The silver lining of summer ending is all the early Labor Day sales — with some especially good deals available on “soon-to-be-off-season items,” according to our deals editor. But Madewell’s current sale is an exception. The brand is taking 30 percent off “pre-fall” goods (plus an extra 30 percent off items that are already on sale) with code COOLDOWN — think leather jackets, layerable shirtdresses, and lots of denim. One of our favorite styles of Madewell jeans, the Kick Out Crop, is discounted in two washes: Starkey, an off-black shade with a finished hem, and Cherryville, a medium blue with a raw hem. Originally $138, the pair comes out to around $97 at checkout. These are an updated version of the brand’s popular Cali Demi cut with a more flared flare and some Spandex in the denim for stretch. (The jeans are available in sizes 23 to 33, and the brand recommends sizing down.) They’re also some of our favorite jeans for tall women, though the tall sizes are almost sold out already, as are the petites, so shop quick.
