Elevated Essentials With Madewell

Blog

Heading into Spring is one of the hardest times to get dressed, especially in Memphis. The weather is very chaotic (it may 70 degrees today, but 30 degrees tomorrow), so your best option is to reach for pieces that are transitional. Light layers in breathable fabrics are a must, and with Spring being only a few days a way, you can reach for brighter colors and patterns that will play nicely with your neutrals. Madewell currently has a great collection in store, featuring pieces that are must-haves right now.

Madewell’s 2023 Spring collection is both elevated and effortless, with key styles that will easily refresh your wardrobe. Here’s a highlight of some of the pieces that will be your go-tos.

The Harlow Wide-Leg Pant

Made of a drapey TENCEL™ lyocell and linen blend, these straight-leg pants have sailor-inspired button tabs at the waist.

V-Neck Sweater Tank

Cropped with an on-body fit, this V-neck sweater tank is easy to throw on and goes with any style jean or pant.

Puff-Sleeve Open-Back Midi Dress

Voluminous puff sleeves, ruffly tiers and a sexy tie-back cutout make it so special.

The Piazza Mini Crossbody Bag

With a cinchable drawstring, magnetic closure and an adjustable (and removable) shoulder strap, this mini crossbody can hold all the essentials.

Kacie Mini Shirtdress

A modern take on the retro shirtdress, this pretty mini dress features an open notched collar, flowy flutter sleeves and buttons down the front.

The Medium Transport Tote: Woven Leather Edition

2 ways to carry: with the top handles or the detachable shoulder strap.

The Perfect Vintage Wide-Leg Jean: Button Fly Edition

These cropped jeans combine the high fitted waist people love with slouchy wide legs (and a supercute stacked button fly).

The Signature Poplin Oversized Shirt

This button-up shirt has an oversized fit for a more relaxed vibe.

Dopamine Dressing | 3 Things You Need To Know

Blog

Dopamine Dressing (the idea of dressing to help boost your mood) is nothing new, but the trend of wearing bright colors and patterns became a huge focus in 2022 and doesn’t appear to be going anywhere anytime soon. Fashion has always been a form of self-expression, so what better way to show how you feel than incorporate your favorite hues into your wardrobe?

There is a slight art to following this trend, however, so I wanted to share 3 things you need to know when playing around with dopamine dressing.

Use Color Theory/A Color Wheel
How colors mix, match or contrast with each other will determine how well your look comes together. Simply put, some colors just work better together, so when in doubt, use a color wheel to help you decide what color combinations you want to try together. A few off the top of my head? Lime green and electric blue (with white to tie it together), pink and red, lavender and teal, fuchsia and neon green. You can also pick one shade in varying hues for a play on color-blocking. If you need help putting together colors, here’s a great source for color combinations that are currently trending.

Ease Into It With Accessories
If wearing a full-on brightly hued fit is just too much for your style, the easiest way to incorporate that dopamine hit into your look is with jewelry, shoes, and accessories. Keep your foundational pieces (dress, top, or bottoms) in a neutral color and then layer in a pop of color with a boldly-hued handbag, shoes, or even earrings. Some people can pull off dressing like the rainbow, but for most, a brightly colored bracelet or shoe will do.

Stick with Silhouettes You Love
Many times, people shy away from dopamine dressing because they fear that they have to go over the top when trying out the trend. This is NOT true! The safest way to try out this trend is to pick a silhouette that you already know is flattering on you, and then just step outside of your comfort zone when it comes to the pattern or color. Trying a new trend doesn’t mean you have to go against your own style rules; still think about the shape and what hues are flattering on your skin tone. There’s no point in trying a trend that you’ll 100% hate because you tried to do too much!

Fashion is meant to be fun, so the next time you need a boost in your mood when getting dressed, try out the dopamine dressing trend to see how it makes you feel!

Winter Wardrobe Essentials From Evereve

Blog

Just because it’s cold outside, doesn’t mean we have to throw caution to the wind and look frumpy when it comes to your style. You can still look good while braving the elements, honey! Evereve is known for being on with their styles each season, so I wanted to highlight a few winter wardrobe essentials from their store. Besides, living in the Mid-south DOES have some benefits when it comes to fashion: because our weather can be a bit um, chaotic during the traditional Winter months, you don’t have to stay completely bundled up until Spring. Temps range anywhere from the low 30s to the high 60s, so some days, all you’ll need is a light jacket to layer over your outfit.

If you’re looking to do a little update right now and interested in some “transitional pieces”, here are a few Winter wardrobe essentials (and style tips) from Evereve.

Winter White Blazer

Blazers will forever be a wardrobe staple, but this Winter white version is perfect for adding a little extra chicness to your look. Pair with a cropped denim in a similar share for a cool monochromatic look. It also has a hoodie for a touch of sportiness!

Faux Fur Bomber Jacket

A basic bomber is cool, but what about a cozy-chic update with this faux fur style? It pairs wonderfully with skinny denim (yes, skinny denim is here to STAY, regardless of what TikTok may try to tell you), and will really elevate any look that you pair with it.

Floral Kimono/Wrap

For all of my bohemian girls, this floral piece is for you. Yes, it’s Winter, but you can still rock a kimono right now. The boho-chic style is flattering on EVERYONE, and will give you a Penny-Lane look when paired with denim. This will also work layered over a jumpsuit for a more global look.

Textured Caro Joggers + Blouse

Joggers are a clutch wardrobe staple when you need to be dressed up a bit but don’t want to wear a traditional trouser pant or a dress. The key is to pair them with a drapey, dressier blouse, so why not go for a monochromatic look when you do?

Evereve is a contemporary, curated boutique for on-trend fashion that complements women’s busy lifestyles. Their in-store stylists focus on helping you find the perfect pieces that fit your personal style. Stop in to see what’s new (and what you need for your closet)!

Must-Try Fall Trends with Madewell

Blog

When I think of Fall, there are certain sartorial trends that will always come to mind: cozy knits, easy denim, and a touch of leather (amongst other things). Yes, we all have our own unique personal style, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge that there are certain pieces/trends that should make its way into our wardrobes when the temps begin to cool.

Madewell’s current Fall collection is full of those quintessential pieces to add in, so if you were looking for a little style inspo, here are some of the must-try Fall trends.

Houndstooth Boyfriend Blazer
One can never have too many blazers, and a relaxed-fit, houndstooth blazer is a perfect layering piece to add in for Fall. Pair it with your favorite distressed denim to dress them up a bit, or give your corporate trousers a more “cool girl” fit by wearing it over an easy tank and finishing the look with chunky loafers.

Plaid Skirt
Skirts are alway fun, and this hunter green color screams Fall. Wear with a chunky turtleneck sweater and ankle booties for a classic Fall look, or pair with tights and a leather jacket for a style that’s a little more mod. If you want to dress it down and keep it super casual, wear it with a denim jacket/button down or sweatshirt and sneakers.

Chunky Knit Sweater
Is it really Fall if you don’t wear a chunky knit sweater at some point? You honestly can never have too many because they literally go with everything, but if nothing else, add in an off white/cream color to wear with all of your minimalistic pieces.

A touch of leather
Whether it’s a classic moto jacket or a pair of leather trousers, you need a strong leather piece to add a bit of edge to any outfit. Moto jackets go with everything, and leather trousers can be dressed up or down depending on how you style them.

Don’t forget your beanie!

Easy Flannel
Flannel is another Fall staple, but not all style are created the same. Go for a more soft, neutral color palette to avoid looking like a lumberjack, and use it as a layering piece over your favorite pair of denim on days when it’s still a little cool out.

Classic Accessories
Gold hoops and layering necklaces will NEVER go out of style, and you will always need a pair of neutral/tan colored leather booties to wear with all of your skirts, denim, and maxi dresses.

Fall is such a fun season for style expression, and Madewell is constantly getting in new products, so pop in to see what’s new!
