Madewell’s Latest Collection Is Peak Cool Girl—Shop Our Fave Styles

Madewell is already an authority in the jean department but now the retailer is leveling up its game by partnering with the “Denim Whisperer” himself, Benjamin Talley Smith. 

The fashion icon and founder of renowned denim atelier Talley Creative is bringing his denim expertise—which includes 20 years of experience and a superior standard for fit, construction, and longevity—to Madewell with an entire collection of styles.

Everything in the collab was handcrafted in Los Angeles by up to 30 skilled artisans and the proof is in the details. Everything feels intentional, from the pocket placement and leather tabs to the custom main label that’s hand-sewn on a vintage shuttle loom.

Keep scrolling to shop the collection—including stunning denim styles, classic tees, the perfect oversized sweatshirt, and more. 

You’ll get so much wear out of this classic Boxy Tee. Style it with jeans, skirts, athleisure, sweats, you name it. It’s pretty much free when you break down the costs per wear. 

You can just tell how thoughtfully made the Putney Jeans really are Each pair is crafted by hand and the iconic straight-leg silhouette is so classic with a flattering mid-rise and double-needle western stitching all along the outseam. 

Allow me to introduce you to the coziest oversized sweatshirt. It has that “borrowed-from-the-boys” feel without looking frumpy and pairs so well with the rest of the denim from the collection—especially the Putney Mid-Rise Straight Jean.

The Allerton is the chicest hybrid between a barn jacket and a classic jean jacket. It has a chic shrunken silhouette, suede collar, and multiple pockets with maze-inspired buttons. Pair it with the coordinating Coolidge Jeans for a cohesive canadian tuxedo look

The Armory Classic Sweatshirt will be a staple in your closet—trust me. It’s made from the softest fabric and the style pays homage to the vintage collegiate crewnecks we all know and love.

Speaking of barn jackets, this version is so on trend—but still classic enough you’ll keep it around for years to come. Level up the look even more by wearing it with the Coolidge Jeans in the same chalk wash. 

Forget the whole “no white after Labor Day” rule. You can wear these low-rise jeans in the chalk wash all 12 months. Ever heard of winter whites!? They’ll be in constant rotation in your closet.
