Spring dressing is tricky — especially when the weather forecast changes by the hour. As a New Yorker, I’m constantly navigating confusing mid-April forecasts. I’m sweating in the sun one moment, then shivering in the shade the next. I try to prioritize pieces that are easy to layer, pack, and rewear in different ways, whether I’m navigating unpredictable city weather or packing for a weekend getaway. That’s why I always keep an eye on Madewell, a brand that nails lightweight layers and versatile staples, all made for travel.

We’re talking spring dresses, wide-leg pants, and travel-friendly accessories to take you from plane to dinner reservation with zero effort.

There’s nothing worse than packing stiff jeans or uncomfortable pants when you’re heading out of town — or sitting at your desk all day, for that matter. Luckily, Madewell marked down some of their comfiest bottoms, from slouchy trousers to easy-wearing skirts that can be styled up or down. I found pieces like the Drapey Twill Slouchy Straight Pants — currently an unbelievable 83 percent off — that would look just as good with sneakers on a travel day as they would with loafers at the office. If you’re more interested in skirts this time of year, the feminine and breezy Poplin Midi Skirt is also a standout, and it’s now $48 off. Just add a tank and cardigan to any of these for a full outfit, or pair with a blazer to elevate the look.
