In honor of its latest partnership with Spotify, we asked Madewell's head of design, Somsack Sikhounmuong, to dish on the label's "greatest hits" for Summer — and just in time for Memorial Day. When you consider that the brand has been a favorite for its go-to basics with a breezy, lived-in feel, we could think of no designer better qualified to give us exactly what we need for the season in five easy pieces. Scroll for the few, no-fuss pieces on Somsack's Summer must-have list.
1 Oversize Jean Vest
"With Summer concert season upon us, this is a great layering piece. Put it on as the sun sets and it gets a bit chilly but the music is still going."
Oversized Jean Vest ($118)
2 Printed Cover-Up Jumpsuit
"One step and you are dressed and ready to go for Summer. No-fuss dressing at its purest."
3 Cool White Shirtdress
"Beat the heat in an easy white men's-inspired shirtdress. You can wear it with sandals as a dress or pair it with skinny jeans and wear it as a tunic."
Courtyard Shirtdress ($75)
4 Perfect Summer Jean in White
"Huge fan of a white jean for Summer but even more so in the Fall. In the Summer, wear with a white tee, but in the fall pair them with a beautiful cream sweater for a chic monochromatic look."
5 Twin-Pouch Crossbody
"Love this little guy. It is great for when you don't need to carry too much. In the Summer with shorts and a tank or in the Fall where you crossbody it over your outfit and then a coat over top."
The Twin-Pouch Crossbody ($138)
