1. J.Crew Tropez Short
Now, this is an effortless look for literally any occasion. The fact that these shorts are made of linen makes them even more fabulous (and breezy). What I love the most, aside from the chic style? The convenient pockets that you can use to store your smaller essentials. A great buy for a great price.
2. J.Crew Raffia Bucket Hat
Bucket hats are having a moment right now because they look great and help protect you from the sun's rays. I'm loving this straw number that will go with those summer vacation swimsuits and sundresses you already have packed. One reviewer notes, "I searched the internet and the mall for just the right woven bucket hat that had a flat crown and a medium wide brim. This was perfect! The proportions are chic and flattering….I'm 5’2” and bought a S-M." In other words, scoop this up quickly before it's too late.
3. J.Crew Classic Straight Jean
One of J.Crew's best-selling jeans is just the classic style you'll want to wear on repeat. But best of all, they're available in five washes, and come in classic, petite and tall sizes. What's more, they're also beloved by buyers for their versatility and comfort, one of whom raves, "These jeans "These jeans are longer than the same blue ones I ordered, but I’m not mad about it. Super cute, straight leg on-trend jeans. These will get a lot of wear this spring/summer. Get yourself a pair if you prefer your jeans high-waisted!"
4. J.Crew Sleek Ruched One-Shoulder Swimsuit
Still haven't found your swimsuit for the season? You can't go wrong with this one. It offers full coverage all around and still manages to be incredibly sexy thanks to its flattering deep ruched one-shoulder design. If you're looking for something a little more on the colorful side, there are several other shades to choose from.
5. J.Crew Pleated Button-Front Pant
These trousers can easily go from day to night with a change of tops and accessories. Plus, they won't cause you to overheat since they're made of lightweight cotton. As one shopper says, "The material has a nice weight—substantial, but light enough for summer—though too heavy for very hot weather. The fit is extremely flattering. The pants do have a slightly nautical look to them because of the front buttons but not enough to make you feel like a deckhand. I wore them all day and the creasing was very acceptable. Very classy!" With the sale slashing off 40 percent, you definitely won't want to miss out on these.
$98; $58 at J. Crew
6. J.Crew Caspia Dress
This dress is a must-have for two specific reasons: its slightly oversize and flowy construction and those thin (and adjustable) straps. Whether you style it with comfortable sandals (I'm personally thinking Birkenstocks) or platforms, you'll feel like a million bucks.
7. J.Crew Cadiz Hand-Knotted Rope Tote
This summer-friendly tote is sure to make a statement when you wear it to day parties or afternoon luncheons. Pair it with an eye-catching jumper or a sleek dress if you want to elevate your outfit. One shopper raves, "Fun colors. Fun bag. Can’t wait to use it. I love how the strap is the perfect length to tuck neatly and comfortably underneath my arm." This tote is also quite spacious according to reviewers, so you'll have an ample amount of room to work with.
8. J.Crew Tie-Waist Halter Dress
I learned a long time ago that whenever J.Crew marks down essentials like this breezy tie-waist halter dress, you have to grab it as fast as you can. This versatile number comes crafted in an A-line silhouette that will accentuate your shoulders while also defining your waistline and flattering your hips. Plus, you can wear it with pretty much any shoe in your closet.
9. J.Crew Emilie Sweater-Vest
I can already think of three occasions you'll want to wear this sweater vest to: the Fourth of July cookout you were invited to, Sunday brunch with your friends and your upcoming vacay. Worried about it potentially being to hot for the summer? Don't sweat (bad pun intended): This vest is made with a lightweight cotton that both promotes airflow and doesn't stick to your skin. Just take it from this buyer who says, "I've been loving: "I've been loving wearing this sweater for spring. It's nice and lightweight, the material is great and it hasn't stretched or warped. It's been a great addition to my wardrobe!"
From $98; $48 at J. Crew
10. J.Crew Linen Maxine Button-Back Dress
I've found it—the summer dress that will rake in the most compliments. On top of it being lightweight, it's also super versatile. Wear it on its own, underneath a light sweater or oversize blazer when temps drop or even as a bikini cover-up at the beach. An automatic winner.
