Mall brands are having a major comeback and Madewell is leading the charge. As the sister brand of J.Crew, Madewell has built a strong reputation for creating simple yet stylish basics. It's a go-to retailer for great denim (the just-launched Dean Easy Straight Jeans ($148) have already won editors' hearts), chic bags and belts that constantly sell out, and both on-trend and classic footwear. Plus, the brand's cool collaborations—from chic suede trenches with Tumblr queen Alexa Chung to vibrantly printed pieces with Lisa Says Gah—always go viral. In short, Madewell is well worth your attention.
Capsule wardrobe enthusiasts rejoice—I've curated a collection of the brand's best pieces below, including polished outerwear, easygoing knitwear, and office-ready looks that offer the perfect everyday uniform. Don’t just take my word for it. Keep scrolling to officially hop on the Madewell train.
