13 Everlane Gifts For Everyone On Your Holiday Shopping List

If your love language isn’t gift-giving, the holiday season can be tricky to navigate. While some spend an entire year plotting the best way to bundle up their affection for others, delivering it in the form of a perfect present, others simply don’t have the same knack for getting it right year after year. But if you’re in the latter camp, let us introduce you to the dependable holiday hack that gives Santa a run for his money: the Gift Shop at Everlane.

Perhaps you know and love the eco-fabulous retailer for its capsule-building wardrobe basics of covetable sweaters and vintage-inspired jeans. There are many pieces to obsess over when perusing Everlane’s cyber shelves, but don’t forget the brand’s array of accessories — from hats to scarves to shoes to travel pouches. Along with the brand’s stylish attire, the accessories also hold the secret to a successful gifting season. No matter who you’re shopping for, Everlane has something for everyone, and we’ve rounded up 13 picks that are sure to please in the present department. So scroll on through and shop your way to Santa status this year.

The ReNew Catch-All Case, $35

Why shoppers love it: “This little guy is an organizational must-have when it come[s] to traveling. How I lived so long without it is beyond me, but I’m so glad to have it in my life now,” writes a reviewer.

Why your giftee will love it: All the travelers in your life will adore this quaint pouch that features five interior drop-in pockets and one exterior zip pocket. The best part is that the case has snaps, so it’s perfect for compact travel.

The Felted Merino Beanie, $50

Why shoppers love it: “I love this beanie from how it fits, feels, and the color. It’s not too tight. It fits nice and snug without crushing my ears against the stems of my glasses. Also it keeps my head nice and cozy warm and the beanie is surprisingly soft,” writes a reviewer.

Why your giftee will love it: A hug for your head! Cold weather is no match for this cozy yet durable beanie made of super-soft extra-fine merino wool.

The Cashmere Bandana, $50

Why shoppers love it: “Perfect sized. I ordered in black, of course. The bandana is soft and warm. You never know when the weather is going to turn on you these days. Aside from wearing it, I’ve been tying it on my handbag strap when I leave to go out. It has turned unexpectedly cold afternoons into stylish and beautiful autumn days. I loved it so much that I just bought it as a gift for a cherished friend. It’s a must-have item, as it’s luxurious and practical,” writes a reviewer.

Why your giftee will love it: Made from 100% cashmere, this pseudo-scarf is super-soft on the skin and light enough to wear all day. It’s a staple for cold dressing, as it comes in three neutral hues of heather gray, camel, and black.

The Alpaca Crew, $110 $77

Why shoppers love it: “I really like the oversized fit on this one, and actually prefer it to the regular alpaca crews from last season, which were a little short on me (5’9″). This camo pattern is striking while still being neutral, and this piece is great over a tee,” writes a reviewer.

Why your giftee will love it: Take note from Ross Geller from Friends. A sweater can never go wrong — especially when it’s a plushy one in a quirky camo print.

The ReNew Transit Backpack, $95

Why shoppers love it: “I love this pack — it fits all of my essentials for commuting to and from work. It’s my gym bag, work bag, and life bag all in one. It’s also super comfortable and lightweight — and I love how it fits so much but keeps a narrow profile,” writes a reviewer.

Why your giftee will love it: Everyone has that one friend who carries countless things. A journal, workout clothes, an iPad, not one but two water bottles, and various tech gadgets — you name it. Hence, gift them a replica of Hermione’s never-ending bag of items in a sleek backpack. 

The ReNew Long Liner, $198 $139

Why shoppers love it: “This jacket is a dream. Warm, lightweight, and easy to style. It is slightly oversized and easy to wear with bulky layers (sweaters/jumpers, dresses, etc). It is warm enough for NYC fall or a southern winter. Highly recommend,” writes a reviewer.

Why your giftee will love it: Upgrade their beloved quilted jacket to a luxe below-the-knee one they’ll absolutely adore.

The ReNew Quilted Liner Jacket, $128 $64

Why shoppers love it: “It’s a great transitional piece. Warm enough for those colder days but not too heavy to make you sweat. It’s made out of high quality material and the pockets are nice and deep.”

Why your giftee will love it: Thought we forgot about your dad, brother, significant other, or best friend? The men in your life should have an elevated quilted jacket of their own to brag about. Plus, it’s made from recycled plastic, which is a bonus for any eco-conscious friends.

The Organic Cotton Crew|Uniform, $30+

Why shoppers love it: “I’ve worn a lot of tees but this one is by far the best overall in terms of fit, comfort, quality and price. The sleeve length is just right, not too long or short. The fabric also is light and comfortable. Everlane will be my first choice from now on,” writes a reviewer.

Why your giftee will love it: We understand the struggle of gifting guys who always respond to the question of what do you want this year with “just get me anything.” What does that even mean? You might not know, but one thing is for sure, they’ll be thrilled with simple everyday T-shirts that they can wear 365 days of the year. For a limited time, you can buy three for $60 for that finicky sibling or best friend.

The Italian Leather Day Ballet Flat, $140

Why shoppers love it: “I have been searching for the perfect ballet flats with soft leather and nice leather soles. These are perfect, just what [I] was I was looking for! Also, love the subtle squared toe as well as the fit/comfort. I can’t wait to break these in so they’re even more comfortable,” writes a reviewer.

Why your giftee will love it: The buttery-soft leather of this sleek shoe has been updated with a thinner Napa leather, so it comfortably molds to your feet for ultimate wearability. If your giftee is interested in hopping on the ballet flat trend, they’ll adore this shoe.

The Perform Legging, $68

Why shoppers love it: “It’s my first time buying these pants and they’re great so far. Super lightweight and thin, but the material feels really strong. It has a great fit, very smoothening and sculpting, and comfortable too. 10/10 would recommend and repurchase. I got the black and light green shade when they had a deal going on. I’m typically a size 8 in pants (160 lbs/5′ 7.5″ tall) and I bought a medium,” writes a reviewer.

Why your giftee will love it: The workout fanatic in your life will appreciate Everlane’s renowned premium performance leggings that feature an extra-high waist, an interior pocket, and a lightweight, airy compression. Of course, it has flawless sweat-wicking properties. For a limited time, you can gift them two pairs for $98.

The Silky Cotton Relaxed Shirt, $85

Why shoppers love it: “This is my third Silky Cotton Relaxed Shirt. They launder beautifully (I hang to dry). Also it lasts forever. It’s wonderful under sweaters or blazers and definitely can be casual or dressy. The shirt is as soft as silk and very lightweight,” shares a reviewer. “In Florida I can wear these all year. Sizing is somewhere between true-to-size and running a bit large. I bought a 12 which is a teeny touch smaller than normal [for] me. The fit is not sloppy but not fitted either. Absolutely perfect.”

Why your giftee will love it: They’ll surely thank you for a new, much-needed button-down to add to their collection of office attire. Unlike their typical stiff one-print or one-color piece, Everlane’s Silky Cotton Shirt is slightly boxy with a contrasting white collar and cuffs for a polished, preppy look.

The Italian Leather Chelsea Boot, $195

Why shoppers love it: “Obsession is an understatement. These buttery soft boots are so soft yet sturdy, and the color elevates any outfit. I love the sole to help on snow/ice. True to size,” writes a reviewer.

Why your giftee will love it: Don’t expect any pesky blisters with Everlane’s Italian Leather Chelsea Boot. Since the shoe is made out of silver-rated napa leather from Florence, Italy — fancy — it’s comfortable and buttery soft.

The Italian Leather Studio Bag, $250

Why shoppers love it: “I love this bag! I bought it to use as my bag for work. It fits my laptop and has plenty of room for everything else I need to take with me. Also, the thick strap is really comfortable and doesn’t dig into my shoulder, making it a lot easier to commute with this bag. I would definitely recommend,” writes a reviewer.

Why your giftee will love it: A stylish and hands-free home for all their essentials: laptop, phone, keys, wallet, hand sanitizer — the list goes on.

Nordstrom Is A Gold Mine For The Best Winter Styles

When it comes to one-shop fashion stops, no other retailer shows up as Nordstrom does. It’s where you can casually pick up chic wares, from seasonal basics to office essentials to wedding guest attire during a single sitting. It’s no wonder the shopping process is so seamless — the institution offers everything from budget-friendly buys to high-end investment pieces. There’s something for everybody across every lifestyle category. The price points are reasonable and often delightfully discounted. The curation is abundant and top-notch. The customer experience is stellar. We can keep going, but those are just a few reasons why we here at Refinery29 keep returning to this juggernaut time and time again.

Recently, we discovered the treasure trove that is Nordstrom Made, the conglomerate of Nordstrom’s in-house fashion brands comprised of Nordstrom SignatureZellaOpen Edit, and others. A rep at Nordstrom Made previously told R29 that the majority of styles from these subsidiary labels are developed based on actual customer feedback. Any and all shoppers’ concerns are also taken into account: Sustainability, corporate social responsibility, size inclusion, and affordability are some of the main issues that are consistently being addressed with every release. And for these colder months especially, Nordstrom Made has low-key revealed itself to be one of the best places to stock up on crucial winter styles at prime prices.

The selection is so impressive that we went ahead and pulled 11 winter styles we’re personally looking to add to our wardrobes ASAP. Fan-favorite joggers, deluxe cashmere knits, and a nightgown that doubles as a holiday dress are just some of the hand-picked items that might pique your interest as well. Consider this an apt opportunity to round out your winter arsenal — or at least eyeball a few styles you may want to add to your gift wishlist.

Open Edit Relaxed Fit Blazer, $79

If you don’t own a simple black blazer already, this is your sign to add one to your closet. This one from Open Edit is structured with strong shoulders but it’s also soft and comfy to keep wearing for hours on end.

Nordstrom Signature Cashmere & Cotton Blend Knit Skirt, $199

We’re about to put you onto a major secret: Nordstrom Signature is a gold mine for cashmere. This midi skirt with a fluted, mermaid-ish silhouette is made of a scrumptious cashmere-cotton blend, which we imagine would pair lovely with a cropped sweater or a boxy blouse on top.

Caslon Funnel Neck Cotton Blend Sweater, $59

Perhaps you wouldn’t believe it at first glance, but this cozy sweater is completely machine-washable. (Yes, even with the hint of wool that’s blended throughout!) “Excellent sweater. Flattering fit that has a loose casual look but isn’t boxy. Really soft and not scratchy. Well priced and doesn’t need dry cleaning! Wish there were more colors, really love this sweater,” writes one reviewer.

Zell Live In Pocket Joggers, $65

One of Zella’s star items is this pair of joggers, which boasts 4.5 out of 5 stars and a whopping 1434 reviews. Needless to say, it’s a must for winter. “The Zella Live in Jogger Pants are absolutely an excellent wardrobe staple! Honestly, I can’t truly call these pants ‘joggers’ … because the material is NOT the same as sweatpants. The Zella Live In Jogger Pants have a much more refined styled silhouette,” writes one reviewer.

Shop sweatpants at Nordstrom

Nordstrom Rib Long Sleeve Midi Sweater Dress, $129

Winter dress season is upon us, and this ribbed midi made of 90% wool and 10% cashmere is a customer pick with a 4.5 out of 5-star rating. “I love the fit, it’s relaxed, not bodycon, while still maintaining a feminine silhouette,” writes a reviewer. “It’s extremely versatile; heels, flats, boots, blazer, jean jacket, belt, jewelry…endless options. I have a thick leather belt that looks great with this dress. There’s a textured wide vertical ribbing pattern that’s flattering. It’s an elegant piece.”

Shop dresses at Nordstrom

Nordstrom Signature Wool & Cashmere Cable Knit Sweater, $249

If you haven’t noticed, we’re still on a cashmere kick! This sweater, which takes its design inspiration from a half-zip pullover and a cable-knit, is just our style for a slightly preppy (but still extremely cozy) look.

BP. Snap Front Puffer Vest, $69

A puffer vest is one of those handy fashion items you don’t realize can be worn with virtually anything. We especially love this style from BP. because of its slightly capped sleeve, cross-body quilting, and slick material made from recycled fibers.

Shop outerwear at Nordstrom

Nordstrom Signature Cashmere Cable Cardigan, $259

We cannot lie — doesn’t this cashmere cardigan from Nordstrom Signature look like a dupe of another premium cashmere sweater that’s hundreds of dollars more? Writes one satisfied shopper, “Love the substantial weight of the sweater and the side slits. Great for layering.”

Nordstrom Wool & Cashmere Cardigan, $199

If you love traditional pieces as much as we do, you can’t miss out on this cashmere-wool blend coatigan, which we feel could be a fabulous purchase for in-office layering since it wears like a robe but winks like a long blazer.

Nordstrom Moonlight Eco Long Sleeve Nightgown, $89

Here’s a hot tip for the holidays: Nordstrom Made has a whole collection of sleepwear for the entire family, like adorable matching pajamas. Imagine our surprise when we spotted this “nightgown” in the stacks. Much too charming for indoor wear, we say — we hope to see this frock making its round at holiday parties.

Open Edit Drawstring Wide Leg Pants, $49

On the topic of comfy clothes disguised as formal wear, these wide-leg dress pants are actually super casual with a drawstring tie and an elastic waist. (Listen, nobody will know unless they look real closely.)

The 19 Most Covetable Fall Sweaters On The Internet

When it comes to uncovering the most-wanted stuff for fall, there's a particularly iconic image that comes to mind: Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal wearing twin fisherman sweaters, circa 1989, in When Harry Met Sally.
