My post-holiday recovery plan includes eating lots of leftover holiday cookies, keeping a close eye on my winter skin care regimen (trying to counteract sugar), and, of course, a little retail therapy. I’ve noticed that post-Christmas sales lack the glitz and atmosphere they deserve. Black Friday deals may be plentiful, but some of the year-end discounts can be surprisingly expensive.
Exhibit A: Madewell’s end-of-season sale. The brand is offering up to 60% off on over 1,500 styles when you use the code LASTCHANCE at checkout, and you can get double the discount when applied to items already on sale. I’ve done the research for you and whether you want to refresh your in-office attire with a pair of versatile loafers, need a dressy pea coat on the deck, or not, complete your cold-weather wardrobe We’ve compiled the top 10 deals to help you get started. A warm alpaca wool sweater will do the trick.

Ribbed alpaca-blend crewneck sweater
This hassle-free, everyday crewneck sweater is made from insulating alpaca wool to keep you warm without feeling stuffy. Featuring a cozy ribbed texture, dropped shoulders and side slits, it creates a laid-back, comfortable feel. One shopper said: “It’s super soft and comfy and can be dressed up or down,” adding: “It’s true to size and has a relaxed fit.” Some people were surprised at how light and easy the all-season sweater is, which can be layered in the winter and worn alone in the spring.
Faux shearling zip-front bomber jacket
We would like to offer you an express order for this faux shearling bomber jacket at 63% off. It’s fluffy without being too puffy (and pairs great with a marshmallow-like down jacket), and has an oversized hood, side pockets, and ribbed hem for added comfort. I snuggle up to this number in baggy jeans to run errands, over my workout clothes after Pilates, and in my best sweats on the couch.
super wide leg trousers jeans
These super wide-leg trouser jeans prove that denim can look classy. The ’90s-inspired silhouette is made from zero-stretch recycled cotton and features a high-rise fit, wide leg, and elongated pin-tuck line. It pairs perfectly with pointed-toe boots and platform stompers, and its bold contours balance it out with slim-fit tops and tucked-in sweaters.
Oversized collar short pea coat
It’s never too early to plan your Valentine’s Day outfit (and book a table at a fancy restaurant). Whether you have a special event on your 2025 calendar or you’re missing a dressy winter coat in your closet, Madewell’s oversized collar short pea coat is super chic and feminine. And now it’s over $180 off. Crafted from luxurious Italian wool, it’s finished with a doll-like notched collar, welt pockets and a slightly cropped hem.
long sleeve seam mini dress
If you’re looking for a textured alternative to a cozy sweater dress, consider our best-selling corduroy stunner, which is sure to sell out. It has the same sophistication and versatility as a shirt dress, with a point collar, figure-flattering seams and loose long sleeves, all made from velvety soft cotton fabric. One shopper said: “This dress is so warm and comfortable.” “You can dress it up for work or wear it on the weekend,” she added, adding that corduroy “doesn’t feel constricting” and “grows with movement.”
