The verdict
Fit
Pleated trouser in Tencel, suggesting a dressier silhouette. Pleats indicate a higher rise and roomier hip; fit details unknown without trying.
Quality
Tencel is more breathable and lustrous than cotton. At this price, seam and pleat construction are key durability factors.
Is the price fair?
Discounted Tencel is a genuine upgrade from basic cotton chinos at the same price tier.
Best for
Someone wanting a dressier chino with breathable fabric for warmer months or office settings.
Care
Tencel can relax with washing; hang dry to preserve pleats and avoid shrinkage.
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 pants
Reviewers who have tried Everlane's pants range broadly report substantial midweight cotton fabrics that keep their shape through a day's wear, with the caveat that fit and rise vary sharply between styles. Several of the women's styles run big enough that sizing down is the standard advice, and some cuts draw complaints about awkward rises and ankle details. On the men's side, the stretch chinos are called comfortable and well made, though lighter in weight than some owners prefer.
- Strengths
- Midweight fabrics that reviewers say hold their shape and stand up to long-term wear at a mid-range price.
- Watch out for
- Fit and rise are inconsistent from style to style — several run large and some cuts have awkward proportions, so reviewers advise researching each style rather than trusting the line as a whole.
- Sizing
- Multiple reviewers advise sizing down in the roomier women's styles, while the men's chinos are bought true to size and come in several fits, waist sizes, and inseam lengths.
