-resistant, and has an adjustable strap as well as a carry handle.
Shoes
Everlane Modern Loafer
We can't forget about the brand's comfy shoes! The Modern Loafer is one of our readers' favorites and it's easy to see why. With a minimalist silhouette and foam-cushioned insole, this loafer strikes the perfect combination of comfort and sophistication.
Everlane The Rain Boot
Shopping for the best rain boots can be difficult—some are too heavy, some aren't fully waterproof, and others just aren't the least bit stylish. This lightweight rain boot does it all with a waterproof rubber shell and stretchy canvas material—it's the perfect shoe for those slippery, rainy travel days.
Everlane The Italian Leather Day Glove
Ballet flats made a big comeback last year. While they're not known as the most comfortable walking shoe, they do offer some perks that make them a worthwhile staple. These flats are lightweight, packable, versatile, and look chic with just about any outfit from jeans to dresses to skirts.
Everlane Day Crossover Sandal
Rounding out our list of the most-purchased Everlane pieces is this best-selling sandal. It comes in go-with-anything colors like black, cream, brown, and taupe, and is an essential addition to your suitcase for warm-weather trips. Made of 100 percent leather, the sandal has a wide fit, a square toe, and a slight wedge for support. The Day Crossover sandals are among our favorite slides, thanks to the double-folded criss-cross straps, which are designed to reduce chafing, and the fact that they're especially easy to pack.
