The perfect brand for your essentials – combined with sustainable + ethical practices.
With today’s post, I’m really excited to talk about my recent KOTN purchases and to do a full review on the pieces I chose. I came across the brand earlier this year and I’ve grown to really enjoy KOTN over time. I even mentioned my first find of the company during one of my LD Round Ups.
KOTN is a Canadian based brand focused on quality unisex essentials that are ethically made from authentic Egyptian cotton. They are also a Certified B Corporation which means for them — every purchase directly supports the lives of their cotton farmers and their families.

I’m really happy to find a brand that combines all of my values into one! You know me, I live in simple, neutral, basic pieces. So let’s get into a review on my recent purchases…….
Square Neck Tank
KOTN’s square neck tank is my go-to for those unbearable hot days this summer. They’ve also been great to wear as layers underneath a jumpsuit or lightweight cardigan. The 100% Egyptian cotton is super soft. I really like how the neckline shows off an area of my chest that’s flattering.
I purchased the small and it fits really well. There’s a little give, so it’s not too tight which is how I like it. I also got this tank in their alabaster color as well in an x-small. It is a tad too small for my liking, but I’m making it work. Overall, I highly recommend!
Linen Button-Up
KOTN’s linen button-up is the perfect light-weight shirt that’s helped me look “professional” during my many video-conferencing calls this summer. I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on this shirt over Facetime, Microsoft Teams and Zoom. So it must be doing something right, right?
The linen-cotton blend is lightweight enough to sustain the heat, but not too sheer. I’m able to wear my nude bra underneath and you can’t see anything. The design of the shirt is to look over-sized, so I ordered an x-small. For reference on height, I’m a little over 5’2. So if you want an even more over-sized look, I’d go just one size up. This is a YES for me.
Essential Crew
Last, but certainly not least, KOTN’s essential crew. You can get this t-shirt in three other colors, but I went with the classic white. After wearing cheap white t-shirts that eventually disintegrates into string, I wanted a quality piece. Again, the Egyptian 100% cotton is incredibly soft and sturdy at the same time. The ultimate white t-shirt to go with everything.
I’ll definitely be getting more of their t-shirts since that’s all I’ve been living in lately!
All around, I’m really excited to have found KOTN. There are a lot more pieces of clothing I can’t way to eventually try (ie: pants, lounge-wear, winter items). They are a brand that emulates ethical practices with simple styling – all at the right price. They are definitely my go-to place now!
