With temperatures on the rise, I've officially begun the process of building my summer capsule wardrobe. I’m specifically on the hunt for pieces that I can easily cycle through my outfit rotation—simple silhouettes, neutral color palettes, and timeless styles are all top of mind. So naturally, I’ve turned to Madewell, which just so happens to have some of the most dreamy summer staples on the market right now. And to make things even sweeter, the cult favorite label hosts a major Memorial Day Sale that's too good to pass up.

From now until Tuesday, May 28, Madewell will offer up to 25 percent off on all sale styles. Items that are already marked down have been further reduced in price. While scrolling through the brand’s sale section, I discovered a linen white dress for $50, a pair of flowy wide-leg pants for $40, and a classic button-down shirt for $25 and promptly added them to my shopping cart, plus a handful of other clothes and accessories that will perfectly round out my summer capsule wardrobe.

Consider this a fashion editor’s guide to the best Madewell sale finds. Keep scrolling, and you’ll find a list of all the warm-weather essentials that caught my eye. Oh, and did I mention everything ahead is below $100? You're welcome.
