UpWest is a clothing brand I stumbled upon recently, whose slogan “Soft clothes, strong people” totally caught my eye. After a little try-on session, I’m now a huge fan. Their clothing comes together like a perfectly curated summer vacation capsule wardrobe…with a twist. Instead of the usual tropical prints and flowy dresses, the vibe is much more après-hiking in Taos or Jackson Hole. Shockingly, the price points are under $100 (and many are under $50!).

In short, it’s exactly what I want to wear this summer.

Tomboy-Chic: UpWest Has Your Cute & Comfy Capsule Wardrobe

Since I put in my order, UpWest has — happily!! — expanded their line of sustainable pieces, check them out here. They also carry guys’ clothes, but I was too focused on mahself to snag anything for Mike. Yet. Father’s Day is around the corner (and this looks like him).

Let’s Start With The Outfit I’ve Barely Taken Off

I’m obsessed with the boyish fit of this tee, coupled with a sexy v-neckline. It comes in three colors, and I’ll likely be snapping up all three. And these darn shorts are dead-ringers for the Vince pair I’ve been stalking for weeks now, and couldn’t be happier with them.

A Comfy Striped Top

This was simply one of those tops too comfy and too easy to take off. It has a banded string tie bottom, which means I’ll be throwing it on over a bikini at the beach, too.

Tie-Waist (Matching) Sweatshirt

If you’re snapping up the shorts —and I highly recommend that you do — this is the matching sweatshirt. I didn’t keep it simply because my NADAAM hoodie also matches the shorts (close enough, anyway — see next pic).

Let’s Talk More About These White Sweatshorts

As I mentioned above, the shorts match my NADAAM hoodie so I can check ‘matching set’ off the list. But the photo on the right (below) is the other way I’ve been wearing these shorts. Suddenly beige jersey knit shorts are a hit — who knew?

These **SUSTAINABLE** Chambray Shorts

These seriously comfy shorts are made from sustainable Lyocell, and I LOVE the fit. The waistband, thankfully, wasn’t horrifyingly tight, even on my soft stomach. These shorts are SO comfy to wear.

Also In A Striped Summer Set….

The same shorts (above) also come in a linen stripe. I like the fresh feel of this set.

I also found the striped top really cute on its own! Digging the ’70s vibes of this thing.

A Cute & Comfy Sweatshirt Dress

There are so many things to love about this dress. First of all, the dress appears fitted, but is actually pretty loose across the stomach. The fitted part is at the shoulders, which keeps the dress looking sleek without having to be skintight. Second, the pockets are perfectly placed, and third, I love the flattering sleeves. The fact that this dress is made out of the same material as the sweat-shorts (SO COMFY) doesn’t hurt, either.

  1. How oversized is the v neck T? I love this, but my regular size is sold out…wondering if I can go down a size.

  2. Oh yay!!! My UpWest order should be here tomorrow! I’m so glad to hear how good they are! Can’t wait for my stuff to get here!

  3. Shana – the clothes look soft and comfy. But the one I’m most drawn to (the striped crewneck) looks like it might pill quickly in the wash. What do you think?

    • Umm…yeah. It might. I’m hoping it’ll be that throw-on-over-bikini sweater that always gets trashed by sand and saltwater by the end of the summer.

  4. Woman you’re killing me!! Just posted a pic of me in this outfit on my insta story and tagged you. Need more of this brand STAT!!!!!!
