 "Michael Preysman is like the Woody Allen of entrepreneurs," he says. "I've seen this level of talent before, and at such a young age it's amazing to watch and mentor, as well as learn from myself." Brian Sugar, CEO of media company Popsugar and an Everlane investor



The apparel basics (white shirts, tee-shirts, shoes, pants) of a wardrobe drives creative measures when devising "the outfit" for any given day.  Wouldn't it be grand if "the basics" were manufactured from the the highest form of quality materials used for designer favorites and available at almost half of the cost to the consumer?  Everlane - like - Warby Parker (see blog) has achieved this breaking ground opportunity for the customer by developing an "online only" apparel company that distributes high end basics directly to the customer - you!   It is widely known that traditional apparel sold through brick and mortar stores can be marked up between eight to ten times what it costs to produce a beautiful piece.    Not to downplay the importance department stores it is just another way for the Forever Chic Style maven to obtain high end quality staples for a classic working wardrobe.  Remember the basics are essential and everything else is "frosting on a cake".  In other words, seek out superb basics and "add in" other glorious and fresh pieces from department stores or boutiques to the timeless daily fashion ensemble.


About "Everlane"

***Added my referral link.

The mission of "Everlane" online is to provide affordable fashion (totes, leather belts, white tee-shirts, shirts, pants etc.,) to men and women while highlighting the care instructions, the height of the model in photographs, thread count, and where the product is constructed.   Michael Preysman, founder of Everlane, studied engineering and economics, lived in Manhattan and decided after a stint in private equity to build a fashion label in the City of Angels (Los Angeles). The fabrics are of the highest quality and produced in the best factories around the world - the very same ones that produce the favored designer labels.  Consequently, Everlane's sales have grown 200 percent in 2014 over 2013, and the company plans to add 30 additional staffers by the end of the year, and it just opened a design office in New York City.

 The Ultimate Apparel Piece in a Closet - White Shirt

"Anyone can get dressed up and glamorous, but it is how people dress in their days off that are the most intriguing." —Alexander Wang

 





II.  The Indispensable Classic Shirt:  A wardrobe without a crisp and elegant button down shirt in white, black and yes - pale pink will be lacking everything required for Spring 2015.   A button down can be thrown over a tank, paired with jeans, black pants and  Bermuda's.  Add a scarf, jewelry and a pair of sun glasses for an Audrey Hepburn moment.  In other words, a classic shirt is required in a Forever Chic Style wardrobe.  Traditional Cost: $150 Everlane Cost:  $60
