If you take only one piece of shopping advice from me, let it be this: Don’t buy J.Crew at full price. This isn’t a jab at the brand’s quality — of which I have only positive things to say — but because, every week or two, J.Crew seems to launch a new sale. Whether it’s discounting just-launched apparel or putting its sale items on another sale, the brand’s consistency extends beyond its ability to create timeless staples.

And in keeping with my theory, the brand just launched one of summer’s biggest sales with up to percent off already discounted styles using the code SHOPSALE. Right now, you can shop J.Crew’s End of Season sale, where more than a thousand items are double discounted. And to help you navigate the blowout sale, we found the 10 must-have summer items with prices starting at just $20.

Gwyneth V-Neck Slip Dress

$128

$41

The Gwyneth Slip is a J.Crew staple and right now, the shade Brilliant Papaya it’s just $41. This ‘90s-inspired slip dress features a soft V-shape neckline and hits a little below the knee, making it one of the easiest and chicest things to wear this summer. And according to shoppers, “it doesn't cling” to the body, instead skimming “curves in all the right places,” with one person writing, “I love this dress! I have an hourglass figure and it accentuates it.”

Bow One-Shoulder One-Piece Swimsuit

$28

Here’s another one of my shopping hacks: I don’t buy bathing suits until July because that’s when they go on sale. And right now, a number of J.Crew’s shopper-favorite suits are majorly marked down, including this one-shoulder one-piece customers have called “well-fitting and flattering.” It features an oversized bow at the shoulder that can be adjusted depending on the level of support you need, with shoppers calling the detail “adorable,” “fun,” and “so feminine.”

Lucie Slingback Block-Heel Sandal

$228

$72

Metallic shoes have been the ‘It’ style this year, worn by everyone from Anne Hathaway and Katie Holmes to Amal Clooney and Martha Stewart. So if you’re wanting to try the trending look for less, consider the Lucie Slingback Block-Heel in gold, which is more than $100-off. Despite the 3-inch heel, shoppers note that these are surprisingly pain-free. “They are very comfortable and have nice padding on the footbed,” wrote one person. Another customer said that they wore them to a wedding where the shoes were “comfortable for seven hours.”
