Stay Ahead, Stay Trendy

Madewell’s 10 Best Memorial Day Deals on Summer Fashion

Shop the 10 items I’m eyeing from $24.

Summer arrived in Los Angeles overnight and with no warning—or maybe there were warnings and I just need to occasionally watch the local news. Either way, my wardrobe was under-prepared. Fortunately, so many of the Madewell summer staples I’ve been eyeing are on sale right now, so I’m quickly stocking up.

Ahead of the long weekend, you can take 25 percent off more than 240 new arrivals and an extra 40 percent off sale items with the code LONGWEEKEND. As a former Madewell manager, I know how insane the store can get on a holiday weekend, so I’ll be shopping my favorites from my couch (and I suggest you do the same). Below, grab the 10 styles I’m eyeing, including a breezy gingham dress, 76-percent off trouser-inspired jeans, and a $24 summer blouse.

Smocked U-Neck Mini Dress

Madewell Smocked U-Neck Mini Dress in Gingham $138 $104 at Madewell.com

This mini dress was the first thing I added to my cart. I love its trending (and really comfy) smocked bodice, those big puff sleeves, and, of course, that gingham print. The classic and cute pattern is one I always want in my summer wardrobe.

Relaxed Scoopneck Short-Sleeve Top

Madewell Relaxed Scoopneck Short-Sleeve Top $82 $24 at Madewell.com

Now just $24, this easy blouse is an obvious add-to-cart. The top has subtly puffed sleeves and a scooped neck, making it simple but sweet. That look allows it to be worn everywhere and with everything. At the office, you could wear it with trousers or even trouser-inspired jeans, and on the weekend, pair the lightweight cotton top with equally breezy linen shorts.

The Melody Bubble-Hem Smocked Midi Dress

Madewell The Melody Bubble-Hem Smocked Midi Dress in Poplin $148 $60 at Madewell.com

This dress combines two of summer’s biggest trends: smocked bodices and bubble hems, giving you cool texture at the top and major volume at the bottom. And because the dress has so many eye-catching elements, you get to keep the rest of your outfit super simple (I love when getting dressed takes zero thought!). More than 2,000 shoppers have added the dress to their cart in the past week, so if you want it, don’t wait to secure your size.
