What to Buy at J. Crew

J.Crew is currently offering 40% off regular priced items and 50% off sale, so I was excited to dive in and share all the finds.

They are promoting this as 40% off “almost everything.”

It’s more like, 40% off a handful of retail items.

So this took a lot longer to pull together than I originally thought.

I did the work so you don’t have to, narrowing 1400 items narrowed down to 8 great finds.

I have such a weird job.

But let’s go shopping. 😉

What to Buy at J.Crew with 40% OFF

Today’s round up is very seasonally specific including some lovely lightweight tops, a linen dress you can style up or down, shorts, fresh white jeans and more.

Most of these are available in a wide range of sizes and colors so don’t let the neutral featured pictures throw you.

V-neck Soft Gauze Popover

Starting off strong with our best selling top from last year, this V-neck soft gauze popover is what you wear when you want something better than a tee shirt.

We love the v-neck detail, lightweight fabric and color options.

Available in six colors in XXS – 3X for under $50 with discount.

I found this ran a little full so size down if in between.

$79.00

Not on sale but worth mentioning, this simple dress is done in the same gauze fabric and has a v-neckline. I like it as an alternative to a cotton tee shirt dress. If feels more polished and would look cute with these reader favorite sandals.

Smocked Puff-Sleeve Top in Eyelet

Next, a pretty eyelet top to wear with your favorite jeans.

We talked earlier this year about how eyelet is trending this spring, so scooping up a top like this when it’s on sale is an easy way to freshen up your look without breaking the bank.

We’re featuring it in black, but you can get it in white, pink or green, in sizes XS – 3X.

With the 40% off it comes to about $70.

Spring Garden Top in Eyelet

For a similar look with an open neckline, you might like this collared short sleeve top.

Available in white (above), pink or green, in XXS – 3X for $64.50.

The white my personal pick as it looks like a real statement piece.

You can pair it with jeans, slim trousers or even a skirt.

Vintage Rib Puff-Sleeve Top

This top won’t be for everyone.

I know because I see your emails. 😉

But I also see the emails telling me they love the extra bit of feminine details and a sleeve that helps build out their narrow shoulders.

So I’m just trying to make everyone happy.

The neckline on this is lovely and open, which many of us need if we do a full sleeve.

Available in navy (above) and ivory, but I don’t recommend the ivory as it looks dingy.

On sale after discount for $34.

Long Beach Shirt in Linen-Cotton Blend

Lots of requests have come in recently for longer bathing suit cover ups, so I was really thrilled to find this one for 50% off.

I love that you can style this with some jewelry and a fun flat sandal, add a straw bag, maybe a big hat and you’ll be the chicest woman on the beach.

Available in white (above), chambray and flax in XXS – 3X, on sale for $59.

Slim Demi-Boot Jean in White Wash

I have been looking for a full length jean with a little bootcut for a while, so I scooped these up. (On sale for $88.)

“Demi” just means it’s a smaller bootcut, almost cut like a trouser. It’s flattering if shape for every body type.

Available in classic, petite and tall in sizes 23 – 37. I bought the tall size to get the right amount of length.

7″ Stretch Chino Short

A 7″ short is hard to find but J.Crew makes a great one that has clean lines and perfect stretch.

Available in a fun and bright range of colors that also includes neutrals, starting at 000 – 24.

On sale right now for $36.50 – priced as marked.

Relaxed-Fit Short-Sleeve Baird McNutt Irish Linen Shirtdress

Finally, I adore this relaxed linen shirt dress.

It’s a polished alternative to a tee shirt and shorts but just as easy to run around all day in.

Wear with sneakers for a day of errands or go to a summer dinner with a pair of sandals.

Available in five colors, in classic, petite or tall in XXS – 3X on sale for $88.

Thanks for all you do! Is the smocked eyelet puff sleeve top true to size? can't tell if it's boxy or fitted, especially through the bust?

J Crew is missing a very LARGE MARKET by not making Petite XL!!! Lots of short-waisted women under 5'4" have larger busts needing accommodations! Thanks for this EXCELLENT round-up, Megan!

Oh I just love the look of the collared sweater but I wish it was all cotton.

Hi Megan, I purchased the cashmere wrap this Christmas. I’ve always washed my cashmere ( cold water and lay flat to dry) from J.Crew and other companies, so I didn’t think twice about washing this wrap. It shrunk by 50% and no amount of stretching has brought it back to its original size. If anyone purchases, be sure to dry clean to keep the original shape. I’ve decided that Naadam is better for cashmere than J.Crew. I feel their quality has declined over the past 5-7 years and I’ve been a J.Crew fan since the late 80’s.

@ Megan, I'm looking for one basic black blazer to add to my wardrobe. Of all the ones you have recommended which would be your top choice? I tried the Madewell and not a fan of the double breasted for my shape.
