It isn’t hard to understand why shoppers looking for stylish clothes and good deals would want to find some other clothing brands like Everlane.
Some people still appreciate Everlane’s commitment to radical transparency and using ethical factories, not to mention their stylish and affordable wardrobe staples.
But a 2020 article in the New York Times quoted former Everlane employees who allege that “the company’s ethical image was an illusion.”
And even those who prefer Everlane for their aesthetics more than their ethics can find their styles a little limited.
Fortunately, Everlane isn’t the only ethical clothing brand on the block, or the only one offering modern, stylish and well-made clothes at affordable prices.
In this post we’ve rounded up dozens of viable Everlane alternatives that provide stylish, modern clothing at a reasonable price point.
The Best Stores Like Everlane
Rounding Up the Best Brands Like Everlane for Stylish, Modern or Ethical Clothes
Buck Mason
Buck Mason high-quality clothing for both men and women that puts a modern twist on classic designs, making it a great Everlane alternative for those who want a more All-American look.
They’re still best known as an online store that sells direct to consumers through their website, but they also have shops in Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco for those who prefer the in-store experience.
Urban Outfitters
Well known for their wide selection of great brands and modern merchandise, Urban Outfitters carries a lot of similar styles as the pieces you’d find at Everlane.
Like Everlane, Urban Outfitters targets a young demo of hip, fashionable shoppers, so the average Everlane fan will find a lot to like about their clothes.
(Though, unlike some other stores on this list, they admittedly don’t have much by way of sustainable fashion bona fides.)
Club Monaco
Canadian brand Club Monaco is one of the higher-end brands on this list, well known for offering well-made and sophisticated modern styles at slightly higher price points than a lot of other stores like Everlane.
In addition to great style, they’ve also made more of a commitment to ethical fashion in recent years, mostly by using more eco-friendly materials to reduce their environmental impact.

Shein
Shein is an online brand that’s best known for their low prices on stylish everyday wear for both men and women.
Like Forever 21, they’re a more affordable Everlane alternative that offers modern and hip styles, but better prices for basic basics like silk tops for women or a plain white t-shirt for guys.
Banana Republic
Banana Republic is arguably a closer competitor to J.Crew than to Everlane, but it’s another example of a mall staple where you can find stylish clothes for both men and women.
Banana tends to target a slightly more mature demographic than Everlane, so their stuff tends to be more business casual and professional.
