Modeling Everlane’s Ryan Tee

As a features editor for JENESEQUA magazine, I have had the good fortune to work with amazingly talented and dedicated women. Recently, the never-tiring editor and founder of JENESEQUA, Melissa Middleton, organized a collaboration with Everlane, an online retail tee shirt company that specializes in making clothing of designer quality without the designer sticker price. With all price points under $100, they eliminate the middleman and can be found only online.
When the assignment to explain “How I Style My Everlane Tee”, I chose a look that would work dashing out to lunch with an editor as well as teaching a class of high school English students. With navy always being my go-to color and nude never a bad color choice, I included a pair of white cropped jeans for the season of spring and came up with the look you see above.
I had the opportunity of modeling a tee shirt from their latest collection – Ryan, and for only $25, I found this navy V-neck tee to be quite comfortable and easy to dress up as seen in my photos or worn more casually with shorts and sandals.
On a beautiful rare sunny day in Seattle, Melissa and four of her editors (including myself) met in the TC Creative studio for a photo shoot with photographer Michelle Moore and make-up and hairstylist Melissa Korn.
From around the country, each editor used their own approach to style to create a look that worked for them using an Everlane tee. From the outskirts of Seattle, fitness editor Nicole Wallace, from New York City, accessories editor Michelle Honig and from Los Angeles, fashion and lifestyle editor Daniela Hummel, each had their own, unique take on how to wear a simple tee shirt. View their looks here.
While we were all there to work, I couldn’t help soaking in the entire experience. I simply loved the views from the studio of a rather quaint street in Seattle, hearing the bustling of people, conversations and traffic and soaking up the sun as it streamed through the windows. It was a fun and productive morning followed by a satiating late lunch at Le Pichet to savor a glass of French rosé and sandwich en baguette before hopping on the plane to head home.
Below are a few images I captured on that day.
