Even though this brand can skew a little young and sometimes twee, I still find a lot to like in the way of left-of-center classics and tomboy-cool pieces. I also like that they’ve become a lot more size-inclusive—pretty much everything is available up to size 24 or 3X. I think this dress has the prettiest, almost art nouveau print. Check out this top in the same pattern.
These snake-print mules remind me of a pair Emerson Fry used to make that I coveted for a long time, but never pulled the trigger on. These are just a little funkier, though, thanks to the bright hit of color, and I’m pretty tempted.
This corduroy suede tote in an excellent mustard yellow feels very back-to-school to me, but in the most sophisticated way.
I don’t know why a black jean jacket appeals right now, but it does. I feel like maybe it’s more polished and grown up than blue denim.
This kind of retroish floral print dress just looks so easy to wear.
I don’t usually see the point of short-sleeved sweaters, or brown for that matter, but this really appeals.
Just a rather perfect henley.
I’m a big fan of army pants with a stripe down the side, and this one is subtly glittery, which is fun.
How does that mustardy yellow keep coming back? It’s fine for accessories but my olive skin does not play nicely with it.
Love those pants!
I agree re: Madewell. I love their jeans (good quality, durable and good-looking), and if you sift through the mass of younger (too cropped, too boxy, too expensive for its value), you can find some goodies. I just ordered this dress in black and am looking forward to a good summer-into-fall and then spring transition piece, as it’s a little warmer than appropriate for hot, humid summer weather. I would’ve preferred another color than black, but neither the mustard-y Gold or Sweet Dahlia flatters my skin tone

That’s my only complaint — they need to diversify their colors more than the top 2-3 trendy colors of the moment.
I fell weirdly in love with this sweater and it’s on it’s way to me now….it appeals to me so much https://www.madewell.com/bobble-cardigan-sweater-AB751.html
That’s CUTE! It is very similar to a cardi by The Great, who have a lawsuit against Madewell right now for copying some of their designs. Just FYI.
I love a short sleeve sweater for work! It’s as comfortable as a t-shirt but most look way more polished and they almost always have a flattering drape.
The pants have a Nili Lotan vibe! I’m happy that Madewell shows the clothes on all different sized models so that I can approximate how it will look on me.
Ooh the daisy dress! I love a floral print dress, and this one manages to avoid looking too Lilith Fair.
That is the perfect slouch on the black jean jacket. My current one is cropped, which I think I might have outgrown, style-wise.
