GEAR: Levi’s Commuter Fall 2015 Collection

After six seasons of developing cycling product strictly for men, Spring 2015 saw the first capsule collection of Commuter product designed specifically for gals. The line includes a skinny jean, technical windbreakers and jackets, and breathable knits such as raglan t-shirts with longer dropped hems and breathable crewneck sweatshirts.

This fall, the line for women has since expanded. Not only…

Uniform

A favorite go-to outfit that you wear 80% of the time, will also probably make up at least 80% of your closet if you have a capsule wardrobe.  For me, defining this uniform was all about hammering out the silhouette.  I landed on oversized or billowy layers on top and flat shoes.  It works for my everyday life, makes me feel confident and comfortable, and I don't have to think about it.  While I knew pants were an absolute part of my uniform, I couldn't decide whether I prefer them drapey or skinny.  Oh well.  I think it's okay to have variations so long as each version still fits you. 

Note:  None of the items pictured above are in my actual capsule wardrobe.  I choose new products as examples to distinguish this from an "outfit post" proper.

Introducing #EverydayUniform.

In six days, we’re introducing three brand-new silk styles for women and thirteen new patterns for men's Slim Fit shirts. It's a big one. Both collections stem from the idea of an everyday uniform. We believe everyone has one.

Share your #EverydayUniform on Instagram by staging a creative self-portrait and tag us. We’ll contact 20 people with the best portraits and let them choose a shirt or silk blouse from the new collections before the launch. 

Here’s how it works:

Stage a creative self-portrait wearing your #EverydayUniform.

Write a story of how it relates to your day-to-day and throw in @everlane with the hashtag #EverydayUniform.

Share it on Instagram.

Some tips to get you started: 

Look for natural, soft light. Rooms with big windows work well.

Get crafty with the surroundings and composition to let your personality come through.

You don't have to be holding the phone to take the portrait. Ask a friend to take the final photo once you've set up. You can also try using a mobile tripod with a timer.
