A Frank & Eileen review has been in the making for a few years now. I discovered the brand when a client asked me to create a uniform for her informal day-to-day life. I ended up putting her in a series of their now-famous casual collared shirts. But there are a few things you should know before diving into the line…
Frank & Eileen Sizing
In general, Frank & Eileen runs large, so you will want to order a size down. To be more specific, the shirts for sure run large, while their pants run slightly large. With the shirts, for some tops you’ll need one size down, while other tops may require you to go down two sizes if you want a more fitted silhouette. For example, the XS button-front shirts (pictured above) are a little baggy on me, whereas the XS in the Patrick sweatshirt (featured below) fits almost snugly. Keep reading for in-depth sizing tips for some of my favorite Frank & Eileen items below.
Frank & Eileen Jeans Review
Frank & Eileen’s Galway wide-leg jeans are one of my favorite pairs of denim right now. The fit is fantastic, the comfort is phenomenal, and the movement is perfection, which is hard to pull off with a cropped, wide leg. So many wide-leg pants and jeans don’t move well, so this is a special find. I want all my clients to try these pants.
These jeans run a little big, but for those with fuller waistlines and average to narrow hips, they run true to size. I recommend you order your usual size as well as a size down to compare.
Is Frank & Eileen Worth It?
Frank & Eileen is a woman-owned and led company, with a focus on female empowerment, including a pledge to spend $20 million in the next 10 years to support female entrepreneurs. They’re also committed to sustainability and are a certified B Corporation, which means they meet certain environmental and social standards. For example, Frank & Eileen only works with sustainable manufacturers and textile producers and all their fabrics are traceable from seed to finish. In fact, on their website, you can look up every single one of the fabrics they use and read where it comes from and how it’s made. I adore that transparency and commitment to environmentally friendly practices.
I know you love an ethical company like me, and are willing to pay more to support sustainable practices. But the main reason Frank & Eileen is worth the price tag is because the cut of the clothing is so darn flattering and the fabrics feel amazing. They really know what they are doing. They also make items I can’t get anywhere else. At first glance, Frank & Eileen may not seem as unique as I am waxing poetic, but they are. The items I am featuring from them are truly one of a kind.
Frank & Eileen Review: Carmel Travel Set
The Carmel Travel Set is so darn flattering and cozy. It doesn’t have pockets, which I know will disappoint a few of you, but the perk of no pockets is that the pant is extra slimming on the hips and belly. It is truly their cuts that makes Frank & Eileen so unique. I love this set for working from home, travel days, lounging in a hotel room or Airbnb, and my walks in Balboa Park.
Available as a set here. Or you can purchase just the sweatshirt, here, or just the sweatpants, here.
Sizing: Available in XS-XL. Runs slightly large. Order your true size and a size down to compare.
Material: Triple fleece, 100% cotton
Frank & Eileen Review: Eileen Ruffle
The Eileen Ruffle is such a fresh take on the chambray shirt. Obviously, the fit is delicious and the fabric feels amazing. This shirt can be worn untucked or tucked. This is definitely the best ruffle neck chambray of the few that have been made.
Sizing: Available in XXS-XL. Runs large, order a size down.
Material: Famous denim, 100% cotton
Frank & Eileen Review: Galway Wide-Leg Jean
The Galway Wide-Leg Jean is the Frank & Eileen item that I want to manically recommend. The model does not do them justice. They will look so much better on you. I need all of you to try them. They have the best movement of any wide-leg jean I have tried, and the comfort is outrageous. Plus, the wash is classic and versatile. You’re welcome.
Sizing: Available in 24-32. Runs slightly large. Order your true size as well as a size down to compare.
Material: Italian dream denim, 81% cotton, 11% lyocell, 6% EME, 2% elastane
Frank & Eileen Review: Tuscany Getaway Set
I feel so sexy in the Tuscany Getaway Set! As you can tell in the photo at the top of the post, I paired it with a navy bralette and wore the shirt open for an edgy belly-baring look. I will be sporting this set for errands, spring vacations, and over a bathing suit on my San Diego beach and pool days. Again, this will look so much better on you than it does on the model — and these pants do have pockets! Praise F & E!
Available as a set here. The pants are only available as part of the set, but you can purchase just the Eileen Button-Up, here.
Sizing: Available in XXS-XL. Runs large, order a size down.
Material: Washed linen, 100% linen
