J.Crew Labor Day Sale 2025: 40% Off New Arrivals with Code WEEKEND

J.Crew is kicking off fall in the best way possible—40% off new arrivals with code WEEKEND. The timing couldn’t be better since we just shared a J.Crew wardrobe capsule featuring some of their most classic fall pieces. If you’ve had your eye on those staples, now’s the time to grab them before they sell out.

What to Buy

Full-Length Slim-Wide Jean
A top-rated denim style that works on every body type. The slim-wide cut gives you that polished, leg-lengthening look without feeling too baggy or too skinny. Available in versatile washes, these jeans pair effortlessly with blazers, sneakers, or boots—exactly the kind of denim you’ll wear on repeat all season.

Essential Cutaway Vest Top in Textured Satin
The vest trend isn’t going anywhere, and this one is a best-seller for good reason. The textured satin adds a luxe finish, while the cutaway silhouette makes it flattering layered under a blazer or styled solo with jeans. It’s versatile, chic, and rarely goes on sale.

Madelyn Blazer in Four-Season Stretch
If you need to update your blazer, this is the one to buy. J.Crew’s Madelyn blazer is a year-round staple—sharp enough for the office yet easy to throw over jeans and a tee. The four-season stretch fabric makes it comfortable and wearable no matter the weather, and 40% off makes it an investment worth jumping on.

J.Crew Factory Labor Day Sale 2025: Cute & Affordable Finds

If you love the J.Crew look but want something easier on the budget, J.Crew Factory’s Labor Day Sale is full of chic, affordable staples. Same polished style, just a little more casual and at a friendlier price point. I like to treat J.Crew Factory as a supplement—think polished sweatshirts, cotton sweaters, and a few fun accessories that mix seamlessly with what you already own.

What to Buy

A longtime reader favorite. The drapey fabric feels effortless yet tailored, and the trouser cut works for both office and weekend. Under $60 (plus an extra 25% off $150 with code SOGOOD) makes these a no-brainer.

Cable Crewneck Sweater
100% cotton, under $60, and endlessly wearable. The classic cable knit adds texture, layers easily, and comes in timeless colors you’ll pull for all season.

Banana Republic Labor Day Sale 2025: Luxe Finds Worth It on Sale

Banana Republic always delivers beautiful, timeless pieces with a modern twist—but at full price, they’re often overpriced, which makes their sales worth scoping out. This year’s Labor Day selection is a mix of end-of-summer finds and year-round basics, so you can snag seasonal deals alongside staples you’ll wear straight into fall. Same elevated fabrics, tailoring, and luxe details—just at a much better value.

What to Buy

100% Cashmere Crewneck Sweater
A true cashmere steal. Lightweight, perfect for layering, and best sized up for an easy, relaxed fit. A luxe basic you’ll wear for years, think of this more like a tee shirt than a sweater.

Ribbed Cutaway Tank
I own this in both black and white, and it’s a fantastic warm-weather staple. Flattering cut, layers easily, and at $30, it’s the perfect stock-up piece. Looks great with your favorite jeans and simple sandals.

Oversized Denim Shirt
A versatile layer for every season—button it up with trousers, wear open over a tank, or layer under a sweater. Relaxed, modern, and worth snagging on sale.
