Okay, real talk—finding clothes that fit right, feel amazing, and don’t drain my bank account is basically my life’s mission. I’m not kidding; it’s tough out there! So when I stumbled across Mott & Bow’s Boxy Tee and their jeans, I was like, “Hmm, this could be good… or a total letdown.” They’re known for cozy, no-fuss stuff that doesn’t cost a fortune, but I had to see for myself. I grabbed their Cotton Boxy Crew Semi-Crop Tee in Noble Black and the Slim Boyfriend Ridge Jeans in 21-Month Wash to test them out. Here’s the scoop from my experience with Mott & Bow Jeans and Tee.
Cotton Boxy Crew Tee
First, the Boxy Tee—$35, which isn’t dirt cheap but won’t make me cry either. Slipping it on was like, “Oh, hey, this is nice!” It’s soft, light, and has just enough stretch to feel like it’s giving me a little love. I hate shirts that cling to every roll I’ve got, so the loose, slightly cropped vibe was perfect. It lands right at my hips—great for my high-waisted jeans—and doesn’t make me feel like I’m swimming in it. I lounged in it, grabbed coffee with a friend, and it didn’t let me down. No weird fuzzies, no stretching out after a wash, and the black still looks legit—not like some tees I own that turn gray faster than my dog’s muzzle. Worth it? Yup, it’s my new go-to for lazy days or looking cute without trying too hard.
Slim Straight Ridge Jeans
Then, the jeans—$129 for the Slim Boyfriend Ridge in that cool, broken-in 21-month wash. I was sweating a little ordering jeans online because my thighs and denim don’t always get along. But Mott & Bow’s try-on deal (two sizes, keep one, return the other free) saved me from a meltdown. When they showed up, I was obsessed with the look—faded but not “I just time-traveled from 1995.” The fit? Oh my gosh, spot on. Slim enough to hug my legs without choking them, and the mid-rise didn’t pinch my gut after a taco lunch. The stretch was unreal—I bent down to tie my shoe and didn’t feel like I was auditioning for a split. Wore them all day running around, and they still looked cute, no saggy knees or anything.
Sure, $129 isn’t pocket lint, but compared to those fancy jeans that cost as much as my rent, it’s a bargain. They feel soft, the stitching’s solid, and the wash is just right—not too try-hard. I’ve rocked them a bunch already, and they’re holding up like champs.
To Sum Up..
So, are they worth it? Heck yes, for me at least. The tee’s a total win—comfy, cute, and low-maintenance. The jeans cost more, but they’re so comfy and stylish I keep grabbing them over my old favorites. They’re not for everyone—if you’re all about super tight jeans, the boyfriend cut might feel too chill—but if you want basics that feel special without making you broke, these are it. I’m already dreaming about my next pair. Mission accomplished—no more wardrobe unicorn hunting for me!
