Madewell’s fall collection just dropped, and it might be the brand’s best yet. The brand was once known exclusively for its denim (which, let’s be honest, still hits after all these years). But Madewell has evolved into a closet mainstay that delivers on every front—outerwear, accessories, footwear, you name it—and this season is no exception.
The fall lineup is stacked with everything I want to wear right now. The fresh denim silhouettes in classic straight and relaxed fits, supple suede outerwear that instantly elevates, boho-inspired tops made for layering, and unique accessories are already climbing to the top of my wish list. In short, it’s the kind of collection that makes you want to reimagine your entire wardrobe.
Naturally, I had to put a few pieces to the test IRL. The standouts? A suede chore blazer I never want to take off, low-slung baggy jeans that deliver effortless off-duty vibes, and studded ballet flats that bring just the right amount of edge to the year’s most-wanted shoe trend. In other words, the frontrunners of my fall style lineup. Scroll on to shop my Madewell favorites—from my in-store try-on to the pieces still lingering in my cart.
Madewell Fall Pieces I Can’t Stop Thinking About
The Low-Slung Baggy Utility Pants
I didn’t think utility pants could read this chic, but Madewell proved me wrong. The fabric is unbelievably soft and buttery, making them just as comfortable as they are elevated. They’re the kind of year-round staple that goes from a white ribbed tank in summer to a chunky knit come fall. I opted for the regular length here, which means they pair perfectly with a heeled ankle boot—or, if you prefer flats, a quick hem would do the trick. Equal parts WFH-friendly and office-ready, these pants are the definition of versatile.
The Mylie Ballet Flats
The Mylie Ballet Flats gave me sticker shock, but in the best way possible. With shoe prices climbing sky-high, finding a suede, studded pair under $150 feels like a small miracle. The fit is spot-on thanks to the higher upper (translation: no toe cleavage—bless you, Madewell). And the color options are just as good as the price. Think: baby blue suede, espresso brown, or a playful cow print. Finally, a functional and stylish flat—no compromises required.
The Long Chore Blazer in Suede
This was the very first piece to catch my eye when I walked into the store, and for good reason. I’ve been on the hunt for a suede jacket that doesn’t skew too Western or too rocker (easy on the hardware, please), and this strikes the perfect balance. Yes, it’s an investment, but it’s one that feels worth every penny. Suede only gets better with age, and this classic cut will never go out of style. I wore it out on a chilly night in NYC and received more compliments than I can count. Trust me, this is the jacket you’ll be glad you bought five years from now.
The Top-Zip Shoulder Bag
Last year, I nearly blew my budget on a suede bag, but thankfully, I held off. Madewell’s new collection offers a handful of suede options that rival the luxe versions for a fraction of the price, including this sleek top-zip shoulder bag. The east-west shape feels both on-trend and timeless, and trust me, it looks even better IRL. The only drawback? The color selection is almost too good—three shades, all equally irresistible, making it nearly impossible to pick just one.
The Low-Slung Baggy Crop Jeans
I’ve already worn these jeans a dozen times and counting. I’m 5 foot 3 inches and the cropped hem hits more like a full-length on me (which, honestly, is exactly how I like it). I hesitated when I saw the words “low-slung” on the tag, but on the body they sit closer to the hip—if not a touch higher—and are surprisingly flattering. The look is perfectly relaxed with a tee and sneakers, but add a kitten heel and a blazer, and suddenly they’re night-out approved.
More of My Madewell Fall Favorites
Fall knits inevitably need a refresh, and this one feels like an upgrade without the triple-digit price tag. It’s endlessly versatile—I’ve already thought of a dozen ways to style it.
Finding a great top (that isn’t a sweater) can feel impossible. This checked version is the perfect floral alternative, with a modern shape that keeps it from feeling stuffy.
It’s time our denim jackets got a facelift. This version feels instantly elevated thanks to its balloon sleeves and rich dark wash—ideal with trousers for work or layered over a midi dress on weekends.
A trench is a classic, but this one feels like a major upgrade. Strong enough to stand alone as the outfit, but sleek enough to ground more elevated looks.
I wore these all of last winter on repeat. The straight leg has just enough give to keep them comfortable, while still looking polished with an ankle boot and blazer. The new wash? Utter perfection.
The ideal jean for when you want something more dressed up. With a cut that’s somewhere between boot and wide leg, they magically lengthen legs—and the wash is chef’s kiss.
Satin pants that aren’t just black or cream? Finally. This pair feels rich and luxe, perfect for breaking up a denim-heavy fall rotation.
This bag literally stopped me in my tracks. It proves you don’t need a designer label for a fabulous bag collection—wear it as a wristlet, or undo the magnet to transform it into a mini top-handle.
Proof yet again that you don’t need to splurge to find “the one.” This bag nails every trend of the season while still feeling timeless enough to wear for years.
Knee-high boots are my fall MVP, and this pair is proof of why. They’re sleek, versatile, and honestly look just as good (if not better) than my designer pair.
