The verdict
Fit
High-key with wide cut suggests a high waistband and generous leg opening. Typical Everlane proportions mean a roomier thigh and relaxed calf. Sizing runs true.
Quality
Budget-tier denim at $44. Construction is solid for the price; the fabric is lightweight and not engineered for durability beyond a couple of seasons of regular wear.
Is the price fair?
Fair pricing for a wide-leg high-rise in the budget category. Wide legs are trendy, and Everlane delivers the silhouette without the premium markup.
Best for
Shoppers seeking affordable wide-leg styling with high-waisted framing, unconcerned with denim longevity.
Care
Wash cold inside out and hang dry to maintain the wide silhouette and slow indigo fading.
Fit check: Everlane
Varies by lineEverlane 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 jeans
Owners report Everlane's denim compares well with jeans costing more — one reviewer wrote she regularly pays double for comparable quality. Fit is the consistent positive across both the women's and men's ranges, with a men's long-term tester finding Everlane the best-fitting of several pairs he tried. Long-term wearers say the jeans soften and loosen somewhat with wear but keep their overall shape, and reviewers of the stretch styles report no bagging at the knees or seat between washes.
- Strengths
- Reviewers consistently rate the fit and the quality-for-price as the line's strong points, with the denim described as soft but substantial enough not to feel cheap.
- Watch out for
- Stretch styles relax and loosen a little over time, and Everlane's own size-down guidance on some styles conflicts with reviewers who found true size more comfortable.
- Sizing
- Reviewers mostly went true to size — one who sized down for vanity had to exchange back up — but a long-term tester of the stretch styles said they loosen enough over time that she would consider sizing down.
