Everlane Gia Collection Tank Top Review

When I think of the Coppola family I think of wine and the Louis Vuitton SC (Sofia Coppola) bag.  Well now I can add this Gia tank to my list of Coppola word associations.  (Fun fact did you know Nicholas Cage is actually Nicholas Coppola and Jason Schwartzman is a Coppola too?  They have quite a family tree).  Anywho back to this tank.  For their first collaboration, I think Everlane made a cute collection if somewhat underwhelming.  My favorite of it all is this yellow tank.  I usually order a size small in Everlane, but I decided to try out the medium since I wanted a casual loose-fitting top (plus the material looked a bit sheer).  Also, I noticed that the tank is made in their Ho Chi Minh City factory, which tend to produce tops that shrink in the wash.  

I paired the tank with a loose fitting wide-leg jean from my new favorite jean line Frame (for that 70's vibe).  I'm not one to try new designer jeans but I bought one on sale and loved it so much I bought 2 more styles from Frame within a couple weeks.  These jeans can be quite expensive so I only plan to purchase them when I find them on sale (I got 2 pairs from shopbop and one from ssense).  These jeans are made in LA from some of the the softest denim I've ever tried.

Anyway the tank in medium fit great.  The material is a thin slub cotton and thus slightly sheer, but nothing a nude bra can't handle.  I love the summer yellow stripes and the racer-back, but for $30 it does seem quite a bit for just a cotton tank top (especially since it only cost them $10 total to make).  But since I like it, I plan to keep it (and I'll let you know if it shrinks in the wash).
