Madewell Sale Favorites for Summer

Madewell is probably neck and with J.Crew in terms of my overall go-to brand! Over the years, I’ve tried just about every plus-size or mid-size friendly brand there is. Finding ones that maintain quality while also having classic yet current style are hard to come by. In fact, I’m working on my Summer staples guide (launching this week) and my overall closet/brand guide (launching next week), and Madewell is a top brand included in both! Right now, Madewell is having 25% off their ENTIRE site with code “LONGWEEKEND”. So, it’s a great time to get some basics for Summer or snag some special pieces while the sale is happening. Below, I’ve rounded up items that I have on my wishlist, are currently in my closet, or are the pieces I gravitate towards at Madewell.

TOPS & TEES

I absolutely love Madewell tanks and tees, I think the cotton is great quality and the fit is fantastic. When it comes to Madewell tops, sometimes they can feel a bit cropped or boxy. Their plus size proportions have improved so much since they first launched a while back, so I find that length isn’t an issue in the extended sizes! In the regular sizes, I just opt for their tees and longer/flowy blouses, and I’m good to go. Here are some of my favorites:

BOTTOMS & DENIM

Madewell makes some of the BEST denim out there, period! Their plus size denim has become my favorite denim to date. In the extended sizes, I find they generally run true to size, but each style/cut is a little different in terms of fit (I get the 16w or 34). I also LOVE their shorts and casual pants! In their pull on shorts, I get the XXL and in some cases the 16w/1x. I love the inseams they offer, they have enough length without feeling like a Bermuda short.

DRESSES

If you’ve been here a while it’s no secret that Madewell is my favorite destination for dresses, especially warm weather dresses! Their length, fit and materials just lend for such a breezy, laid back yet feminine feel. Madewell’s color palette in general is very subtle while still being happy and fresh for Summer. That’s kind of what I have been gravitating towards lately, subtle yet feminine pieces that are livable for the season ahead.

ATHLEISURE

If you saw my review on Instagram of Madewell’s athletic dress, you know it’s my favorite athletic dress to date (I also love Girlfriend Collective). Madewell’s athleisure continues to pleasantly surprise me. I wouldn’t do high impact workouts in them or expect to be able to go on a run, but they certainly are appropriate for hot girl walks, leisurely yet busy days, and just when you feel like being cute yet comfy.

ACCESSORIES

Nine times out of ten, if you ask me where my sunglasses, jewelry, or bag is from, I’m going to say Madewell! I love their sunglasses so much, they are definitely friendly for wide faces (like mine). I also find that their jewelry is a nice quality for the price point! I am always complimented on my jewelry from them and people are always surprised when I share where its from. Easy pieces that are chic and not a big investment!
