This post is sponsored by Tradlands, a women’s clothing brand specializing in menswear-inspired staples for women.
Since their launch in 2012, Tradlands has devoted itself to making the very best button-up shirts for women. In large part, the business was born because co-owner Sadie was tired of walking into the men’s department and seeing things that she wanted to wear herself, but that didn’t quite work for a woman’s body. Tradlands endeavored to change that and their 8-button shirts that are still some of the very very best button-ups out there. Over the past four years, as the small team at Tradlands has started to grow, so has their ability to offer a wider range of women’s staples. They’ve taken the same attention to detail that they bring to making their button-up shirts and turned it loose on other pieces that could well get described as must-haves. Just this month, Tradlands launched cotton tees and sweatshirts to my very enthusiastic applause.
The Tradlands T-Shirts are made of super soft pre-shrunk cotton. They’re tailored enough to give them a little shape, without getting close to the overly nipped and tucked look that’s often synonymous with women’s t-shirts. My personal favorite features are the classic crew neck and the tailored hemline in a slightly rounded cut. I’m wearing the Ada Shell in these shots. Also available in Cavern, a dark gray; Brunswick, an olive green; and Indigo, a deep blue.
Always a sucker for good sweatshirt, I feel particularly qualified to tell you that the Tradlands Sweatshirt is fantastic. It’s also made of super high-quality pre-shrunk cotton and sewn in the US.
The crew neck, gusset, and ribbing give it all the signatures of a classic sweatshirt; the softness and comfort mean you’re not gonna want to take it off. I’m wearing the Althea Shell in these photos. Sweatshirts are also available in the same Brunswick green and Indigo blue as the tees, as well as Heather Gray.
If it’s a classic chambray that you’re thinking about adding to your fall closet, you’d be wise to look no further than the Waverly. Made of 100% cotton mid-weight cotton chambray, you can feel you’ve got something special on your hands from the moment you touch this shirt.
I’m wearing the Waverly Charcoal here over the Ada shell. The Waverly is also available in Slate and Cardinal.
And if the shorter days were starting to notice makes you feels it’s the right time to up your sophistication a little bit, you might try the Rory. Its fit is a little trimmer than some of the other Tradlands’ button-ups and I love that it’s made of 100% organic cotton. It’s sleek and sophisticated (even over a growing belly).
If you see something here that strikes your fancy (or perhaps you’ve been tempted by a cool-weather flannel), Tradlands is offering Reading My Tea Leaves readers $25 off orders over $100 with the code hellofall. Good through October 15, 2016 at midnight PST.
PS. All Tradlands‘ customers enjoy free shipping and returns in the US. (International shipping is also available: $5 to Canada and $10 to everywhere else.)

Beautiful! The shirts, yes, but certainly the woman wearing them.
The Rory has been on my wish list since I first saw it. I love it on you!
You look lovely! Thanks for the styling inspiration.
Thank you!
You look lovely in all of them! I have to ask—where is that black skirt from? I’m looking for something very similar. Thank you!
Thank you! It’s from Storq. More about it and a direct link in yesterday’s post!
Erin, I’m curious….Do you color your hair? I’m debating about whether or not to start coloring mine now that I’ve got greys. The more natural options (henna, henna based dyes…) so far haven’t worked for me. Sorry…totally random 🙂
Once did a henna rinse in college, but have never dyed my hair!
Oh you’re so lucky! Your color is so pretty!
Thank you!
Hate to be *that* person, but can you share where you got your shoes and bag from? Great post (as always), Erin! XO
Hi Roxanne! My shoes are from Zuzii and my bag is from Billykirk!
Thank you for the great advice on building a thoughtful minimalist wardrobe. I’m trying to buy quality clothes that’ll last even if it means spending more. Can you please share what size you wear in these tops (pre-pregnancy). I think we’re similar in size and so often the size charts can be confusing and I order the wrong size.
Thanks!
Hi Julianne: I usually hesitate to do this because sizing is so very personal, but in case you think it’s helpful, I’ve been finding the XXS in Tradlands’ button-ups are fitting me best these days—I’m wearing the XXS in both button-ups for this post. I’m wearing the size small in the tee and sweatshirt. Since those are both brand-new I haven’t worn them pre-pregnancy, but I imagine I might opt for the xxs tee and the xs sweatshirt for a roomier fit. Good news is, Tradlands offers free shipping and returns in the US!
You totally look like Keira Knightley in the photo where you’re holding the bag and apple!!
Loving your mix of maternity + non-maternity wear. The button ups would be great for nursing too.
Yes on the button-ups for nursing! (Not so sure about the Kiera Knightley…;)
You look stunning! Where are those shoes from? Inquiring mama’s want to know. 😉
Thank you! The shoes are from Zuzii!
love tradlands! and love the look of these Zuzii oxfords (and their sneakers). Curious if you could share any thoughts on how they fit/feel? Thanks!
i think they’re great! they’re super low-profile, so what you see is really what you get. if you needed more padding, for instance, i’d go for the sneaker.
I love the white sweatshirt. I had one years ago that is now strictly a workout shirt due to yellowing, so it’s time for a new one…
Gorgeous! I love how you’ve cuffed the sweatshirt sleeves.
Just wanted to let you know that I discovered Tradlands through your blog the first time you did a sponsored post for them. I have now amassed 4 shirts from them over the past few years. In fact, I’m wearing the Arapahoe flannel at this moment! I love their button ups for work. Thanks for sharing such quality brands with us. I love that I can always order the same size and know it will fit, work great, and be of substantial construction.
So glad to hear that!!
Thanks for introducing me to such great clothing brands! I’m wondering if the Tradlands shell color is opaque enough to not need an undershirt – I’m always looking for nice white and cream colored tops but have trouble finding ones that are not see through.
Hi Naomi, Always a little tough to answer this one since personal preference comes into play a bit. I’m wearing a white bra with both the tee and sweatshirt and you can’t see it here. That said, the tee is certainly of lighter material than the sweatshirt, so you could see the faint outline of my white bra underneath it.
Erin! I really love your style posts. Those shoes are so great. I know you did a Minimalist Style post on summer shoes but would you consider doing another one for fall/winter shoes? Would love to see what brands you recommend.
I’d be curious, too, to know you’re suggestions for fall coats. I’m in Seattle so don’t need a full on winter jacket most of the year, so any tips you have would be welcomed!
I know this isn’t the point of the post but that couch is gorgeous!
Love how you style these shirts while pregnant I’m 18 weeks so just starting to figure this whole pregnancy style thing out 😉 Any chance you’ll have another code soon?
Shhhh…we’re working on a little something for late November 😉
🙂
