If I had to play favorites, this would be at the top of my list.
It’s a lightweight jacket. It’s a dress. It immediately dresses up the boyfriend jeans and t-shirt you commonly find me wearing.
It is, in a word, perfect.
As is the company that makes it. Encircled (and Everlane) was my first foray into sustainable fashion. But Encircled takes it a step further, with every element of their manufacturing process being eco-friendly, sustainable, and fair wage.
The Encircled Retrograde has come with me to Austin for SXSW, topped many a weekend outfit, and most recently was in heavy rotation in Greece. I wore it on top of my matching top and pants on the flight, by itself as a dress in the evenings, and even threw it on top of black shorts and a striped tank for dinner on the ship.
Power piece, it most certainly is.
And now, it’ll be my go-to topper (along with jeans and a t-shirt) for school drop-offs and on top of leather leggings for an evening dinner with friends or my husband.
A favorite, it most certainly is. I can’t wait to see what else Encircled has up its literal sleeve.

P.S – how I wore the Encircled Retrograde in Greece, and what I wore in Santorini. Here’s what else I’ve been wearing.
