Madewell Sale Dates (2025) | Year-Round Sales Calendar

The Insiders Events happen twice a year in March and September. The spring event runs March 12-23, and the fall event runs September 15-29. All Insiders get 25-30% off sitewide (automatically applied) plus an extra 40% off already-reduced sale items.

Higher-tier members (Stars and Icons) get 30% off instead of 25%. These are some of the best sales all year, and they include new arrivals and full-priced items.

It's completely free to join. You earn 1 point for every dollar spent (double points on denim). When you reach 250 points, you get $10 off your next purchase. All Insiders get free shipping, free returns, birthday surprises, and early access to sales.

There are three tiers: Insider (free), Star ($500+ spent), and Icon ($1,000+ spent). Higher tiers get extra perks like free expedited shipping, triple point days, and exclusive gifts. It's definitely worth joining if you shop there regularly.

Black Friday starts five days before Thanksgiving and runs through Cyber Monday. The discount is typically 40% off almost everything sitewide with promo code MADEBETTER. Sale items get an extra 40% off their already-reduced prices, bringing total discounts to 60-70% off.

This is Madewell's biggest sale of the year, so it's the best time to stock up on favorites or buy gift items.

Yes, but only for Madewell Insiders. All three tiers (Insider, Star, and Icon) get free economy and standard shipping on every order. Non-members pay $5 for economy shipping or $7 for standard shipping.

Icon members also get free expedited shipping. Signing up for the free Insider program is the easiest way to get free shipping on all your orders.

You can return unworn, unwashed, and undamaged items within 30 days of purchase for a full refund or exchange. Online purchases can be returned in-store or by mail. Items bought online have a slightly longer return window than in-store purchases.

Yes! College students and teachers get 15% off their purchases year-round. You need to verify your status through SheerID (you might need to upload documentation like a school ID). The discount is valid for one calendar year and applies automatically at checkout once verified.

You can use it both online and in stores. Just show your valid school ID in-store, or sign in to your verified account online. This discount can't be combined with other promotions.

The absolute best times are during the Insiders Events in March and September when all jeans (including new styles) are 25-30% off. Black Friday is also great with 40% off sitewide. Madewell also runs special denim promotions throughout the year, like 20% off all full-priced jeans in August.

Sign up for the Insider program because members get exclusive denim deals and earn double points on all jean purchases.

Pretty regularly! There are two major Insiders Events per year (March and September), plus Black Friday/Cyber Monday in November, Memorial Day and Labor Day sales, and Fourth of July promotions. End-of-season clearance sales happen in January and late summer with discounts up to 70% off.

The best way is to sign up for Madewell's email list. You'll get exclusive promo codes sent directly to you for major sales and special promotions. Common codes include LONGWEEKEND (Memorial Day, Labor Day), MADEBETTER (Black Friday), SUMMERTIME (Fourth of July), and LASTCHANCE (end-of-season sales).

You can also check coupon websites like SimplyCodes or CouponFollow, but the best deals are always sent to email subscribers first. Madewell Insiders often get early access to sales before the general public.

Madewell's “Do Well” program lets you bring in any brand of denim (even non-Madewell jeans) to any Madewell store and trade them in. You'll get $20 off a new pair of Madewell jeans priced $75 or more.

The traded-in jeans are recycled or repurposed through Cotton's Blue Jeans Go Green program. It's a great way to save money while being environmentally friendly. You can only use one trade-in per transaction, and it can't be combined with other discounts.
