Plus-size Madewell Steals

I have struggled over the years to find a great pair of jeans. If I found a pair that came up high enough, they were too loose in the hips/butt. If I found a pair that fit in the butt area, then they were too loose in the waist. Some seemed to be a good fit until the thighs wore out quickly.

Then I discovered Madewell jeans. While I hate that the plus sizes aren’t in stores, I’ve had really good luck ordering online! The denim is structured without being too stiff and stretchy without bagging out. They recommend you wear 10 times before you wash. While I don’t ever make it that long, all four pairs I own have held up so well. No wear in the thighs. After a year or more, they still hold their shape through several wears.

Madewell jeans are absolutely an investment. They run around $135 per pair, but if you keep an eye out for sales, you can get lucky and find a great pair for not too much money.

The ones I’m wearing here I got two summers ago for around $40 when they were on major sale on Madewell’s website.

Another great place to find Madewell deals is at Nordstrom Rack! While every store is hit or miss, depending on their inventory, I love checking out their website for great deals. And Nordstrom Rack has some great deals on Madewell styles that come in plus and straight sizes!
