What to Buy at J. Crew

J.Crew’s fall collection is a big win, bringing back the best of ’90s fashion with a focus on classic, streamlined pieces that prioritize quality over quantity. These styles are perfect for building a timeless wardrobe foundation.

Today, I’m excited to share my top 10 picks from their latest arrivals. Each item is effortlessly stylish, timeless, well-priced for the quality, and available in a wide range of sizes

What to Buy at J.Crew

Mid-Rise Bootcut Pant in Faux Leather

You’ll see several versions of these faux leather pants for the next few weeks, all fantastic options, in a range of sizes. I want to give you options depending on your needs.

If you’re still looking for a faux leather pair of pants to bring into your wardrobe this fall, and need petite or tall sizes, consider these Mid-Rise Bootcut Pants for $158, in black and an INCREDIBLE shade of brown.

Denim Trouser in Chambray Blue Wash

If you’re on the hunt for a fresh denim silhouette, these light chambray-washed denim trousers are a great option.

Just remember, pairing them with a heel is key to achieving the perfect drape and elongating the leg.

For a darker wash option, I also like this pair.

Western Shirt in Plaid Cotton Voile

I’m loving the color combination of this cotton voile shirt. While they’re calling it “western,” it doesn’t actually feature any typical western details. Instead, it’s soft, beautifully shaped, and pairs effortlessly with any style of jeans.

I’m also a fan of the “faded red” option—it’s just as versatile and stylish!

New Relaxed Emilie Sweater Lady Jacket

J.Crew’s lady jackets are always a best seller. This updated version has a slightly looser fit. You can wear it open over a cami or tank or button completely and wear as a top.

I like the navy and white stripe, but it’s also available in camel and black, on sale for $99.

I’ll style this in an upcoming post 🙂

IIf you live in a warmer climate year-round, this lace-trim shirt is a lovely choice for date nights or the upcoming holiday season. It pairs beautifully with your favorite jeans, faux leather trousers, or skirts.

Also available in white on sale for 30% off.

New Stevie Knee-High Pull-On Boots

The Stevie Knee-High Pull-On Boots are STUNNING! Absolutely gorgeous.

I have them in black leather from last year and am going to order the brown leather, on sale for under $300.

And if you need an ankle boot, they have a short version here.

Asymmetrical Off-the-Shoulder Top in Stretch Cotton Blend

I’m showing their Asymmetrical Off-the-Shoulder Top in white so you can see it on the model and it’s pretty, and versatile.
But it’s show stopper in brown, and on sale for $49.50.

Elena Puff-Sleeve Dress

I’m usually not a fan of head-to-toe leopard, but I’m all in with this dress. The puff sleeves add structure to your shoulders without feeling too cutesy, and the defined waist perfectly highlights your shape.

Style it with strappy sandals or the knee-high boots mentioned above for a chic look.

Cashmere Classic-Fit Crewneck Sweater

J.Crew makes a lovely cashmere and their classic-fit crewneck sweater is available in 14 colors in XXXS – 3X.

I picked up a few to wear with slim straight jeans as a fall uniform option.

Pencil Midi Skirt in Four-Season Stretch

Lastly, while I’m typically not a huge fan of denim midi skirts, I really like this one in their four-season stretch fabric.

The front slit adds a flattering touch, preventing that weighed-down feeling and ensuring it doesn’t cut you off at an awkward length.

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.

We'll see this style A LOT this season, so stay tuned for a cotton option to pop up ;)

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.
