I’m shopping linen dresses and wide-leg jeans during Madewell’s Memorial Day sale.

I’ve been slowly adding summer styles to my wishlist for months waiting for this very weekend to finally grab them, and I’m glad I held out—especially when it came to my Madewell must-haves. TBH, I almost always wait for sales to shop the brand because, as a former employee, I know that they happen more often than not, but even I was shocked by how steep the savings are this weekend.

During Madewell’s Memorial Day Sale, already-discounted items are an extra 25 percent off with the code LONGWEEKEND—with those stacked discounts, some styles are now 81 percent off. While I originally only intended to grab a few things, I now essentially have an entire summer wardrobe in my cart. Can you blame me?

Below, find everything I’m shopping from the sale-on-sale, including a linen dress, wide-leg jeans, and a leather tote bag, starting at $15.

10 Madewell Memorial Day Deals

Button-Tab Wide-Legs Pants

These now-$30 trousers are the perfect summer pants thanks to their classic white color, breezy wide leg, and 100-percent cotton design. The pants sit high on the waist and have button tabs at each side that allow you to cinch it in further or loosen it for what shoppers call the “perfect fitted waist”—it’s a detail I love because sometimes what fits comfortably in the morning is a little tight by the evening. Between that and the contrasting brown stitching, these are far from your typical wide-leg trousers.

Crochet-Knit Crewneck Sweater Tank

Tan France told me that crochet would be everywhere this summer, so I’m grabbing this top while it’s on sale for $41. I love that it combines elevated materials with a classic silhouette: It’s the chicest version of a classic white tank top. And according to shoppers, it’s a “must-have” for your summer wardrobe, writing that it dresses up and down with ease while having the perfect fit.

The Ariana Midi Dress

A body-skimming mid-length dress is one of those pieces I think everyone needs in their closet because of how flattering and versatile it is. And with this pick that shoppers say “fits like a glove” now on sale for $52, you have no excuse not to grab it while it’s still available. The Ariana dress is available in three colors, but I’m loving this baby blue one with a darling floral print for summer. A curvy shopper called the fit “perfect,” the style “elegant,” and the weight ideal for summer heat. Plus, they can wear it everywhere, they wrote, noting that they’ve layered a button-down over it for work and paired it with simple sandals for a casual, every-day look.
