High-quality, well-constructed basics are one of the most important areas to invest in when building a versatile travel wardrobe — especially one that’s easy to pack. As a shopping writer, I’ve made no secret of my adoration for Madewell’s timeless and wearable apparel, so I was thrilled to find that the retailer is currently hosting a special event with everything in the sale section earning an additional 40-percent discount with the code “LONGWEEKEND.”

Whether you’ve been considering a new purse to take with you on your travels, or are ready to trade in your old pair of jeans for a newer silhouette, Madewell’s latest sale allows you to check off every box on your shopping list with prices starting at just $18. After scanning the site for my own travel wardrobe needs (I can finally fulfill my dream of owning a trench coat!), I’ve selected the 35 deals worth shopping during this unbeatable sale, including trendy outerwear sitting as low as $72. Just don’t wait too long to shop since the sale is only valid through October 15.

From dreamy denim to stunning tote bags, Madewell’s sale section is practically bursting at the seams with travel essentials for fall and beyond. Right now, I’m eyeing the best-selling April Ballet Flat Mules — a gorgeous twist on the traditional ballet flat that’s double discounted to just $54. Also making it into my cart is the $42 Bouclé Knit V-neck Cardigan, which I’m sure I’ll be packing for all of my upcoming travel plans this season. Plus, how could I resist the Piazza Mini Crossbody Bag? It will hardly take up any extra space in my suitcase, and it’s just $48.
