The Pleated Shirt in Silky Cotton | Black

Button-Ups

$45as of Sep 3, 2026. Check the current price at Everlane

The verdict

A structured cotton shirt with real presence; priced at mid-tier for a piece designed to hold shape and layer into dressier outfits.

Fit

Pleating through the front and across the back adds intentional volume and silhouette. True to size through the shoulders; expect a composed, less clingy fit than a basic cotton shirt.

Quality

Silky cotton is softer and drapes better than standard cotton poplin. Everlane's stitching and seam placement support the design without puckering typical of discount versions.

Price check

At $45, the price reflects the structured detail and fabric quality. Reasonable for a piece that transcends basic casual wear.

Best for

Shoppers wanting a polished weekday shirt that works across dressier and casual contexts without looking overly formal.

Care

Machine wash warm, tumble dry low to maintain crispness in the pleats without flattening them completely.

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 button-ups

Reviewers describe the oxford fabric as thicker and better than expected for the price, and note it resists wrinkling. Fit reports split by cut: the men's slim oxford runs trim with short tails meant for untucked wear, while the women's boxy style runs large enough that reviewers size down. A recurring complaint is that alpha-only sizing (no neck or sleeve sizes) makes precise fit hit-or-miss, and one reviewer found the large tight across a 42-inch chest with the collar and sleeves slightly off.

Strengths: Owners consistently rate the oxford cloth itself as good quality for the money, with a soft collar and a fabric that holds up to washing without much wrinkling.
Watch out for: S-M-L-only sizing means collar and sleeve fit is approximate, the slim cut leaves extra fabric in the back for tapered builds, and reviewers agree these are casual shirts that do not dress up with a tie.
Sizing: The men's slim oxford fits trim with shortish tails; the women's boxy oxford runs large — reviewers who normally wear a medium report taking a small.
