Want to look chic for travel, trips to the office or Sunday brunch while feeling as comfy as you did in your sweats on Zoom? It’s possible, thanks to Eileen Fisher clothing, the brand that’s shed its dowdy image and evolved to be exactly what women of all ages want right now: simple, flattering separates made of quality fabrics, all manufactured and sold in a sustainable business model. We looked at the brand with fresh eyes when multiple women in our office started wearing this selling-like-hotcakes top, and discovered that the company’s simple styles included tall and petite sizing, a clothes recycling program and, perhaps most importantly, many, many trousers with elastic waistbands.

Below, we’ve gone over the new crop of EF fashion for late summer and early fall and have selected our favorite pieces to shop—because while we love Barbiecore, we’re opting for a more elevated minimalist style when it comes to meeting the boyfriend’s parents.

The 15 Most Comfortable Bras for All Sizes

1. Organic Cotton Gauze Box-top

It’s so lightweight we can wear it on the hottest days and not show up looking like a puddle. And the box shape, a fan favorite at Eileen Fisher, is cropped enough to cover our waistband but not make us look shapeless. Another plus is that it’s perfect to layer over a longer cami or long-sleeved top.

Size range: XXS to 3X

2. Organic Cotton Gauze Wide-leg Pant

These matching trousers coordinate with the EF box top above, but they’d also look kicky with a fitted T-shirt. Whatever you wear them with, they have an elegant drape and are your best friend in comfort due to the 1.5-inch elastic drawstring waist.

Size range: PP to 3X

3. Silk Georgette Crepe Shirred-back Top

Three words for you: washable silk crepe. We adore crepe for its pleasant nubby feel and its knack for hanging on the body without clinging and moving nicely when you do. That gathering on the back is so chic, we’ll be layering this over a tissue turtleneck well into fall.

Size range: XXS to 3X

4. Washable Stretch Crepe High-waisted Pant

The perfect pair of pants to wear everywhere from a casual date (with a vintage band t-shirt and statement earrings) to a job interview (with a flowing silk shirt and jacket). Comfortable, high-waist enough that there’s no uncomfortable midsection exposure and stretchy enough to relax in, extra glass of wine be damned. All that and machine washable in three endlessly coordinating tones: graphite, ocean and black.

Size range: PP to 3X

5. Organic Cotton Slubby Rib Knit Crew Neck Tank

Ever since we saw this fun layering tutorial on Instagram, we’re seeing this medium-weight tank top as a three-season essential: Wear it on its own on the hottest days, over a T-shirt in transitional weather and over a button-down for a back-to-school fall vibe.

Size range: XXS to 3X

6. Organic Cotton Silk Cord Cropped Cardigan

This silk and cotton cardi is endlessly versatile. It’s great to throw on over anything bare, obvi, but it also looks like an intentional fashion statement when it’s paired with a long tunic worn over matching black pants.

Size range: XXS to 3X

7. Woven Plisse Mock Neck Dress

Rock a look that says “I’m a gallery owner, ask me about this exhibit” with this crinkly Tencel blend tunic-dress. The fabric is lightweight enough to layer, but substantial enough to hang nicely over a pair of skinny pants and, come fall, under a chunky knit. Like so many Eileen Fisher pieces, it’s machine washable.

Size range: XXS to 3X

8. Airy Organic Cotton Twill Jacket

More fabrication magic: Eileen Fisher’s twill is so lightweight, it feels like chambray yet retains the crisp shaping of this boxy design. This versatile iteration of the French work coat is cropped so that it doesn’t add bulk to your hips, with cuffs that roll up to really get to work.

Size range: PP to 3X

9. Airy Organic Cotton Twill Wide-leg Pant

If you combined jeans and pajama bottoms, the result would be this pair of trousers that have a stretch waist but are slender through the hips. So you’re covered, cool and practically set to pair this neutral trouser with every top in your closet.

Size range: XXS to 3X

10. Hemp Organic Cotton Grid Long Shirt

The hemp in this mandarin collar shirt makes it look tweedy, but the lightweight softness from cotton means it’s much more wearable than scratchy winter pieces. We’re wearing this as a jacket over a tank until fall.

Size range: PP to 3X

The cap sleeves are perfect, the high neckline universally flattering and the length just grazes the hips, in micro-pleated fabric that hangs away from the body for an elegant look. Bonus: Small slits on the side let the top flow with your body movement.

Size range: XXS to 3X
