I’m Styling These Chic Spring Outfits With Madewell’s Sale Section
Consider your warm-weather wardrobe complete.


With the sweet scent of florals floating through the air, it’s officially time for me to build a steady rotation of spring outfits. I’m on a mission to swap my heavy coats and jackets for lightweight outerwear such as blazers and barn jackets. I’m also planning to fill my seasonal capsule wardrobe with other breezy pieces like floral frocks, denim Bermuda shorts, and ballet flats. Luckily for me, I’ve found all these spring staples and more in Madewell’s sale section.
At this very moment, the beloved retailer is offering up to 75 percent off select styles. Scroll through Madewell’s site and you’ll find a range of marked-down items from beach-ready shirtdresses for $40 to flowy satin slip skirts priced at $20. You’ll even spot some of the most coveted spring trends, like sporty rugby shirts and corporate-inspired tailored vests.
So, if you want to get a head start on spring shopping, look no further. Ahead, I’ve put together a handpicked list of essentials that will work for practically any occasion, whether you’re commuting into the office on a balmy day or relaxing by the shore during a coastal getaway.
If you're willing to take a plunge into fashion’s fisherman aesthetic, slip into a nautical-esque Breton shirt. Crafted with classic navy-and-white stripes, this top has “take me to the beach” written all over it.
No collection of spring shoes is complete without a pair of Mary Janes. Madewell’s version puts an edgy twist on the charming style with a bold buckle strap and a crystal-adorned exterior.
Don’t wait until Memorial Day to pull on a pair of white jeans. For a straightforward spring outfit, wear this cropped option alongside a button-up top and a pair of boat shoes. Throw a cardigan over your shoulders if temperatures decide to dip.
Upgrade your spring work uniforms with this cream blazer. Given its neutral color, this layer will work overtime by pairing well with just about any office-appropriate look.
Perhaps the most versatile top of all is a white button-down shirt. Style it with a pair of jeans for a casual outing or layer it above a bathing suit for a seaside adventure.
Whether you wear it alone or beneath a sweater, a tank top is a crucial closet mainstay that’ll work with a variety of outfits. And given that this top is $25, I’d suggest grabbing two.
I’m planning a weekend vacation by the beach, and after seeing this bikini top from Madewell, I knew my carry on bag wouldn't be complete without it. Drenched in a viral hue of chocolate brown, I can easily see myself wearing this trendy top on repeat.
If the bikini top above caught your eye, I’ve included the matching bottoms here. Complete your airy outfit with a cover-up and a pair of flip-flops.
Madewell’s sleeveless mini dress conveys a level of sophistication with a high square neckline and a flattering construction. Embellish this look even further with elevated wedge sandals, a charming lady jacket, and a glossy handbag.
Everyone needs at least one crewneck tee. If you already have plenty of white T-shirts, mix things up a bit with a beige alternative. This top will look great alongside wide-leg jeans and a pair of trendy sneakers.
When you’re tired of wearing jeans, slip into a denim skirt that provides a roomier fit. Madewell’s version also has a slit along the front, so it’s ideal for sweat-inducing days.
I already have several tailored vests, but I’ll be adding this sharp black piece to my closet immediately. The styling options are endless, but I’ll likely team this top with a matching pair of tailored trousers and mules.
While revamping your spring wardrobe, don’t forget to give your jewelry collection a refresh, too. Start with these curved statement earrings, which put a whimsical twist on the standard gold hoop style.
If the barn jacket trend is too rugged for your taste, try Madewell’s Flap-Pocket Field Jacket. This layer is covered in a dainty shade of blush pink that falls right in line with the girlhood aesthetic.
According to the Spring 2025 runways, rugby shirts are on the rise. Follow Hailey Bieber’s style lead and wear this athletic-inspired top with a mini skirt and ballet flats.
Round out your lineup of preppy outfits with this short-sleeved polo top. Go full-on school girl by styling this collared shirt with a pleated skirt and loafers.
As someone whose closet is defined by ‘90s minimalism, it’s no surprise that a slinky slip skirt has made its way into my shopping cart. I’ll dress this piece up with a tank top, strappy sandals, and hoop earrings to really give off a vintage vibe.
