Ah, the hallmarks of summer: warmer temps, longer days, and a Madewell sale full of dangerously good deals. Of course, the brand is well-known for its high-quality denim, but what summer hasn't come with its fair share of Madewell tops and wear-everywhere bags from J.Crew's little (and dare we say much cooler) sister? 

This year, the Madewell Summer Sale is better than ever. Instead of marking down a select number of items, the brand is slashing prices sitewide with 25% off everything from May 20 through May 30. The only catch: You need to use the code LONGWEEKEND to score the deals and some exceptions do apply.

If you can't tell from the promo code, take this as Madewell's way of celebrating the upcoming Memorial Day holiday a little early. Because sitewide sales can be a little overwhelming, we combed Madewell's website to hand-select the picks that are 100% worth buying before they're gone. 

Apparel 

With the return of summer comes the return of shorter hems. Light and loose crop tops and sporty skirts you can wear from home to brunch to the gym home are a summer essential this year.

Denim

It wouldn't be a Madewell post without a healthy dose of discounted denim! Keep it casual with straight-leg jeans in the perfect vintage wash, or grab a pair of shorts with chef's kiss whiskering.

Swim

We've seen Madewell expand its swimsuit collection to almost-too-cute heights over the past few years. Case in point: The mint one-piece and abstract print bikini set included below.

Accessories

We're guessing you already own a signature cognac tote from the brand, so may we interest you in a moody red shoulder bag? Or perhaps a “goes-with-everything” baseball cap? The choice is yours.

Shoes

You may be familiar with Madewell's sneakers, but what about its durable sandals? Chunky footwear is here to stay, so consider investing in a pair of flatforms or fisherman-inspired clogs.
