With this bag, Madewell was on a quest to create a design that would be, in their words, "equally vintage and modern" as the perfect pairing for just about any outfit — and they totally succeeded. The soft leather construction is absolutely gorgeous quality for such an amazing price (under $150!), and you can choose between the adjustable crossbody strap or long top handles to carry it as you please.
"I never write reviews, but I've had this bag for about a year and love it so much," raved a shopper. "I swear it defies the laws of physics. Visually it reads as an average size crossbody bag, but it fits SO MUCH without feeling overstuffed. On multiple occasions I've carried a bottle of wine in it, with plenty of room to spare for phone, keys, wallet, sunglasses, lip balm, hand sanitizer, hand cream, and a paperback. How?? It's a mystery."
Neckin' season will soon be here — turtle-neckin' season, that is — and it's time to stock your closet before temps dip ever so much lower. This wide rib turtleneck sweater will be a lovely addition to any winter wardrobe, knit from cotton-blend yarn for premium softness and a crafted with a slouchy, relaxed fit look that will keep you looking great and feeling cozy until spring.
"This sweater is adorable," wrote a fan. "I ordered my usual size L and it's oversized but not sloppy. The turtleneck fits just right — not too tight or too loose ... The wide rib knit gives it welcome texture." They added, "The only thing that could make it better IMO would be an extra 2 inches of length in the hem because the side slits are so high (I'm 5'6"). But I'm wearing it now on a cold day and it's very warm and cozy!"
These stylishly slouchy, 100% cotton jeans will feel almost as comfortable as your PJs, thanks to their looser fit. Oversize is in, so wear these for the ultimate comfy-chic look.
"I love these jeans!" exclaimed a reviewer. "I was concerned they would be too trendy, but they are totally classic. They can be worn with sneakers, clogs or loafers. The fit is comfortable and relaxed for me. Just what I was looking for. ... They don't look oversized or baggy on me, either. If you're like me and don't like your jeans cutting into your stomach, go with your regular size."
Everyone needs a cozy cardigan in their winter wardrobe. This one is a Madewell bestseller made of a wool-cotton blend that reviewers say is soft, not itchy. You can wear it over leggings, jeans or slacks, and the longer length makes it a flattering pick.
"I love this cardigan!" gushed a shopper. "It is a great basic for the fall/winter. ... It's slightly oversized, but that is exactly what I was looking for. I also love that it is full-length and not cropped. Quality seems very nice and it is not itchy at all. Definitely recommend!"
Miss the ’90s? These vintage-style jeans will take you right back, with their leg-elongating high waist and tapered silhouette. The fabric has a bit of stretch and are just the right amount of broken-in for a soft touch.
"Great wash and quality — will have them for a long time!" shared a fan, adding, "These run small!"
Stay nice and warm via this fleece jacket, which has a slightly cropped cut and is made from 100% recycled materials. It also has four zippered pockets for stashing small essentials, as well as a breeze-blocking collar to help keep the chill out.
"I'm living in this fleece," wrote a five-star reviewer. "It is the perfect shape and the pockets hold so much! It is so warm and cozy."
Lightweight and perfectly slouchy, this bestselling crewneck is made from soft yarn and has a cozy ribbed texture. It's perfect for layering under coats and jackets without making you feel overheated, and the drop shoulders are stylish.
"I bought this last month ... and I am obsessed," raved a fan. "It’s so soft, lightweight, cozy and flattering. The ribbing/knit texture and the light weight make this piece unique. I have worn it as an elevated oversized sweatshirt with leggings and as a beautiful/classy sweater with a tan pencil skirt to work. ... I wanted that oversized look, so I sized up. Really hope Madewell keeps this in the rotation for a long time and adds more colors!"
You'll get a kick out of wearing these of-the-moment cropped jeans, with a mid-rise cut and slight flare they're sure to flatter your figure. Even better? These babies have great stretch, so you'll slip 'em right on without feeling sucked in. Choose from a variety of colors and washes (though be aware not every one is on sale).
"I 100% think these jeans are a perfect gateway into becoming obsessed with the style and fit of Madewell jeans. When compared to other popular brands also doing the demi boot/kick out crop jean, these are reign supreme," wrote a fan. "It's now been three weeks and I'm still wearing them 3x a week for work meetings and casual hang outs." They also advised, "Go down a size because of the stretch; if you have a belly, don't worry because these are so flattering, the black black color is stellar and the jean looks lovely with ballet flats/Chelsea boots. A win!"
You'll be able to pair these cream-colored kicks with everything from jeans and leggings to long skirts and dresses. The bouncy soles offer cushioning, and these days it's more than acceptable to wear (off)-white after Labor Day.
"My new favorites," said a happy customer. "These are really great quality and fit true to size. I have to have lightweight shoes, and these are perfect! Feel really comfortable, and the style is great for jeans/leggings. Very versatile style."
Made of slick leather, these lace-up beauties are fall and winter boot perfection, with their ever-so-slight heel and goes-with-everything look. Wear ’em with tights, cuffed jeans, maxi skirts — you name it.
"Amazing boots!" exclaimed a shopper. "Great quality, style and fit! ... They fit perfectly with some room for socks, if needed. Happy with my purchase."
