10 Timeless Picks From the Editors' Choice Madewell Sale

You can't always tell much by a store's name. Asos, for example, no longer means "as seen on screen," and Nasty Gal's wares are less yucky than glamorous and cool. But then there's Madewell, which is pretty straightforward — it sells timeless pieces intended to last for years.

As if that wasn't reason enough to get your shop on, it's cutting an extra 40% off sale items via coupon code "EXTRA40", and all orders bag free shipping until July 25. That's the best offer we've seen from Madewell, so we've picked 10 items that will last you several seasons.

The Specialty

The Playsuit

Madewell Women's Tie-Strap Romper for $26.99 via coupon code "EXTRA40" ($71 off)

Rompers may seem like more of a current trend than a piece you can wear forever, but didn't you have some when you were 5? Isn't that the definition of enduring style, the ability to transition from childhood to adulthood?

The Platforms

Madewell Women's Jo Sandals for $74.99 via coupon code "EXTRA40" ($83 off)

The Ear Candy

Since time immemorial, silver and gold have taken turns cycling out of fashion. This set of 5 earrings has both, and you're free to wear them as matched sets or to mix it up. Or if you have multiple ear piercings, just use them all without worrying about how well they coordinate.

These sunnies will be cool until the sun burns out, and then you won't have to worry about protecting your eyes any more. Or anything else, ever again.
