I Love a Madewell Sale—30 Discounted Elevated Basics I'm Losing It Over

I turn to Madewell on the regular for elevated basics and other trend-forward staples. Given my adoration for the brand, you can imagine my excitement when the retailer launches a legitimate sale. And that’s exactly what’s happening right now. Yep, the Madewell Labor Day weekend sale is here.
Now through September 5th, you can save an extra 40% off sale items and 30% off pre-fall favorites with code COOLDOWN. You can check out everything here, but if you’re looking for a bit of shopping inspiration, I’ve got you covered below. I pulled together some of my favorite items like jeans, knits, and pretty dresses that are seriously discounted for this limited time. Keep scrolling for more.
