HUGE Unbound Merino Summer Haul & Try-On!

Happy summer! I hope you are staying cool and enjoying the sunshine wherever you are. Today, I’m excited to share a fantastic summer haul from Unbound Merino. I have loved watching Unbound Merino continue to expand their product line, and their newest pieces are no exception. I will continue to style these all year round so be sure to follow if you want more content like this!

Before we get started, you might want to check out my Unboxing video for this Unbound Merino Haul combined with a few pieces from wool&, Simply Merino, and Woolly Clothing, too. Besides just opening each piece, I also include videos and photos of my try-ons as well, so I think you will enjoy it! It’s been a LONG time since I’ve posted a video, and I’d love to get back to posting minimalism content, but I now have a full time job so my time for YouTube has been “minimalized” too.

I already own a few pieces of Unbound Merino, so if you are interested in checking out my reviews, you can click here: Unbound Merino Wool for Travel and Unbound Merino Cashmere Cardigan Review. I especially love the Unbound Merino Travel Pants, and spoiler alert: the new colors are amazing! (Here’s a pic of my original pair of black Unbound Merino Travel Pants….I LOVE them!)

Unbound Merino’s designs are super practical with an emphasis on travel-friendly wool fabric and versatile styles that can be worn absolutely anywhere. Their motto: Timeless Style & Superior Performance has absolutely been true for the pieces I have tried. Not only do they fit and feel great, but they have held up beautifully to my rough-and-tumble lifestyle (ie: by that I mean I do not baby my clothing and I spill coffee on most things I own. Just wanted to clarify as I feel like the above sentence almost indicates that I am one of those amazing wool-wearers who travels 24/7 and climbs mountains. Although that is very much not the case, I am still rough on my clothes and need them to hold up to plenty of heavy use!)

Side-note: My adventure into minimalism is what led me to wearing wool almost exclusively. I realized that wool was the ultimate minimalist clothing solution, because you can wear it so many times without washing, it’s durable, easy-care, and timeless, rather than trendy.

First up, this gorgeous Women’s Slim Merino Crew Neck in Magenta. I was just a little nervous about the “Slim” part about this shirt, so I went up to an XL. I really like the fit at this size for me, since it’s not skin tight but it’s still a nice flattering fit. The shirt is soft and comfy and I absolutely LOVE the magenta color! This looks really great with the Travel Pants or shorts and is also a great piece to layer with leggings and skirts year-round.

I was super excited about the Women’s Lightweight Travel Shorts in Forest because I live in South Carolina and the heat is intense, especially this summer. Knowing that the Travel Pants were working great for me in a size Large, I decided to size up an XL in the shorts, hoping to gain just a little bit of extra length! I love the way these fit and feel. They are super lightweight and super cool. I’ll be curious to see how well they do wrinkle-wise, but I think these would be perfect for travel!

Not to get too dramatic, but I think I have found my favorite tank top. The Women’s Merino Wool Rib Tank in black is the perfect stretchy, scoopy, flattering tank and it’s cool and comfy even in the South Carolina heat. I am not going to lie, I wore this most of last week, and true to form, I haven’t had to wash it yet! There is not much that doesn’t look good with a classic scoop tank and this is a staple that will be going on many adventures with me year round.

Moving on to the best wool work pants I have found: the Unbound Merino Travel Pants. I already knew that these pants were going to be great because I own them in black and love them for work. One thing I have learned from the fashion creators I follow, is this if you keep all of your pants in the black category, you kind of look like you are wearing the same thing all the time. For example, you might think you are opening up your options by owning bootcut, leggings, jeans, and joggers but if they are all solid black they will kind of create the same look. To really open up your wardrobe, you need to go with a more dramatic color contrast. As someone who typically sticks with winter colors, I thought this rich tan was a great option!

The perfect blend of comfortable and professional, the Unbound Merino Travel Pants are soft, breathable, and wrinkle-resistant. Plus,I love the fact that you can choose your inseam. I went with a Large in 28 inseam which gives me a great fit and length. I have kind of a long waist, but my legs aren’t particularly long, so these are perfect. Just like the shorts, these have a comfortable, stretchy waistband that is perfect for layering and for, well, travel! I have become more and more resistant to wearing “real pants”, BUT pull-on pants that perform like traditional dress pants are an excellent compromise.

Last but not least, the piece I was most excited and also nervous about, the Women’s Merino Tie Dress. I received this dress in size Large in the color Charcoal. This dress is definitely coming on my August beach vacation. I love the playful asymetrical cut, the feminine detail, and the flattering tank top style. It’s super comfortable and the color is the perfect neutral. I probably could have used a size up in the skirt (I’m definitely a pear shape) but I’m not uncomfortable with the tightness. The great part about the tie is that you have the freedom to adjust it as you like, so I was able to over a little farther to create a more flattering waist line. I do wish it were a smidge longer (I’m 5’6″) but it’s not a deal-breaker and I will probably wear a pair of bike shorts underneath for modesty. I love the look of this dress and the fact that it really stands apart from most of the merino wool options in the category right now. I really feel like Unbound Merino has nailed it with the latest additions to their product line, and I can’t wait to see what they come out with next!
