10 Everlane Denim Reviews

Have you ever spent $120 on a pair of jeans that doesn’t fit quite right? Yeah, me too. After spending too much money on jeans over the years, I was frustrated that I still didn’t have that perfect pair. 

Then came Everlane denim at $68 a pair. Besides the good price point, Everlane jeans feature thick, durable denim and the quality that I expect from everything I buy there. Another huge plus is that they’re a more sustainable denim option, made with less waste, renewable energy and 98% recycled water. 

Also, Everlane has free returns on exchanges, so if I need a size larger or smaller, it’s easy and free to exchange them for another pair. You can easily order two sizes and return the one that doesn’t fit. And another bonus: Everlane has models in a variety of sizes — you can even choose which size you want to view the denim in (0, 2, 6, or 10)!

How do Everlane jeans fit?

In my experience, most styles of Everlane jeans and pants run a tad big. I stick to my true size in the skinny jeans and size down in the others (90s Cheeky, etc.). They have three lengths in most of their jeans, and their pants tend to run on the shorter side.

Their denim does not shrink! And they do not stretch out like thinner, cheaper denim does! The 100% cotton styles (like the Cheeky) are rigid but stretch slightly after lots of wear. 

The claim to have butt-boosting styles and I would say that’s generally true, especially, as the name implies, the Cheeky styles.

Most of their styles have a high waist of at least 11 inches although they’re always ahead on trends, so as rises get lower, Everlane will have you covered!

THE GIST: Everlane’s denim shines with these three styles:

The way-high skinnies, Way High Sailors, and 90s cheeky jeans are my favorites, but a lot of people are loving their new baggy fit denim.

Everlane Way-High Skinny Jeans (on sale!)

I LOVE these jeans! I usually wear a 27-28 and got these in the 28 Curvy, ankle length.

I finally found a pair of jeans that fits me perfectly. I put these on and it feels like I’m wearing nothing — this is huge for me because usually jeans pull or flare in the wrong places.

How do the Everlane Way-High Skinny jeans fit?

The waist is super high, which feels more comfortable to me because there’s no need to pull these up, ever! Basically, these fit like a glove!

The medium blue color is very soft thanks to the Ecovero blend (organic cotton + Viscose). The stretch is just right–not too tight, but they don’t stretch out after wear.

I also have them in black (ash), but they are not as soft and strangely are a little longer than the blue. 

For me, the lesson I learned from trying lots of jeans and finally finding these is to use the size chart carefully. Everlane posts the garment measurements for all their items (click Size Chart and then “Garment” at the bottom to see specific measurements for the item you want to buy). When I looked at the measurements for these jeans, I couldn’t believe that they matched my proportions so exactly! 

The verdict: Yes! These jeans are so comfortable, so flattering, great price at only $68 (or less when on sale!)

Everlane 90s cheeky jeans: (Love!)

I finally found a style of straight jeans that work for my body! The fit of the 90s Cheeky is so much better for my body than Everlane’s regular Cheeky jeans. I got the 90s Cheeky in white and the light wash, which is my favorite pair of jeans right now. These are just slightly loose fitting so take your usual size or one down.

The material gets softer with wear. I’ve had these for more than a year and they still fit great and feel softer than ever.

How do the Everlane 90s Cheeky jeans fit?

I love the fit on these! They’re the perfect balance between a skinny jean and a relaxed jean. Note that they fit differently from the regular Cheeky jean — unlike the regular Cheeky, the 90s Cheeky fits straighter through the thigh, so on me it’s a much better fit without a lot of extra room in the legs. They fit true to size, so on me I took my regular size, 27. The waist comes above my belly button, so the rise is one of the highest that Everlane makes. 

As the Cheeky name implies, these will accentuate your butt (in a good way!)!

Note that they’re 100% cotton, which means that they don’t really stretch and they don’t shrink in the dryer. As always, it’s a good idea to check the Size Chart on Everlane’s website.

The verdict: Yes! These are my favorite jeans for everyday wear. The quality is fantastic for the price at $98.

Everlane Way High Sailor Jeans: my current faves!

I own two pairs of these jeans — in a shorter and longer length — and LOVE them!

The fabric: Fantastic! Soft, substantial, no stretch. It feels like these jeans will last!

The washes: classic washes, no whiskering or cheap-looking washes

The fit: With a high rise, cheeky fit, and slimming front, the top of these jeans is really flattering. The most flattering and slimming of all the Everlane jeans I’ve tried.

The legs do bag out below the hips, which is how they are supposed to be.

A word about the lengths: I bought both lengths and find them to make completely different looks. I love the shorter length for summer with these Birks or these cute clogs. The longer length is slimming and great for work.

How do they fit? Take your usual size. There is some variation in the way the washes fit: the darker wash is larger than the lighter wash.

The verdict: Yes, these are flattering and well made jeans! I especially like the dark wash in the longer length for work.

Everlane Curvy 90s Cheeky 

 After putting on some weight during lockdown, I’ve been wanting to try Everlane’s Curvy jeans to see if they would fit better than my jeans that are now a little tight. I love the Everlane 90s Cheeky but found that the curvy style does not work on my body. 

How do Everlane curvy jeans fit?

Definitely a smaller waist, larger hip ratio!

So basically the deal with their Curvy line is that you have to look carefully at the Size Guide (located right next to the sizes listed for the jeans you’re looking at) and figure out if your body shape will work, and order based on the largest part. For me, these jeans don’t work because there’s too much material in the lower hips/thighs yet the waist is a little snug. The regular 90s Cheeky fit me better (see above).

Like the 90s Cheeky, the butt on these jeans is great, and they come in two lengths. I ordered the ankle length (I’m 5’3″) but felt they were almost too short. 

The verdict? I love the 90s Cheeky, and the Curvy is a great addition to their denim. Check the Size Guide! These may or may not work for your body shape.

Everlane Cheeky Jeans

The Cheeky jeans were one of Everlane’s classic fits with a high waist, flattering butt and less “mom-jean” look than the 90s Cheeky. But recently the original Cheeky jeans (now on sale) got a makeover. The new Cheeky jeans look amazing on the models, but I found them to be hit and miss for me.

How do Everlane Cheeky jeans fit?

The good news: they’re high waisted (11.75″), great in the butt, and have a slimmer fit through the legs than the old Cheeky jeans. They’re made from organic cotton. They come in 3 lengths and several washes.

The bad news: the waist was too high on me, resulting in extra fabric in the front. The fit in the waist and hips felt tight and uncomfortable. The denim is organic cotton but felt a little rough, not soft and sturdy like the old Cheekies. Because the waist is so high, you need to check the size chart carefully to make sure the waist to hip ratio will work for you.

The verdict? I still want to love these jeans. They’re exactly what I was looking for with a slim fit, organic cotton, and high waist. Check the size chart and give them a go!

Everlane Way-High Clean-Front Skinny Jeans 

I love high-waisted pants and skinny jeans…but I honestly did not like the way-high skinnies!

The Way-High Clean-Front Skinnies have a 11.75″ high rise, which I love because it sits above my belly-button and I never feel like I need to hike up my jeans. Like many Everlane jeans, these flatter the butt with slightly high-set back pockets. However, I had to return them for two reasons.

First, I wasn’t crazy about the material. This stretchy denim felt different from their authentic stretch denim, and I noticed on the website that this new iteration is 55% Organic Cotton, 25% Viscose, 18% Recycled Polyester, 2% Elastane, which is less cotton than I like in my denim. Hats off to Everlane for using organic cotton, though!

Second, these jeans did not look good on me (but, naturally, they look amazing on the model!). The combination of the high waist and no front pockets made my tummy/hip area look bigger, and the jeans come in only one length (28.5″), a little too long on my 5’3″ frame. 

The verdict?: For me, no. I hate to say this, but I think these jeans would look great on a taller, thinner person but maybe not so great on the rest of us. I’d try the black wash for a slimmer look.

If you want to try these jeans, I’d recommend sizing up (or, if you have the authentic stretch jeans, get the same size that you have in those).

Everlane Way-High Jeans

The Way-High Jeans are comfortable and soft, but the straight yet baggy silhouette doesn’t work well on my body type. I prefer the lines of the Way High Sailor (above) or Way High Slim.

They have Everlane’s highest rise at 12″! They come in a variety of washes — I got them in the distressed which is a nice distressed wash because they have just a few signs of wear (no big holes). Another bonus of the distressed wash is that the raw hem means I can cut them off more to make them shorter.

I really like this material! It’s the perfect happy medium of thick and substantial without being stiff. The fabric is super soft, made of 98% Organic Cotton (yes!), 2% Elastane. 

How do Everlane Way-High Jeans fit?

The Way High jeans have a slightly oversized fit that you’ll recognize if you’ve ordered their Cheeky jeans. I recommend going by the size chart and choosing based on your widest part since you can always get the waist taken in.

The inseam is 27.5″, great for me but maybe too short for taller people. For now, all their Way-High denim comes in only one inseam.

The verdict? Maybe. I really like everything about these jeans (the material, color, wash, high rise) except that the fit was not flattering on me.

Everlane authentic stretch skinny jeans review (on sale!)

These are THE BEST jeans! I wear them all the time but recently transitioned to the 

Not only is the authentic stretch extremely comfortable, they are slimming. This are slim fitting so take your usual size or one up.

My first pair was the Authentic Stretch in washed black.  I love the washed black color, especially when paired with an oversized black sweater, but I also ordered them in dark blue (see below), black, and deep indigo. The black ones are my go-to jeans right now — they’re slimming and so easy to wear with anything.

How do the authentic stretch skinny jeans fit?

The fabric doesn’t look like a stretch jean, but when I have them on, they pull me in without feeling constricting. The butt is super flattering, there’s no extra fabric anywhere, and the 11″ high rise is perfect — no pulling the jeans up like I have to do in jeans with a regular or mid-rise inseam. I’m 5’3″ and the ankle fit is exactly right.

About sizing … these are very slim fitting, so you might need to size up. I had a hard time with sizing and think that there’s some variation depending on the wash. I wear a 28 in the black, but a 28 in dark blue and deep indigo is too big. Note that these jeans don’t shrink much in the wash/dryer and stretch out just a tiny bit after a full day of wear.

Everlane also makes these in a curvy fit. This might be good if you have a smaller waist and larger hips/upper thighs. 

I wear these jeans all the time, and the best part is that they’re versatile enough that I can wear them for casual outings or to work. On weekends, I throw on the super soft, fluffy Everlane alpaca crew or cashmere crew and my retro trainers or Allbirds. For work, I wear these with a button-up shirt tucked in and the comfortable Day Glove flats.

The verdict: Yes! These are the best jeans I’ve ever owned and are a steal at $34. I wish the sizing were more consistent, but the jeans are very flattering and comfortable, and they don’t lose their shape or color.

Everlane Easy Jeans 

I love these jeans! They are exactly what I wanted in jeans this year — for those days when I have to get dressed but still want to be comfortable. They remind me of something I wore in the early 80s, and I love it!

And they’re 100% organic cotton, which is better for the planet than regular cotton and is so super soft. 

The Easy Jeans come in sizes 00-16, in one length (28.5″ inseam), and in colors bone, deep sea (above), and washed charcoal.

How do Everlane Easy Jeans fit?

Size down! They fit a little big and have some extra material in the front. I usually wear a 4 or 6 in pants or a 27-28 in Everlane jeans and took these in a size 4. They fit great but could be a little smaller, so I shrank them a bit in the dryer.

Because I’m 5’3″, I was worried that they’d be way too long on me, but the inseam is just 28.5″ and they fall at my ankle. (Update: I dried them and the length has come up a bit, so be aware if you wash and dry these!)

The elastic waist band is not tight at all and sits right at my natural waist. 

My only complaint is that the front rise of the jeans is long for my body, so there is a little too much fabric from the waist to the crotch, but that’s partly because I’m a little shorter than the jeans were made for. 

The verdict? Yes. These jeans are so cute, soft, and comfortable, and they’re organic cotton! At $60, they’re a great deal!

The verdict about Everlane denim: there’s so much to love about Everlane denim: the fit, the colors, and the quality fabric. But what really sells me is the price (starting at $68!) and the fact that they’re made with less waste and in a factory I can trust.

Here’s what they say about their sustainable production of denim: “Safer For The Environment: Our denim factory partner recycles 98% of their water using reverse osmosis filtration and keeps byproducts out of the environment by mixing them with concrete to create building materials. Reduced CO2 Emissions: The LEED-certified factory that makes our denim uses renewable energy and air drying to reduce its CO2 emissions by 80%.”
