I am Blown Away By Kule Clothes: A Mini Strive-On & Overview
If you happen to haven’t but heard of Kule, it began as a children model, identified for its playful stripes in 100% cotton. Kule has expanded, nonetheless, and now makes designs for everybody (together with males!). It has garnered a cult-like following for its excellent tees and quirky sweatshirts or, as Kule places it, “traditional garments with a cheerful wink.”
As I’ve talked about earlier than, it’s like if Kate Spade & J.Crew had a child…

After being utterly blown away by Kule’s short-sleeve gingham sweater (the variety of compliments this piece garners had been going to my head), I made a decision to do a mini haul (gahhh, I hate that phrase) — or try-on (that’s higher) — to see if the model’s different items had been simply pretty much as good. I additionally needed to crack the code on Kule’s sizing. I had discovered that the gingham sweater ran small, so I needed to see if that was true for all items.
So. After testing out a sweater, a T-shirt, two tank tops, a waffle pullover, shorts and a costume — all in 100% cotton — right here’s what I’ve realized about Kule.
How Does Kule Match?
Kule’s cotton tees & muscle tanks run true to measurement, however I’ve discovered that the spaghetti strap camis (and clothes) run a full measurement small. I’m additionally happier sizing up one full measurement in something that might be described as a pullover: sweaters, sweatshirts, half-zips. The shorts match TTS.
Is Kule Good High quality?
Whether or not it’s one in all Kule’s light-weight striped tees, or the thicker weave of a sweater, or the waffle knit, Kule’s 100% cotton materials all really feel significantly prime quality and decidedly high-end. In reality, the luxe cloth is definitely among the best elements of the model. I additionally recognize a number of the texture added in for curiosity (ribbing on the costume, for instance, or the waffle-knit on the shorts & pullover). It’s straightforward to see why Kule has such a devoted following.

Can You Machine-Wash Kule Merchandise?
Since buying, I’ve now machine-washed each bit on chilly and air-dried on low. All the things washes up fantastically however will shrink a bit when you wash and/or dry on sizzling. I by accident despatched one of many camis by a sizzling dryer, and the neckline is just not practically as little as it as soon as was.

This is the T-shirt that helped put Kule on the map, and I can freaking see why: It’s improbable. It’s shockingly well-tailored — the shoulder seams hit proper the place they’re alleged to, the sleeves are excellent — and there’s one thing very cool and boyish concerning the match. Nonetheless! It nonetheless manages to be female (flirty, even?). This tee is available in stable colours, however the playful stripes are the place it actually shines. There are at the moment 14 totally different striped shade combos, and I would like all of them. GAHHH.
NOTE: If the colour combo designates “cream,” simply know that irl the cream is darker than it seems on the web site. It’s way more off-white than white.

tank (M) – additionally at Shopbop | shorts (26) | comparable bracelet
This is the tank I’ve been looking for all summer. It’s cool, informal, free by the abdomen, but a bit attractive, in an unserious, playful type of manner. I discovered that the dimensions small (my common measurement) was too squeezy round my bustline (the place I carry my weight), so I used to be a lot happier in a medium.
These tanks work nice with strapless bras, strappy bras or over bikini tops (how I wore mine on the shore).

This easy tank (are we nonetheless calling them “muscle tanks”?) is nice. It’s the very same cloth & form because the tee however sleeveless (and with trim!). I’m sporting the navy (match is TTS), however it’s additionally accessible in seven totally different striped shade mixtures (in addition to stable grey or white).
pullover (M) | tank (M) – additionally at Shopbop | shorts (26) | comparable bracelet
This waffle-knit half-zip pullover is one in all my favourite merchandise in the complete try-on. It’s simply really easy, so cozy, and washes up fantastically. But it has a bit little bit of a gamine twist — the collar is extra of a polo-like collar, and I truly prefer it worn open or closed.
It additionally layers nicely over strappy tanks too.

dress (M) | comparable bracelet
This is one sexy midi dress. It’s additionally bananas snug — it’s 100% cotton knit — but in addition extraordinarily flattering, because of the benefit by the abdomen + the ribbed texture. The one draw back, nonetheless, is that the straps are usually not adjustable. After sporting it a ton, I miiight have to get the straps taken up a tiny bit.
dress (M)
I’ve worn Kule’s midi dress a bunch. Probably as a result of it’s one of the vital brainless outfits I personal — it’s cozy but all the time appears to be like good. Additionally works with sneakers, so there’s that.
These waffle-knit shorts have a excessive rise, trouser-style pockets, and are constituted of the very same waffle knit as the pullover. They’re cozy and significantly cute, matching or not matching.

7. That Gingham Polo Sweater: The Brie
top (M) – additionally at Anthro | shorts (26) | comparable bracelet
This polo sweater is the piece that began my love affair with Kule, and it’s straightforward to see why. This 100% cotton sweater is thick and and tender, and I’ll doubtless put on it year-round. It’s the vibes for me — quirky-preppy? — and all in all, it’s such a completely happy piece.
Let me know you probably have one other different questions on Kule — I’m now a enormous fan.
