It’s been a while since I’ve written a fitting room review. (Thanks, pandemic.) But I’m back! In my search for summer clothes, I recently went to Everlane to try on a few things: the Air Tank and Easy Short.

The Air Tank

The Air Tank seems to be the cousin to the Air Cami, which did not work for me due to the cut. (Air Cami review here.) However, I did like the fabric, which is a super lightweight, thin cotton — perfect for disgustingly humid and hot days.

Here’s a 5′ 10″ model wearing a size small.

Here’s a closer look at the tank top in a color called walnut. I didn’t see this in the store, but I think it’s a nice shade of brown. The Air Tank currently comes in six colors.

And here’s 5’4″ me wearing an XS in a color called iced coffee. For reference, I’m a dress size 4-6 and wear a small (and sometimes XS) in most brands.

Sizing & Fit: I find that Everlane generally runs big when it comes to tops. So this runs a bit big. But the sizing is consistent to other Everlane shirts. The XS was the right size for me. When I tried the S, the arm holes were too big and showed my bra.

Design Details: I appreciate the placement of the scoops. The front isn’t too low. And while the back is low, it doesn’t show the back of your bra. I also like the not-too-long length. (The XS is 21.5″ in length.) Perhaps it’s not a good fit if you have a long torso, but it’s handy for pairing with high-waisted bottoms. If you wear it tucked in, there won’t be too much material to tuck.

I can see myself buying this tank in several colors. At $30, though, I’m going to wait for it to go on sale.

UPDATE 6/1/22 – I ordered the air tank in walnut, and the color is lighter in person. (Couldn’t quite capture the shade. It’s even lighter than this photo in real life.)

UPDATE 6/10/22 – OK, after having some time to try on the Air Tank, I can now report that it stretches in the arm hole area, so much so that my bra became visible from the side. Plus, it kind of sticks out in that area, which you can see below. I really liked the cut, but I’m sorry to say I can no longer recommend it because of the substantial stretching. Disappointing!

The Easy Short

The Easy Short seems to be an iteration of the Easy Chino Short (my review here), a prior Everlane pull-on short with an elastic waist and lightweight cotton twill fabric. The fabric content is 98% cotton and 2% elastane.

Here’s a 5′ 8″ model wearing a size 0.

Here’s 5′ 4″ me wearing a size 4 on the left and a size 6 on the right.

Sizing & Fit: I am a 4 or 6 in bottoms these days (probably more like a 6 if I’m being honest with myself). I wear a 28 in the Everlane Original Cheeky Jean and a 27 in the Way-High Jean. I tried on both the 4 and the 6. They felt similar in the waist (though of course tighter in the smaller size), but the leg was much roomier in the 6. The 4 was more flattering for me. So, I guess these run true to size in the waist, but big in the leg.

Design Details: The Easy Short have a lot going for it that sounds good: elastic waist, pockets, a 5″ inseam, and a high-ish rise (10.88″ in the size 4). While casual, they can be dressed up as well. They look cute on the model. But on me, I felt meh about them. Maybe it’s because they were so wrinkled in the store? (Which makes me think they’d be wrinkled always.) Or that they just don’t look good on my short legs? The roominess of the leg gave serious auntie vibes.

They feel comfortable. Perhaps a darker color would be more flattering and better at hiding wrinkles.

The Air Tank and Easy Short are just two of Everlane’s summer offerings. I was on my way to an appointment, so I didn’t have time to try on everything that caught my eye. I’m also curious about the Air Muscle Tank and Linen Boxer Short.

UPDATE 5/26/22 – These two items are now marked down as part of Everlane’s Memorial Day Sale.

UPDATE 6/10/22- Alright, I ordered some things during the sale and here’s a try on of the Air Muscle Tank. It seems wider in the shoulders than other muscle tanks. Which is maybe why it kind of puckers out at the side at the arm pits. Not a keeper for me. Maybe good for someone with wider shoulders?
