33 Expensive-Looking Basics I'd Buy From Madewell's "Secret" Sale

If you ever hear the words "secret stock sale" associated with Madewell, it's probably worth looking into. Madewell is a brand that can be very generous with its discounts during sales, and I love it for that. We've reached the point of summer in which retailers are holding end-of-season sales as they clear out their inventory for fall. Translation: The discounts are deep because they need to make room.
Madewell's Secret Stock Sale includes over 2000 items for up to 60% off, plus a slew of jeans for $50 (Madewell has great jeans). Just use the code HOTDEAL to get an additional 30% off your already marked-down picks. It's quite a massive sale, so I sifted through the offerings and chose the most expensive-looking basics for your consideration. I don't know about you, but I love Madewell for expensive-looking basics.
With that, scroll to shop my majorly marked-down sale picks.
