The verdict

Everlane's Pointelle Cardigan at $68 is budget tier with airy construction; good for warm-season layering if you accept modest durability.

Fit

Pointelle knit is sheer and opens easily—this cardigan offers breezy coverage. Cotton runs true; the cut is likely relaxed to semi-fitted.

Quality

Cotton pointelle at this price is basic construction. Sheer knits are more vulnerable to snagging and pilling. Expect softness to diminish with washing.

Price check

At $68, this is budget tier. Pointelle cotton is inexpensive to produce. Fair value for a disposable warm-season layer, though durability is limited.

Best for

Lightweight warm-weather layering; someone wanting sheer coverage and accepting that durability is not a priority.

Care

Pointelle is fragile—hand wash gently or use a delicate cycle in a mesh bag. Lay flat to dry to protect against stretching.

Varies by line

Everlane has no single direction: the slim tees and shirts run trim and a touch short, the deliberately relaxed pieces (sweaters, wide pants, jackets) run large, and denim sits true to size.

Men's reviewers report the tees and shirts cut slim and short — "their fits are generally slimmer" — and advise moving up a size if between sizes. Women's owners report the opposite on the relaxed styles: one long-term reviewer says "Everlane does typically run a little large, for the most part," sizing down in cashmere sweaters, trousers, and jackets, and calling some wide-leg pants extremely large. Denim and chinos are the stable middle — reviewers take their usual size. The consistent thread is that fit tracks the cut of each line, not the label, so owners lean on Everlane's per-garment measurements.

Sizing advice: Order your usual size in jeans and chinos, size up in the slim tees and fitted shirts if between sizes, and size down in the boxy sweaters, relaxed pants, and jackets unless you want the full oversized look.

What owners report about Everlane sweaters

Owners report Everlane's sweater range feels soft for the money and pills less than expected, with reviewers noting the cashmere gets softer with wear. The recurring failure is small holes: one reviewer's cashmere crew developed a hole in the sleeve, and another's cashmere cardigan developed a hole in the shoulder after six months and a wash. A men's reviewer likes the knitwear overall but says sleeve and body length often need minor alterations.

Strengths: Reviewers repeatedly call the knits soft with comparatively low pilling for the price, and describe the cashmere as reasonably priced.
Watch out for: Small holes developing within months of wear are the most repeated complaint, reported in both the sleeve and the shoulder of cashmere pieces in otherwise positive reviews.
Sizing: Reviewers say Everlane sweaters generally run big — one sizes down from her usual S to an XS — and a men's reviewer notes sleeves and body length tend to run long.
