A few editor-approved jeans up for grabs during the Madewell Insider Sale in 2025.
Madewell/Design for PureWow

Working on getting your spring capsule wardrobe together without breaking the bank? You're not the only one. Thankfully, Madewell (one of PureWow editors' favorite minimalist clothing brands) has our backs this season. Yes, you guessed it, the Madewell Insiders Sale is back from now through March 23, and with it? A 25 percent sitewide discount for Insiders, plus an additional 40 percent off sale styles. Not a member? Not a problem—you can sign up for free right this minute to gain access to the sale and score free shipping on your order today (and always), along with a boatload of other loyalty perks.

While you can save on almost everything over the next few days with your Insider status (including this super posh and spring-ready midi dress), the deals on jeans are not to be missed, with pairs like this editor-approved cropped style marked down for as low as $50. No, I'm not kidding, guys. This sale is major, which is why I took the liberty of rounding up three denim picks that come highly recommended by PureWow editors, so you know you'll be getting the best fit for your buck (and butt). Happy jean shopping!

With warmer temps comes shorter hems, so now's the time to go all in on cropped pairs. You know, like this cotton/recycled polyester/elastane style that has a stamp of approval from not one, but three PureWow editors. “I'm 5’4” with short legs, and the petite size is actually cropped on me, yay!” raves Senior Editor Dana Dickey. “The medium rise sleekly hugs my rear and tummy...[and] the 2 percent elastane makes for a stretchy fit that doesn't get too stretched out.” The 2 percent elastane also indicates an extended shelf life, so these jeans are likely to last you for years. You can read all about the elastane rule in this story, but I suggest you add this style to your cart before other shoppers beat you to it.

Prefer your pants with a wider leg? Well, one former PureWow editor is obsessed with this high-waist style that has a touch of stretch that makes them comfortable right out of the box. “These feel like a go-to pair of cozy jeans you throw on with your favorite T-shirt or dress up with heels,” she explains. “And they fit my curves like a glove. I love the finished hem and that I was able to get them in the tall length for my long legs.” FYI, they come in three lengths, so whether you're short or tall, these jeans are likely to be a hit. The fact that they feature the brand's signature Magic pockets (which literally work like magic to hold you in)? Just the cherry on top of this already great score.

While the silhouette might still be slightly controversial, barrel jeans aren't going anywhere this spring. That said, if you want to try the trend for yourself (or are already a fan), there's no question whether you should secure this petite-friendly style, which not only won over PureWow Senior Commerce Editor Stephanie Maida, but also a former editor who reviewed them for a PureWow100 and was pleasantly surprised by how well they flattered her wide hips. "To my surprise, because of the fitted waist and space before the side seams barrel out, it actually [makes] my waist and hips look narrower with the width of the legs," she wrote. Add to that their rigid, 100 percent cotton denim and unique darting at the knees, and they're a must.
