I'm not exaggerating when I say I've been wearing Madewell for over a decade. And I have no plans to stop anytime soon. The retailer offers the perfect combination of timeless staples and easy-to-wear trends, making it my longtime go-to for everyday pieces.
Recently, I stumbled upon Madewell's list of "new classics: summer edition," which lays out the seven essential basics the brand thinks everyone should own. When Madewell talks, I listen. I immediately started taking notes. Keep scrolling to shop Madewell's list of the seven best summer basics.
1. Knit Tank Top
This perfect tank top comes in six different colors.
2. Minimal Sandals
I'd style these with cutoff denim shorts and a floaty white blouse.
3. Linen Shorts
Linen is perfect for summer because it's super breathable.
4. Poplin Shirt
Not only is this perfect for the office, but I'd also wear it unbuttoned over a swimsuit as a beach cover-up.
5. Minidress
Sleek and simple.
6. Straw Tote
It's not summer without a straw bag.
7. Denim Trousers
Yep, wide-leg pants are still trending.
