August Edit | Madewell Favorites for Late-Summer Style

August always feels like a transition month. Summer’s still here, but Fall is starting to whisper that it’s on the way. This month’s edit is all about easy pieces that hold onto Summer’s lightness while nodding toward more polished styling, and Madewell always hits that sweet spot. Looking to add something new to help transition this season? Here are a few key pieces we are loving.

Madewell Saddle Creek

First up: the Poplin Seamed Maxi Dress in fiery orange. It’s bold but wearable, with a breezy shape that’s great for hot days but structured enough to dress up. Pair it with flat sandals now, and layer on a denim jacket later.

Matching sets are still going strong, and the Resort-Collar Shirt with the coordinating shorts makes for a relaxed but pulled-together look. It’s a linen-blend (so breathable), and the kind of outfit that works just as well for a quick coffee run as it does for brunch on the patio.

For something more styled, we love the Denim Scoopneck Cutaway Vest paired with the Denim Midi Skirt. The double denim works here because the silhouette is clean, and the neckline gives it a fresh update. Add a patterned silk bandana at the neck and a small tote for a little French-girl twist.

Lastly, the Embroidered Drop-Waist Maxi Dress in cream is a quiet standout. The all-over eyelet detail makes it feel special without trying too hard. It’s the kind of piece you can wear barefoot in the backyard or dress up for dinner.

And of course, no outfit is complete without the right accessories. Madewell’s textured totes—think woven leather, soft suede, and rope mini bags—bring a handcrafted feel that adds interest without overpowering.

Their jewelry this season leans gold and sculptural: we’re loving the shell necklace set, freshwater pearl drop earrings, gold cherry statement earrings, and simple gold bangles. For something a bit more personal, try the Semiprecious U-Link Charm Necklace. It’s eye-catching without being overdone.

This edit is all about easy layering, soft structure, and feeling good in what you wear, no matter how hot the day or how early the sunset.

This striped linen matching set was basically made for sipping espresso in a sunny piazza. The back tie details on the top give it a feminine touch, and the whole look works equally well with sandals or sneakers for days spent wandering cobblestone streets.

A classic denim mini skirt styled with a fitted tank and a crochet vest layered on top is so easy and so cute. This one’s perfect for casual market strolls or beach town exploring. Add a woven straw cowboy hat to complete the look.

White crochet pants might sound risky, but trust us-they’re breezy, boho, and surprisingly versatile. We paired them with a pretty butter yellow babydoll top (hello, color of the season!) and a pearl choker to keep the look dressy, but you can easily toss on a tee and flat sandals and you’re set for anything from brunch to a museum visit.

This cute satin mini dress is playful, flirty, and perfect for dinner al fresco. Seriously, how fun is this print? Bonus: it packs like a dream and doesn’t wrinkle easily. Win-win. We styled it with a charm necklace (all the rage right now), and a straw bag with pearl accents for an added pop of texture.

No matter where your Summer takes you, these pieces from Altar’d State are lightweight, easy to mix and match, and totally Instagram-worthy. Just don’t forget your passport!

It’s likely that you’re itching to add in some new pieces to your Summer wardrobe, and Altar’d State has in a ton of new arrivals to help you get your fashion fix. We’re in the thick of Summer, but they’ve also started to get in their transitional pieces as well (most stores start to get these in when “Back to School” is on the horizon), so you can find a really good mix of dresses, denim, jackets, cardigans and sweaters, and denim.

90s inspired style is still a hot trend (I honestly don’t think it will ever go away), so you’ll feel a little bit of nostalgia when you shop. Warmer weather means that it’s time to clear out anything you don’t love anymore so that you can make room for more covetable items, so if you’re on the hunt for some newness, here are some Summer Essentials from Altar’d State!

Altar'd State Tia Midi Dress

Tia Midi Dress
The midi length offers a timeless and sophisticated look, perfect for both casual outings and special occasions alike. Wear as is now, and top with your favorite moto jacket in the fall for a sleek 90s inspired look.

Summer Essentials with Madewell

While everyone has their own personal style, there are still pieces that people will stock their wardrobe with and reach for every season. Summer is known for its easy, breezy classics, and Madewell is a great place to find pieces that are classic, yet still on trend for the season.

Summer Essentials with Madewell

We have a few more weeks of Summer remaining, so if you’re in need of a few wardrobe refreshers, here are a few Summer essentials that you should consider picking up from Madewell.

Dresses
Keeping cool during the Summer is a MUST, so obviously dresses should be on your wardrobe list. Because we are in a transitional period, however, I’d advise picking out dresses in darker prints, neutrals and more muted tones vs. super bright colors so that you can easily transition them into the Fall. Pair now with your favorite sandals, then switch over to ankle booties and layer a white or denim jacket over it.

Flare Denim
While flare denim is usually reserved for Fall outfits, now’s the perfect time to add a pair to your wardrobe. Pair them with an easy, retro style tee and sandals for now, and then swap those out for booties and a flowy, boho style blouse.

Leather handbags
In addition to jewelry, find a fun, leather handbag that you can wear everyday. Cognac and beige are great neutrals, but don’t be afraid to try a fun color as well.

Summer Essentials with Madewell

White Denim
White denim that fits great, has a little bit of stretch without being tight and is not too thin is hard to find, but Madewell’s Perfect Vintage Jean is amazing. The premium denim also has a tapered leg, which makes it a perfect length for both flats and heels. Paired with a laidback, popover blouse in a punchy color is Summertime perfection.

Summer Essentials with Madewell

Denim Shorts
You can’t go wrong with a pair of denim shorts in a classic light or medium wash. These will be shorts that you live in and can pair with just about anything.

Summer Essentials with Madewell

There’s so much that you can still add to your wardrobe this Summer, and Madewell has you covered with the classics!
