I'm letting you know now: I'm the biggest Madewell stan on team Who What Wear, hands down. Every few months, I splurge on dozens of pieces from the cool American retailer, scrolling through the new-arrivals section like it's no one's business. Madewell, though, shines in the summer with hero-worthy styles like denim shorts, breezy dresses, and chic accessories that steal the show.
Below, I've rounded up the 30 best items you can't miss from Madewell's epic summer section. Some of my favorite items? Swoon-worthy off-the-shoulder knits, The Row–esque flip-flops, and, of course, irresistible denim. Happy shopping.
