Encircled clothing reviews - Encircled Dressy Pullover & Encircled Bamboo Rib Dressy Sweatsuit Review

Tomorrow encircled is releasing a new design, The Dressy Pullover (US/Global here Canadians here) and they describe it this way:

"This top features a wide, elegant boat neckline that can be worn on or off the shoulder, combined with cuffed raglan sleeves and a bandless waist, so you can tuck (or French tuck) without any restriction. We’re sure you’ll be pulling this one out of your closet as a go-to all year."

​It pairs with their famous Dressy Sweatpant design made in the same new sustainable Bamboo Rib Knit Fabric! 

​While I've decided the wide, boat necklines aren't for me (I'm not so much of an off-the-shoulder kind of girl, more of a snuggle up with a cozy scarf kind girl), I'm totally loving the texture of this new fabric and I'm excited to potentially see it brought to other designs! It would be nice to compare the feel and durability of the bamboo blend with modal (from beech tree pulp.

Building A Capsule Wardrobe - In Search Of: The Perfect Light Colored Button Up / Collared Shirt

1/13/2021

0 Comments

 
Please share your favorite button-up/buttown-down/women's collared dress shirt recommendations in the comments so we can build our best capsules! :)
Picture
In my younger years I never found a button up that I felt comfortable in, that fit and flattered my petite frame. I kind of assumed this universal staple just wasn't for me.  In 2019 I branched out and ordered a silk button up shirt in royal blue (review here) that I, surprisingly, enjoy so much that I decided a light (white/cream) button up is a wardrobe gap, an absolute necessity and staple for me to add this year (hopefully!) to my capsule wardrobe. 

Possible Options - Capsule Wardrobe Light Colored Button Up Addition

What I’m wondering ​

I'm wondering what my preferred fabric and style are. Remember, I'm new to the button up / button down world!
  • The Tradlands button-up shirts are really highly recommended and well-loved. My concern is they may be a stiffer fit than I'm looking for?
  • The Quince silk button-up shirts are very reminiscent in style to my Everlane silk (review here) which I like a lot! I wonder if it would be better to get the 100% silk or the stretch silk? Also, I would like to research the difference between Crepe de Chine Silk and Mulberry Silk Double Georgette .
  • The Comfy Dress Shirt from encircled, I know I would love. Look. At. That. DRAPE! It would be fantastic with a lot of my skirts (not to mention pants), but I don't think it would truly fill my dress shirt/ button up gap. I want something with a collar to layer under certain tops and dresses like my All Day Work Dress!
  • Not Perfect Linen has been on my radar for a while. They have a real loyal customer base and you can even send custom measurements which is awesome. I wonder, though, if linen is going to have the right drape and look for my primary use with dress clothes or will it come off too casual?
  • Everlane has at least 5 potential options and again it's going to come down to fabric (silk, cotton, linen) and fit.
  • Also, I'm wondering how I feel about pockets? Part of my says go for it, but another part is wondering if I won't like how they look and if they will create weird lumps when layering. So I'm leaning toward no pockets at this point.

Here’s What I’ve Tried So Far:

Nothing yet! Still in the researching and saving $$ phase, but drop a comment as to your favorites!

Encircled Legging Review Black XS January Closet Audit Capsule Wardrobe
Encircled Flipside Legging, no longer available but great option here (or here if you're Canadian)

Intentions:

Intention: The intention of the Closet Audit Capsule Wardrobe series is to assess the color, fit, style, and fabric of each garment.
Action: At the end of the month I will remove items I consistently don’t reach for, find unflattering, uncomfortable or in need of constant adjustment while wearing.

Additionally: This capsule also gives me the opportunity to try clothes from a recently received hand-me-down bag to give them an honest evaluation as to whether they are worthy of my in-progress closet curation.

Spreadsheet or StyleBook App: I'm also using this as an opportunity to start outfit tracking again whether in my Style Book app or a spreadsheet, to assess which clothing, footwear and other accessories I'm reaching for most and what the CPW is working out to be. Just a nerdy-fun thing .:)

Predictions:

I'm guessing this will be the year I finally shed some of the fast fashion cardigans I have a love-hate relationship with and items that are functional but I don't love, when I have alternatives available that I do love. 

Shoes I Reached For This Month: 

BIRKENSTOCK Women's Gizeh Thong Sandal Review - January Closet Audit Capsule Wardrobe
These Birkenstocks - the finish makes it surprisingly versatile and elevates a casual outfit a bit. They are also super comfy especially because of the wide and spacious footbed. (Note: Wearing these in January bc I’m home all day)
Rothys Marigold Point Review January Closet Audit Capsule Wardrobe
The Rothy’s Marigold points are a perfect match with my mustard sweater! See rothys FAQs here and get $20 off rothys here
Bali Elf Spirit Walker Bootie Review January Closet Audit Capsule Wardrobe
Emerald Handmade Vintage Style Leather Booties from etsy
Picture
Spenco Orthotic Arch Support Loafer - these are a little loose on me so they rub at the heel on my right foot (problem area for me) if I wear them a lot without thick socks, but they are great for wearing at home! All Spenco shoes have  wonderful, supportive footbeds and I highly recommend them - just get the right size ;) 

Discoveries

My first purchase with Encircled, my comfy blouse arrived promptly, and nicely packaged! 
The shirt itself is lovely! It’s soft, well cut, and it’s so comfortable to wear at the office. Love my new shirt! I want to wear it every day, but don’t worry I don’t, I wear it and then wash it like I should! ??‍♀️?

How To Build A Sustainable Capsule Wardrobe with Encircled

How To Build A Sustainable Capsule Wardrobe with Encircled Stylish & Sustainable Women's Clothing Brand Made In Canada
Encircled has really expanded their line recently and I wanted to share how you could make a capsule wardrobe from some of their staple pieces to fit your lifestyle and give you a lot of versatility. 

1. Choose Your Loungewear

The Dressy Sweatsuit from encircled has been wildly popular for some time, consisting of the famous dressy sweatpants and the dressy sweatshirt. I love the dressy sweatpants, but find that the neckline of the dressy sweatshirt is too wide for my frame and personal taste. So it was really exciting to see the Fair Jogger Set released this year. The hoodie has really thoughtful details and both the hoodie and  jogger seem like they would be a bit more snuggly than the other set. So if you are looking for more warmth and coziness, maybe try the fair jogger set, but if you like to look polished while feeling like you're wearing jammies, go for the dressy sweatsuit. The fair lounge set is a third option, that was just announced, but I think the fair jogger set and the dressy sweatsuit may be more versatile!  Use code GETCOMFY for the Dressy Sweatsuit ($274) Use code READYSETLOUNGE for the Fair Jogger Set ($248)

2. Choose Your Dressy, but Comfy Bottoms

A capsule wardrobe is all about versatile pieces. So when you need to go to the office for an important meeting (hopefully that's post-covid), you'll want one of these bottoms from encircled. The Dressy Sweatpants have spacious pockets, a hidden back zipper pocket, elegant ruching at the ankles, and front pleats. 
The All Day Wide Leg Pant looks excellent paired with pointed toe shoes for a professional look. Finally the Dressy Leggings are a practical legging with POCKETS, and are plastic free. They have nice style lines on them and if you're a legging kind of girl, then these will be up your alley!

3. Choose Your Classic Tees

The offerings here change depending on the time of the year, but you'll most likely want at least one sleeveless, one short sleeved, and one long sleeved option. I love that encircled is expanding into other fabric offerings so that you can let your cotton blend tee do the heavy lifting and splash out on luxe modals for everything else! 

​The Everyday Sleeveless Tee $74 The Everyday Long Sleeve Tee $90 The  Everyday Boxy Tee $82 The Everyday Tank Top $68 (on sale $49) The Fair Sleeveless $88 (on sale $62) The Fair Scoop Neck or V-Neck $35 (2 pack for $62)

4. Choose Your Classy Tops

Your classy tops are going to be the ones that really take your outfit up a notch, made from sustainable and super silky soft modal like the Comfy Blouse, the Evolve Top, or the newly released Comfy Dress Shirt. Sure, you can wear these tops every day and with jeans... But the fabric is so luxurious that they are perfect for business or special events!
​
The Comfy Dress Shirt - $134 The Comfy Blouse - $138  The Evolve Top - $128 (2 pack - $228)

5. Choose Your Layering Pieces

Layering pieces help your capsule wardrobe go farther whether that means making a sleeveless piece work in fall or winter or adding a totally different style vibe. If you are a creative, you'll. love the everyday twist top. Your imagination is the limit to how this multi-way wrap cardigan can be styled. Stay tuned for some ideas on how to style the everyday twist top. The Unblazer is a comfy way to look polished for anyone on zoom calls right now and the Unmoto Jacket adds crisp and edgy lines in all the right places!

The Everyday Twist Top $156 The Unblazer $288 The Unmoto Jacket $328

6. Choose Your Party Pieces

Hopefully you're only having parties on zoom right now or within your household. But when it's safe for anything else, encircled has a piece for you. Again, if you're creative, you'll love the Chrysalis Cardi, the original encircled piece. Endlessly versatile, the chrysalis Cardi can be styled into many different dress and skirt shapes. Do you like things more classic and polished? The breakaway wrap dress is your pick. Classic lines, flattering fit, reversible neckline, pockets... and the versatility of 2 pieces is added value! Not a dress girl? Comfy Jumpsuit is calling you! Add your favorite jewelry and I would add fun heels and you'll get tons of compliments! 

The Breakaway Wrap Dress - $228 with code WORRYFREE
The Chrysalis Cardi $169
The Comfy Jumpsuit $228

One Complete Capsule Wardrobe From Encircled - Best Value

It's pretty cool how far encircled has come and they keep releasing designs faster than I can keep up! They are also adding new colors to all time favorite designs. But everything they do is in small batch and is slow fashion, made in Canada which is great! 
If you want the best bang for your buck, here’s what I would do:

The Carry On Kit - use code PACKLIGHT to get The Chrysalis Cardi, The Dressy Sweatpant and The Evolve Top for just $338. That’s a crazy deal for these pieces.

The Fair Jogger Set - UseREADYSETLOUNGE to get The Fair Jogger and The Fair Hoodie for $248

Snag an everyday tank for $49 while they last, plus a 2-pack of the fair scoop neck or v -neck for $62, and the every day Longsleeve for $90 and one every day twist top for $156.

Capsule Wardrobe Shopping Tips

Think carefully about the colors you choose. You want them to coordinate well together. Whether that means that you get most black with a pop of color here and there, or mostly navy or gray with pops of color, just think carefully. Also check to make sure if you are buying a color in different items that the fabric and color name is the same.If you have about $1,000 you could lock in a pretty amazing capsule with these pieces, saving $150 with the KIT discounts.

PRO Tip: You can only use 1 discount at a time, so check out separately  for the kits.


Tight Budget? 

Wait, you don’t have $1,000 free right now? Me either. But if you do need to fill gaps in your wardrobe, think about what you would use most right now. Maybe it’s the Fair Jogger Set if you’re kicking it at home all the time. Or maybe you want to waitlist for the comfy dress shirt or the comfy blouse if you’re on a lot of zoom meetings.  Don’t just buy what is on sale or what is available at a kit discount if it’s not a color or style that actually suits your needs and life. :-) It’s a concept that is easy to understand but sometimes hard to apply. (Speaking from Experience)

I hope this post has helped you! Check out what’s new at encircled right now:

The Comfy Dress Shirt - Encircled Clothing

Encircled just released a new design - The Comfy Dress Shirt - which is perfect for looking put together on your zoom calls without sacrificing comfort. The pre-orders have sold out in less than a week so I'd recommend getting on the waitlist in case they can increase production for this round or at least to her when it's back available for order! Look at some of the gorgeous details:
  • Soft v-neck with flattering front pleat
  • Versatile length - easy to tuck in a variety of ways but also long enough to cover the assets if you want to wear it untucked. :) 
  • Classy puffed sleeves that aren't *too* puffed.
I would have loved to have snagged The Comfy Dress Shirt in white! It's supposed to be 100% not see through which can be a challenge to find in a white shirt, but very important especially for use in a business/dressy setting. 
Get more details or see if The Comfy Dress Shirt is back in stock:

The Everyday Sleeveless Tee  Encircled Clothing

Available in Buttermilk, Black, and Storm Grey, XS-XXL $74
The Everyday Sleeveless Tee was designed by encircled with versatility in mind - reversible necklines (scoop neck or boat neck), wear tucked or untucked! Care was taken to ensure the armholes weren't too large thus showing your bra. I had this happen with my first wanderer sleeveless tee purchase so I am glad to see they have factored that in to the new design!

The Everyday Boxy Tee has a reversible neckline and depending on your color choice is made from Hemp/Organic Cotton, Linen/Polyester, or Lyocell/Organic Cotton. I never used to like boxy styles, but I'm now starting to appreciate how they can balance your proportions and with a little tuck or a cute skinny leather belt etc. you can add some shape and personality and flattering drape!

Hope you have enjoyed seeing some different styling ideas for these pieces. They are classic, staple pieces for a capsule wardrobe, minimal wardrobe, or any wardrobe, really! Of course they can be paired with jeans. And you'll find a lot of simple and minimal styling ideas on encircled's website, but I want to give you some ideas of how you can incorporate fun and funky pieces as well as classy pieces as you style the new everyday tops from encircled. I have not tried these tops personally at this time so I can't give a review on fit or share any real life styling, but I hope this has given you some inspo!

Yes’m you read that right. Dressy Sweatpants.
​Sounds like an oxymoron doesn’t it?

What is an Oxymoron?

According to the New Oxford American Dictionary,  an oxymoron is "a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction."

What Fashion & Travel Bloggers Are Saying 

The Dressy Sweatpant by Encircled -
​Your New Favorite Oxymoron

A garment that is both comfortable and versatile is a beautiful thing. If that same garment is ethically made with sustainable materials, what more could you ask for? Before you asked for it, encircled delivered.

The Dressy Sweatpant has been a fan favorite by Canadian slow fashion brand encircled since at least 2015 (the earliest review for the product on their website). With over 40 pages of real customer reviews averaging 4.7/5 stars, it’s no wonder that Kristi Soomer’s brand is ranking on page 1 search results for “dressy sweatpants” on google, yahoo, bing - you go girl!!

While thesestylish sweatpants have been popular and a best seller for years, encircled regularly reads and requests customer feedback and incorporates it into design updates.

In 2019 encircled redesigned The Dressy Sweatpant - keeping everything customers loved most about these dressy joggers and tweaking a few things to make them even better!

Top: The Fair Longsleeve , Black

What Makes Them Sweatpants?

Oxford ​Definitionof Sweatpants: 
“Loose warm trousers with an elasticize or drawstring waist, worn when exercised in or as leisurewear”


The Dressy Sweatpants from encircled have an elastic waist and a comfortable fit with incredibly soft MicroModal (sustainable, plant-based fabric from beech trees) fabric. I don’t find them especially warm and they aren’t thick like traditional “sweatpants”. However, you could easily layer some leggings underneath for added warmth without compromising style or comfort one bit! 

What Makes Them Dressy?


Flattering front pleats and ruching at the ankles make these sweatpants you can wear to work. The tapered leg of the Dressy Sweatpant leading into that ruching gives it a polished look for the office. 

Side slit pockets as well as a hidden zippered pocket at the back make them very functional!

Are Encircled's Dressy Sweatpants Expensive?

At first glance paying$162 for a pair of pants may seem outrageous to some people and out of reach for many. 

A couple things to remember when making a purchase like The Dressy Sweatpants:
  1. The Dressy Sweatpants are ethically made. That means workers are paid living wages to make them. Naturally the cost of the garment will be higher. 
  2. The Dressy Sweatpants are made from sustainable fabrics in Toronto, Canada.
    Using high quality, natural fabrics knit in Canada comes at a cost.
  3. Think of your lifestyle. You probably know if you are the type of person who would pull these off going out on the town, in the office, and at home. If you are that type of person you may get great value from these pants.
  4. Consider your cost per wear 
     [see my on-going chart]
If you wear these pants 3/week *52 = 156/year making them about $1/wear over 1 year.

​I had previously purchased the original Dressy Sweatpants in a size medium during a sale. I really should have purchased a small or XS (my mistake!) but the combination of them being too big and having the drop-crotch situation going on limited my personal wearability. They were delightfully soft and comfortable, but I never felt as chic in them as everyone in the photos looked.

So once I heard they did a redesign of the Dressy Sweatpants I decided to give them a try again and ordered an XS in black. 
(Note, this was sizing down from the recommended sizing chart which recommended a size Small)

I finally feel like I understand why everyone loves these pants! The fit is SO much better and even though I sized down to an XS, I actually wish there was an XXS option because I would like the leg fit to be a tad slimmer and the ruching at the ankles to fit a little more snug.
That being said, the current fit gives you some options for layering with leggings to make them a little warmer. If they are too snug on their own, the look may lean toward bulky when layering. 

These pants along with basically all of the encircled clothing I own seems to take forever to dry. It's recommended to not put their clothes in the dryer, but to lay flat to dry. So while I do think encircled clothing is great for traveling because it is incredibly comfortable and the pieces can easily be dressed up or down, just be mindful when you need to wash that they are not quick drying like other technical synthetic fabrics you see in "travel clothes".

I am considering having my original size Medium blue Dressy Sweatpants tailored for a better fit for me and if encircled came out with an XXS edition of the Redesigned Dressy Sweatpants, I would consider picking them up in that gorgeous Dark Olive! ​
