Madewell's Labor Day Sale Is Full of Chic Elevated Basics—Up to 70% Off

Whether you're packing for a long weekend away or staying at home, Labor Day sales are everywhere right now. Madewell's is one worth noting: Through September 2, take an extra 40% off already-marked-down items (up to 70% off) and 30% off a selection of fall clothes with the code LONGWEEKEND at checkout.
Personally, when I'm scanning any sale, I tend to focus on finding chic elevated basics—ones that make sense beyond the season. Since these types of pieces already have a higher cost per wear, it feels like even more of a steal when it's discounted. For knitwear, standouts include a Cashmere Button-Front Cardigan Sweater, Merino Wool-Silk Sweater Tank, and Chunky-Knit Alpaca-Blend Turtleneck. Other highlights are the Pleated Midi Skirt in Cotton Poplin, Jersey Asymmetric-Seam Midi Skirt, and Deanna Thong Wedge Sandal.
Below, a roundup of what I found—all easy to mix and match.
