Get it, Madewell! All new plus-size items are now being released up to a size 28 or a 4X. Can I get a literal, “Hell, yeah!!!”? I am so excited to see one of my very favorite brands take extending sizes seriously. While their new fit of jeans may not be perfect for my body shape right now, I am here for all of the amazing new releases. The fit of their tops, jackets, and dresses are now actual perfection for me.
I am trying to focus on closet staples that I can mix and match with other things in my wardrobe while working for my everyday life. Which is super casual! I am leaning to a much cooler, street-style look instead of the overly feminine style I was loving before. Madewell keeps knocking it out of the park, and I will keep on shopping till I drop.
I know it is still a million degrees outside and will be for some time, but I can’t help but get excited about fall, back to school, and all things cozy. I am living for a matching sweat set, and this one is perfection. It is super soft on the inside and very warm! It fits true to size, though I sized up to my larger size in the sweater for an oversized vibe. I would suggest going with your smaller size for the bottoms if you are between.
I actually bought this same blazer when it first launched in the cream color. I didn’t think I really would get much wear out of it, so I gave it to my mom and immediately regretted it. It is the perfect low-key blazer in beautiful, quilted linen. It is super soft, floppy but structured, and slightly oversized. I went with my usual size, but if you are between or want a more fitted look, I would definitely consider going down.
I also decided to give the new fit of the Whisper Tee a try. I seem to be going through t-shirts like crazy with a little baby, and am changing my shirt multiple times a day. I went up to the 4X, because they used to fit very small and cropped. But with the new sizing and fit of the plus line at Madewell, the 4X was very oversized! I still really like the way it fits and now don’t have to worry about shrinkage, but going forward, I will probably buy the 3X for a more tailored look.
Love a button-front tank for layering or just wearing it all summer long. This one is a thick, quality material and fits generously. I appreciate that the armholes aren’t too big or gaping and it is the perfect length to front tuck or wear untucked.
Do you know when you put something on your body and just sigh with happiness?? This top is SO GOOD. I love it so much. It is super lightweight and fits my body just right. I love the drape to it and will definitely be buying it another color or two!

I don’t think I’ve seen such a great lineup in awhile! Found myself saying “love it” to each picture, especially that button-down tank top.
