I Found the #1 Summer Top on Madewell Right Now (and It's $35)

One of the perks of spending countless hours online for work is that I can spot new gems the moment they arrive on a retailer's website. Every once in a while, something stops me in my tracks while scrolling—something that truly stands out from the pack, is well-priced, and sets off sellout-worthy alarm bells in my mind. And that, my friends, leads me to my favorite Madewell item.
Madewell's Gingham Bow-Front Tee, currently on sale for $35, does what very few brands have done for me lately: Convince me that I need another T-shirt. For starters, the gingham pattern aligns with one of the biggest summer print trends right now. But of course, one look at this top and you'll know what's the best details: the cute bows down the middle. Scroll down to shop the T-shirt that stopped me in my tracks as well as my other Madewell picks.
