Waverly Chai

The Waverly takes the Eileen’s beloved silhouette one step further: a tailored, pear-shaped front and longer shirttail hem in Heritage Jersey, the California-made open-end cotton that carries the gently worn, textured, matte feel of a vintage tee without needing to be one. In Chai, a warm milky beige garment-dyed in small batches so each piece develops its own subtle variation, it’s the NYC-inspired button-up that works equally as a tucked-in trouser top and as an everyday uniform shirt.

STYLED BY LADDER

ABOUT FRANK & EILEEN

Frank & Eileen was built on the idea that the right shirt changes everything, and the Waverly, inspired by Julianne Moore’s signature NYC style, is the brand’s most recent proof: a California-made Heritage Jersey button-up that takes a familiar silhouette and refines it into something unmistakably city-ready and unmistakably wearable at the same time. A Certified B Corp and 100% woman-owned company, Frank & Eileen has spent over fifteen years finding the fabric and silhouette that makes the same shirt feel new for the person wearing it, and the California Heritage Collection, made in-house from open-end California cotton, is the most direct expression of that search. Every piece starts with the same question: what is the finest material we can make this from, and what is the most flattering shape it can take.
