What\u2019s that thing called where the clock strikes midnight, you turn 30, and suddenly you\u2019re like, \u201cuh, where am I supposed to shop now?<\/em>\u201d If you\u2019re like me, or Em, or literally anyone who has ever worked at EHD the answer has probably been \u201cMadewell\u201d \u2013 but what happens if you want to expand your options a bit? <\/p>\n

THAT\u2019S WHERE I COME IN, PAL! Today, I\u2019m introducing you to 17 tried-and-true retailers at different price points who capture that same cool, effortless, Madewell aesthetic that we all know and love. Each brand is labeled with their available sizing \u2013 I\u2019m recommending some businesses that carry sizes through 4X! \u2013 and I\u2019ve also noted the price points (from $ to $$$$, to avoid any \u201cSay Yes to the Dress\u201d syndrome where you fall in love with something that\u2019s not currently in the budget). Let\u2019s begin with an EHD fav\u2026<\/p>\n

Our Review<\/strong>: Ooooh, y\u2019all are gonna love this one: ABLE<\/a> is a sustainable brand working to create jobs for women\u2026and their leather goods, jewelry, apparel, denim, and shoes are heirloom-quality at an achievable price, to boot. (Amy Poehler had it right: women do get things done!) Check out ABLE for quiet, cool, put-together looks and ethical Madewell lookalikes.<\/p>\n

Our Review<\/strong>: If you also love scrolling the Alex Mill website<\/a>, it\u2019s for a good reason: this is some LEGACY good design. The team behind the scenes? Alex Drexler (the OG, who started selling shirts in 2012), Somsack Sikhounmuong (the former Creative Director of Madewell and J. Crew), and, uh, Mickey freakin\u2019 Drexler (founder of Old Navy and Madewell; former CEO of The Gap and J. Crew). If you\u2019re missing the Madewell and J. Crew of yore \u2013 you know, the kinds of clothes with clean colors, simple silhouettes, and fresh, delightful details \u2013 THIS IS WHERE THEY\u2019RE ALL AT NOW. You\u2019re welcome!<\/p>\n

Our Review<\/strong>: The Deep End button-up<\/a> inspired this entire post, actually! Last year, I mentioned that AYR\u2019s button-ups<\/a> were the best out there (this is coming from a gal who name-drops two Madewell pieces in her author bio) and it turns out that a lot of you agree! Visit AYR for quality, true-to-size, coastal Nancy Myers movie-esque pieces<\/a> that\u2019ll last the test of time (seriously, this is even one of Oprah\u2019s go-to basics brands!). And while you\u2019re at it, be sure to peek at their sale section<\/a> for huuuuuge markdowns. I love a business that knows how to throw us a deep discount, you know?<\/p>\n

Our Review<\/strong>: Elephant in the room: COS<\/a> has work to do on the sizing front. But if you fall into the \u201cstraight size\u201d basket right now, this is a great source for chic, interesting, on-trend clothing that won\u2019t feel dated this time next year. COS excels at the classic details (those pleats<\/a>!), but they can also make a basic piece feel a little extra special (the neck on that dress<\/a> is incredible).<\/p>\n

1. The Utility Barrel Pant<\/a> | 2. The Washable Clean Silk Short-Sleeve Square Shirt<\/a> | 3. The Day Heel<\/a> | 4. The Half-Zip<\/a> | 5. The Carpenter Jean<\/a> | 6. The Organic Cotton Cutaway Tank<\/a><\/p>\n

Our Review<\/strong>: If you\u2019re also a little nosy (I am), you\u2019ll LOVE the material cost breakdowns at the bottom of each product. Everlane\u2019s<\/a> whole thing is \u201cradical transparency\u201d \u2013 they were one of the first movers to embrace the \u201ccutting out the middleman to reduce our prices\u201d messaging that the world\u2019s since come to know and love. Check them out for well-fitting denim, breezy linen, organic cotton tops, and special pieces that can take you from office to night out (hi, cute heels<\/a>!).<\/p>\n

Our Review<\/strong>: This is one of Em\u2019s favorite brands! (You can watch her video review of the romper above right here<\/a>.) If you\u2019re the \u201csave up, buy once, buy for life\u201d type, Frank & Eileen<\/a> ABSOLUTELY needs to be on your radar. They\u2019re a women-owned, women-led business producing ethical, sustainable pieces that\u2019ll stand the test of time. I mean, that dress<\/a>? Those chinos<\/a>? Even the cut of the henley<\/a> is considered and a little special! If you have the budget and you\u2019re ready to buy *THE* basic that you\u2019ll turn to for the rest of your life, this is a great option. Also if you would like a little discount use code: ESCAPE and it will remove $50 from your cart at checkout. One time use only and is good through 9\/1\/24.<\/p>\n

Our Review<\/strong>: Had to fit in one more splurge-y recommendation for those of you on the hunt for investment pieces! The Great<\/a> is an incredible resource for the kind of clothing that people will stop you in the street to ask about (and I know this for a fact, because Em gets a BANANAS number of DMs on Instagram anytime she appears in stories wearing a piece from here, haha). If you\u2019re a Madewell lover who also enjoys the quirk and charm of Anthropologie, spend a few minutes browsing The Great\u2019s website \u2013 it\u2019s fun, even to just look, I swear!).<\/p>\n

Our Review<\/strong>: HOLD UP. J. CREW<\/a> IS SO, SO, SO GOOD AGAIN? There were a few years there where it felt like J. Crew kind of fell out of the cultural conversation, but if you haven\u2019t shopped there in a second, pop back in \u2013 OLD J. CREW IS BACK. Simple cuts, easy-to-mix-and-match basics, UNBELIEVABLY flattering dresses, MAJOR sales, and all in a beautifully-selected, curated color palette. I did a major wardrobe refresh with a ton of stuff from J. Crew and have been THRILLED with how well everything\u2019s held up so far (and it all looks good together, too!).<\/p>\n

Our Review<\/strong>: Monrow<\/a> is a go-to shop for those cool girls who embody the \u201cI woke up like this\/I just threw this on\u201d vibe. Their pieces drape beautifully, come in gorgeous earthy colors, and are cut in such a thoughtful way! Their sizing leaves a bit (or a lot) to be desired, but the oversized fit and flexible construction of their clothing means that their XL still feels comfortable and breezy. And, I mean\u2026how good is that denim top<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Our Review<\/strong>: As the owner of not one, not two, not three, but SIX pairs of Nisolos<\/a>, I say this: these shoes last forever and look better with age. I grabbed my first pair \u2013 the d\u2019Orsay oxford<\/a> \u2013 in 2019 after joining the team at EHD, and my collection has only grown since. Their summer sandals and slides are so cute, but their Chelsea boots and winter flats are ESSENTIAL (I survived multiple walking tours in icy, salted-out Quebec in these heeled boots<\/a>). Their pieces come in a variety of colors and tones, so you can find a nude shade that works for you! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.<\/p>\n

Our Review<\/strong>: OK GIRL, I SEE YOU. If you\u2019re used to the Old Navy<\/a> of olden times \u2013 you know, the place where you\u2019d stop in to buy an American flag shirt on your way to a July 4th celebration \u2013 you\u2019re missing out on high-quality, SUPER size-inclusive clothing that looks and feels WAY more expensive than you\u2019d expect. I mean, be real \u2013 if this didn\u2019t say \u201cOld Navy\u201d up top, I would have assumed these were from Madewell! Pop on over to the site and enjoy being pleasantly surprised by the new Old Navy.<\/p>\n

Our Review<\/strong>: We were introduced to Pact when Emily did a partnership<\/a> with them last year. We all really loved that they focus on basics, have a better size range than most, AND are super sustainable! Aside from comfort, it\u2019s their main focus \u2013 \u201cWe don\u2019t just claim sustainability, we certify it. We proudly partner with Fair Trade USA, Global Organic Textile Standard and SimpliZero to ensure our products, and our processes, support both people and planet.\u201d This is a great and affordable brand you should absolutely check out!<\/p>\n

Our Review<\/strong>: Quince<\/a> will be a new brand to a lot of y\u2019all, and you\u2019re in for a treat! If you\u2019re looking at these prices and thinking \u201cWait, you can\u2019t sell a responsibly-made, washable silk skirt<\/a> for $60?\u201d \u2013 QUINCE DOES, AND IT ROCKS. (Thousands of nearly-unanimous 5-star reviews can\u2019t be wrong!) The founders of Quince built their careers working at high-end brands but wanted to make the same high-quality essentials at an achievable price point for the average person. Mission accomplished, right?<\/p>\n

Our Review<\/strong>: Before I praise their clothing, I wanna take a second to call them out: Reformation<\/a>, GIRL, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? Why are the extended sizes banished to separate listings in a niche, difficult-to-find part of the website? It\u2019s SO FRUSTRATING. I don\u2019t want to \u201cWhere\u2019s Waldo\u201d my way around your website, I just want to buy a cute dress that I saw on Instagram! (For ease, here\u2019s the separate link to shop<\/a> if you\u2019re a 14-24.)<\/p>\n

ANYWAY. If you can manage to navigate the website without pulling an Andy Bernard (screaming; punching a hole in a wall), Reformation does<\/em> make gorgeous, sustainable clothing. They\u2019re most well-known for their dresses \u2013 you may recognize them as the go-to wedding guest dresses of millennial women across America \u2013 but their everyday basics, like these jeans<\/a> or this tank top<\/a>, are well-made and durable. (And to give them their flowers, they do have models with diverse body types! And they do make clothes that fit larger bodies! Except again, it does feel like it\u2019s been banished to the boonies, so \u00af\\_(\u30c4)_\/\u00af.)<\/p>\n

I clearly have a love\/hate relationship with Reformation, but I do have a platform here, and maybe it\u2019s big enough that they\u2019ll stop making my fellow 12\/14 + gals feel like freakin\u2019 lepers when we\u2019re just trying to give them a bunch of money! Anyway. Great clothes that will make you look\/feel like a princess, UI that actively works against extended-size shoppers. PLEASE FIX IT, REFORMATION! (I\u2019ll buy so much more, I swear!!!!)<\/p>\n

Our Review<\/strong>: PSA: The \u2018A New Day\u2019 line at Target<\/a>, in particular, is FILLED with good Madewell dupes. (I\u2019ll let the photos speak for themself.) But let me call out two pieces in particular \u2013 that bodysuit<\/a> has a fuller-coverage bottom, which is a DREAM for those of us who don\u2019t love thong bodysuits; Then I can\u2019t get over that CUTE Cami Vest<\/a>.

Our Review<\/strong>: A final, super-size-inclusive brand for my slow fashion fans! The cuts here are simple, oversized, and clean and the details are SO thoughtful (think reinforced buttons, fabrics that get better with each wash, and constant product iterations based on real customer feedback). If your style is unfussy, a bit earthy, and timeless\u2026Tradlands<\/a> might be your new favorite store, I think.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s it for me today \u2013 are there any brands you\u2019ve tried that you\u2019d like to recommend to the class? We\u2019re all ears\u2026 xx<\/p>\n
