A Case for Shopping at Lands’ End

The stripes on these rugby shirts keep things from feeling too preppy, and these shirts are a more interesting alternative than wearing a hoodie to dinner. If you’re in between sizes, size up. (The shirt runs a little oversized, but a tiny rugby shirt is a pet peeve of mine.)

I try a lot of sheets — expensive, the kind that run Instagram ads, linen flax from Portugal — you name it. My husband, who has famously indifferent feelings toward our homewares, asked immediately where these were from. “They feel like a hotel,” he mused. In layman terms: the sheets wash brilliantly and feel cool on the skin. Nothing delights me more than saying, “Can you believe they’re Land’s End?”

Sometimes, white towels just get a little boring. This striped set feels like a utilitarian art piece in our tiny NYC bathroom. Plus, I’ve washed them every week and they just keep getting softer. I had my last set of Land’s End towels for nine years, and expect no less for these.

Bike shorts are out. Men’s pajama shorts are in. I wear mine with the matching top or another big button down. They’re so much more comfortable than women’s pajamas, which often feature “flattering” cuts that create pulling and bunching unnecessarily. Order a size up for a truly lounge-worthy fit.

Here’s the matching shirt that’s chic enough to stand on its own. Order it with a contrasting monogram on the pocket and give it as a gift.

Who said raincoats have to be corny? This pullover is equal parts efficient at keeping you dry and actually looking cute. The material is textured without feeling stiff, making it ideal for throwing in the wash after a day on the trails. And the massive front pocket turns out to be quite useful.

These come in regular, petite, and tall for those looking to try out corduroy for the fall. These pants have just the right amount of stretch to look vintage, but feel comfortable. The zipper, in place of a button fly, makes the pants easy to wear, especially coupled with the slight stretch in the material.

This shirt makes me feel dressed up for work with zero effort. Now that I think about it, I’d even wear this with the pajama shorts and some ballet flats.

Other brands are making trendier versions of these boots, but these feel like the kind you could buy today and rewear through whatever -core comes next.
