The Super-Chic Madewell Items I'm Telling All My Friends About

Madewell is a go-to brand for many. In fact, most of our editors consider it a one-stop shop for top-notch basics and trendier finds. I also routinely recommend it to my friends and family when they ask me for shopping tips. Fun fact: My mother actually recently became obsessed with the brand, and she can’t get enough of the denim cuts. She also asked me for advice on a few other pieces I liked from Madewell that she could consider for the season. I sent her five super-chic pieces and also made a note to send the pieces to other friends of mine who ask for styling advice.
Naturally, I wanted to share the Madewell summer items I’m loving with you as well in case you’re looking to refresh your offering. The first five items below are the specific pieces I recently suggested to my friends and family. There’s also a smattering of other items if you keep going, including sleek shorts, adorable tops, and shoe picks.
