Now that Memorial Day weekend has gone and passed, it feels like the official start of summer. The days are longer, hemlines are shorter, and according to Madewell, the sales are bigger. To kick off the beginning of the warm-weather season, the retailer just launched a massive Memorial Day sale and it's full of timeless finds I'm stocking up on.
While I've been a Madewell convert since rediscovering my love for the website earlier this spring, there are so many elevated pieces I immediately added to my cart. From celeb-approved linen pants to leather slides and poplin dresses, no shortage of timeless basics and summer staples that will outgrow your closet. If you're anything like me, you can't pass up a good deal. With prices this good, it's your earliest chance to stock up on pieces that'll never go out of style.
If you aren't able to score some of these major deals during the Memorial Day Weekend Sale, a few best-selling Madewell pieces are still heavily in stock. Scroll below to see all of the pieces I simply couldn't say no to.
