Outfit of the Week: Date Night
As we cross hump-day we start to think about the weekend, and for us the weekend includes date night! This outfit is perfect for a date night at this time of year because it's sexy and dressy, but warm and comfortable.
We're starting with The Pamela- Ivory Cheeky Brazilian underwear and layering over that a short black dress. We're topping that off with a cream and black thick Aztec print kimono. We're accessorizing with flat, black, over-the-knee Tory Burch boots and a black Rebecca Minkoff purse. To finish off the outfit, we've added a long pendant style necklace, gold bangles and gold and black earrings.
Outfit of the Week: Fall Fun
This week's outfit is something that could be worn to just about anything this time of the year, especially with a few tweaks and modifications to make it your own! Depending on where you work, it could be worn with a camisole underneath, it could be worn to meet with friends, to go out, for a casual date, for lunch or dinner, to the museum or just running errands!
We're starting with The Pamela- Black Cheeky Brazilian panties and The Hendricks- Classic Comfort Bamboo Bralette. Over that we are adding a black and creme geometric chiffon top and a pair of light gray skinny jeans. From here, it's up to you how you style it! If you're running errands you may want to pop on a pair of Vans black slip-ons or a pair of black riding style boots to meet with friends. If you're going out, you may want to put on a pair of black wedges and a black leather jacket! There are so many possibilities when you start with the right staples!

Outfit of the Week: Sunny Afternoon
While it is Fall, we still have the occasional warm afternoon, especially this year with it being so unseasonably warm! This outfit is perfect one of those sunny afternoons we're still experiencing. It can be worn to lunch, to the museum, shopping, to just about anything you want to do on your sunny afternoon and still look cute!
This outfit features two MADI items, The Hendricks- Classic Comfort Bamboo Bralette as well as the The Diana- Ivory Wide Lace Thong. These two staples are being paired with a black and white striped crop-top and a maxi length ivory skirt. An outfit like this would look perfectly paired with a pair of black lace-up espadrilles, and a small black leather cross-body bag. Lastly, just accessorize with your favorite everyday jewelry!

Outfit of the Week: Falling Into Cooler Weather
As we slowly enter cooler weather, it's time to bring back out your fall wardrobe. Our favorite things to bring out are our vests, long sleeves, sweaters, and booties! What about you? Well, this outfit is perfect for our transition with light layering on top and denim on the bottom.
We're starting with our Diana-Wide Lace Thong undies and layering over them a pair of ankle length skinny jeans. On top, we're wearing a black three quarter length sleeve top and an army green vest. We're accessorizing with a pair of black cut-out booties and a black leather backpack. We're finishing off the outfit with gold jewelry, including a pendant necklace, Alex & Ani bracelets and oval earrings.
Outfit of the Week: A Day at the Office
Ok, now we know it's not all fun and games, so this week, we're showing you an outfit perfect for the office! This outfit is a great transition into fall, and forget the "no white after Labor Day" rule! We're showing off a stylish office look with adorable accessories and comfortable flats.
We're starting with The Pamela-Cheeky Brazilian underwear in white, and layering over them a pair of black, skinny, ankle pants. On top, we're going with a fun, loose peplum-style cream colored top. We're accessorizing with a statement watch and bangle, a beaded necklace, geometric studs and chic black flats.
Bralettes, Bralettes Bralettes!
In case you haven't already heard, our bralettes hit the website and our storefront on Friday, and we were sold out online by Sunday! However, we are anticipating a re-stock of them later this month, and if you haven't already snagged one, you won't want to miss them! Just like our other products, for every bralette purchased, we will donate a pair of our underwear to a woman in need!
We released two bralette styles, The Hendricks- a classic comfortable bamboo bralette, and The Molly- a luxe lace bralette.
Here, is The Hendricks:
& here, is The Molly:
And a HUGE thank you to all of our supporters who helped us sell out of our first ever bralette launch in three days! Keep an eye out on our social media accounts and website for the restock!
Outfit of the Week: Saturday Picnic
As summer winds down and we move into fall, everyone is trying to get their last bit of sunshine and BBQ's in, including us! This outfit is perfect for a Saturday afternoon picnic with your friends or family! It's light, fun and very fashion forward and our Diana undies are perfect for this look!
We're starting with a pair of our lace underwear, The Diana- wide lace thong and putting on a black, ribbed, high-neck tank. Next, we're putting on a fun pair of denim, shorts overalls. We're accessorizing with a Rebecca Minkoff bag and Steve Madden lace up sandals. We're finishing the look off with sunglasses, a gemstone choker, a full stack of bracelets, gold earrings and a few gold rings.
Help Us Celebrate TWO Years! (& Bralettes!!)
Join us in celebrating two years of MADI Apparel with cocktails, live music and NEW BRALETTES!!!
Founder Hayley launched MADI late summer of 2014 after a family member revealed that she was once a victim of domestic violence and then learning that underwear tops the most urgent needs list at various organizations serving women globally. Since our launch date, we've been working hand in hand with YOU -- our amazing customers -- to fulfill our mission of donating underwear to women in need with every purchase. Thanks for helping us bring confidence, comfort and empowerment to over 3,000 women in 8 countries across the globe through underwear donations these past two years! "It's not just underwear, it's dignity."
We can't wait to see you!

Outfit of the Week: Week Night Out
This week we're shaking things up a bit with the way we're doing our outfit of the week posts! We're going to show you how we, here at MADI, actually style our undies in real life! This post is something we would wear for a week night date or a week night rendez-vous with the girls! It's simple yet bold and works perfectly with The Mimi-Modest Bikini underwear.
We're starting with our staple MADI undies in The Mimi- Modest Bikini style and layering over them an off the shoulder black dress. We're accessorizing with a pair of brown Steve Madden wedges and a black and gold Rebecca Minkoff purse! We're glaming it up with a bold gold statement necklace, gold bangles and some simple black and gold studs.
