The verdict
Fit
Utility styling with pleats suggests a structured, slightly fuller mini silhouette; fit allows ease through the hip and waist.
Quality
Budget construction. Cotton holds pleats reasonably well; seaming is standard for the price, adequate for regular rotation.
Is the price fair?
Budget tier, discounted. Strong value at $47; the utility detail and pleating justify the low price.
Best for
Shoppers seeking an affordable, structured mini skirt with design interest for everyday layering.
Care
Pleated cotton skirts benefit from steam pressing or careful ironing post-wash to maintain pleat definition.
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 skirts
Independent bloggers who buy and wear Everlane skirts report generally solid make for the price: a cotton poplin skirt "feels high quality" with roomy hidden pockets, and the rigid cotton denim skirt holds you in with no stretch. The recurring gripe is length, not construction — one 5'4" reviewer found the denim skirt "definitely for short people," while another 5'4" reviewer found the slip skirt's supposed midi length wore as a maxi on her. Reviewers also note thin fabrics in some styles and creasing in the cotton and linen pieces, and one long-time customer says the brand has gotten trendier over the years.
- Strengths
- True-to-size fits and fabric that independent reviewers repeatedly call better than the price suggests, with practical details like real pockets.
- Watch out for
- Lengths are inconsistent style to style, some fabrics are thin and unlined, and the cotton and linen pieces crease noticeably with wear.
- Sizing
- Waist sizing runs true to size across multiple reviews, but check the length spec for each style against your height — several skirts run short on taller frames while the slip skirt runs long.
