8 Chic Madewell New Arrivals
1. Oversized Pullover Sweater
A trend that will continue well into 2026: the striped sweater. This icy blue stripe is the perfect knit to wear with a pair of light-wash jeans or white denim.
2. The Lexington Oversized Tote
This practical 100% leather tote is large enough to hold your laptop, phone, wallet, and all your daily necessities, making it a perfect functional office tote or chic weekender bag.
3. The Longline Straight Jean
I recently spent hours in a Madewell fitting room to find the best Madewell jeans. Spoiler: The Longline Straight Jean made the list. Its classic fit and soft fabrication make this the perfect denim for everyday wear.
4. Chunky-Knit Alpaca-Blend Turtleneck
Wrap up in warm, affordable winter sweaters this season with a cozy alpaca-blend turtleneck from Madewell. If you want to style it like a fashion person, then I suggest layering it over a boxy white tee and wide-leg trousers.
5. The Barrel-Leg Chino Pant
Barrel-leg pants aren't going anywhere soon. Embrace the billowy trend with these deep navy chino pants.
6. Drop-Shoulder Polo Sweater
A preppy polo is a fashion person's staple. Bonus point if you style it with a pair of boat shoes (another East Coast Prep classic).
7. The Lexington Shoulder Bag
Sleek and understated. Style this suede satchel with a pair of cuffed jeans and a white-button button-down for a casual, sophisticated look.
8. Denim Chore Jacket
This Denim Chore Jacket will be a popular choice among the style set come springtime. Wear it with a pair of cargo pants, barrel-leg jeans, or overalls to embrace that utility feel.
