4 Editors Test Out Reese Witherspoon’s Draper James Brand
June 21, 2023 at 11:10PM
Frankly, we’ll buy anything that Reese Witherspoon makes – which is precisely why our editors have had the star’s clothing brand, Draper James, on our radars (and honestly, our shopping wishlists) for so long.
The brand – much like Witherspoon herself – boasts an inimitable Southern flair that blends traditional patterns with more modern (and practical!) silhouettes; think scalloped swimsuits, gingham-centric workout sets, flounced floral tops, and versatile accessories like beaded earrings and a chambray headband that feels so Elle Woods-coded. The styles prioritize femininity, with pieces that are designed for every occasion and budget – though we’d argue that the styles really double as the perfect uniform for summer soirées and backyard hangs.
With an Oscar, a catalogue of cult-favorite projects under her belt (“Sweet Home Alabama” forever!), and a string of hit book-to-screen adaptations that have been championed through her production company, Hello Sunshine, we’ll concede: not everyone can just be Reese Witherspoon. But through her Draper James brand, fans are at least afforded the chance to try – and try our editors did.
Just in time for the brand’s summer collection debut, we asked our editors to test out styles from Draper James to see how they held up within our wardrobes. From a babydoll eyelet dress that’s ideal for warmer temperatures to an olive-colored field jacket that’s bound to elevate any daytime look with a more tailored touch, our selects span across all of the brand’s categories – and will make the perfect additions to anyone’s seasonal wardrobe.
Keep reading for our honest review of the Draper James brand. FWIW: if you want to really embody Witherspoon for a day, just don a Draper James style while cooking up a recipe from her “Whiskey in a Teacup” book – trust us, you’ll never feel more Southern in your life.
