Everlane

(12)
"Try secondhand shopping for brands like Everlane, Patagonia, and Thought, which emphasize sustainability."
"I can vouch for Everlane! Ive gotten a few items from there and I’ve been super impressed with the quality."
"Everlane is quite expensive, but genuinely good quality. I bought a light blush pink dress from their Japanese "goweave" line probably 5+ years ago and it's still in perfect condition."
"My best pieces are Everlane, Gap, and Madewell."
"I mix Everlane & Target with good results."
"Sezane, Emerson Fry, Everlane for tops and dresses."

"Uniqlo. Hands down my favorite place to shop when I lived in Canada."
"OBSESSED w uniqlo."

"Madewell is available at Nordstrom Rack for much cheaper!"
"I do love Madewell jeans and think they're worth the price."
"I love denim, dresses and leather from Madewell. I’ve found their sweaters tend to pill a lot and their Whisper T-shirts are not designed to last more than 1-2 seasons."
