Everlane Review: The Way-High Jean
In these pandemic times, the idea of squeezing into skinny jeans does not appeal. I’ve been on the search for a pair of jeans with a straighter, roomier leg.

Ever since I reviewed Everlane’s denim last year, I was hoping they’d come out with something stretchier. Well, Everlane read my mind (and probably many other people’s) and released their Authentic Stretch jeans this September.
Last weekend when I was at Target, I only had time to try on one pair of jeans from their new denim line, Universal Thread. But that didn’t satiate my curiosity. So I went back and tried on their $24.99 high-rise skinny jeans, which comes in three washes: dark wash, medium wash, and black.
Target has rolled out another new brand called Universal Thread. It’s an ambitious attempt to tackle denim, with a wide range of sizes and styles to flatter different body shapes. Target describes the brand as “do-good denim,” but is it?
In September, Everlane started selling jeans, which makes a lot of sense for a brand known for basics. It’s a wardrobe staple a lot of us can’t live without. But it took them two years to source a factory for their denim because they were searching for an environmentally-friendly factory.
Earlier this year, I reviewed some Everlane T-shirts and noticed that one of them had a small hole at the bottom in the front. This is not the first time a shirt has developed a hole in this area. Perhaps it had something to do with my jeans. Was the button on my jeans rubbing my T-shirt? Well, there’s a solution for that. A company out of the UK called Holé makes silicone button covers.
