This Clothing Brand Your Mom Loves Is Actually Good
Very, very good in fact.
by The Candidly Team
There are many things we want to tell you about this brand. And we have to do it really quickly before we tell you which brand, because we’re afraid you’ll just read the name and bail.
Ok. Here are the highlights:
It’s quality - not flimsy fast-fashion but pieces that are meant to be kept and washed and worn forever.
The cuts are clever - made to flatter real, curvy women with hips, butts, and belly pooches - the kind of clothes we feel good wearing.
The designs are a mix between classic and cute, understanding that we want to be comfy and kind of covered up but absolutely NOT look old and frumpy.
The size range goes from XXS to 3X. And it has petites.
Right, so that’s the gist. Time to name names.
It’s Eileen Fisher.
Questions? We’re sure you have a few. But if our wordy intro didn’t convince you to check them out, we have selected 9 pieces that are such solutions to our everyday dilemma of getting dressed that we’re sure you’ll be converted by the end of this article.
1. Garment-Dyed Organic Cotton Terry Funnel Neck Top
Note the length. This is something Eileen Fisher cleverly does with so many tops, giving them clean lines and an almost cropped length, which makes your waist look smaller and your legs look longer. Plus, the neckline reminds of this iconic look.
We don’t argue with Audrey. Throw on this top, and you’re chic, chic, chic.
Price: $168
2. Washable Flex Ponte Arch Pant
This curve/ barrel shape makes legs their finest, and our whole look comes off younger and more “cool girl” than when we wear a straight-leg ankle pant. They have an elastic waist, which is heaven and are made from doubleknit ponte which means they keep their tailored shape and last forever (hence them being more of an investment). They’re also machine washable, which is a huge relief for a pair of “nice” pants we intend to wear constantly and not spend $3,257 on dry cleaning over our lifetime.
Price: $218
3. Lightweight Boiled Wool Shawl Collar Vest in Regenerative Wool
It’s these kinds of pieces that exemplify the brains behind Eileen Fisher. The lines are super clean and the pockets nice and big, so there’s zero frump. It’s actually so skimming, and yet, you get all this extra tum and hip coverage. Wear it over fitted sweaters or long-sleeve tees and jeans or skirts. It works with everything, especially on days we feel bloated to our ankles but still want to look cute.
Price: $240
4. Washed Organic Cotton Poplin Classic Collar Short Shirt
Again, let’s talk about this length. No tuck required, and we look a million percent polished. White button-downs are a standalone way to look dignified and cool at the same time, and this one might be our new favorite.
Price: $158
5. Washed Organic Cotton Poplin A-Line Skirt
Elastic waists plus airy poplin are both an apple and pear-shaped gal’s dream. We love this poppy red color with the above white button-down, but it also comes in black, which we wear out in the evening instead of squeezing ourselves into a dress.
Price: $120
6. Garment-Dyed Organic Cotton Terry Cropped Box-Top
Gosh, we are boring you with all this talk about shirt length, but just look how this boxy cut is youthful and nipping instead of some sad, slouchy sweatshirt that makes us look like slobs.
Price: $168
7. Washable Flex Ponte Blazer
We want our blazers to look like they have structure, but all we want to feel in them is stretch. We need to be able to move our arms and shoulders and not feel constricted, and the flexible ponte in this one makes this possible. Plus, we get to look very smart throwing it over a white tee and jeans so we can recreate this look that we can’t stop copying these days:
Name that movie.
Price: $328
8. Pima Cotton Stretch Jersey Crew Neck Tee
The length. The length. The length. Also, that sleeve is unreal on a thicker arm. Trust us, it’s the only white tee you’ll reach for after you try it.
Price: $148
9. Sheer Silk Georgette Wrap
Have you gathered that we don’t always love showing our arms? This piece is perfection over a spaghetti strap dress or a black cami and jeans as a going-out top. Try it for a month, and you won’t be able to remember how you lived without it.
Price: $148
