As my best friend likes to say, “luck favors the prepared.” And that especially rings true when it comes to curating my warm-weather wardrobe (say that three times). Sure, summer may be weeks away, but a little prep is never a bad idea. Many times, if you want to land a good bathing suit, it helps to look before they’re in season (or at least before they all sell out). Retailers like Madewell know this all too well and are currently giving shoppers the chance to stock up on all their summer essentials for a major discount.
From now until May 9, you can score 20 percent off on dozens of the brand’s most popular dresses, sandals, shorts, and tees. This includes many best sellers, like the Sophia Midi Dress, as well as items already on sale. (That’s right, a deal on top of a deal!) Just remember to use code WARMUP at checkout to secure your savings and you’re good to go.
However, if you’re not sure what’s worth taking a peek at, we’ve made it easy for you. Keep reading to see our top picks on what to snag during Madewell’s summer sale, all of which will help keep you breezy for next season and beyond. Shop the entire sale here.
