If you're not already following Olympia Gayot on Instagram, you'll want to make sure you do. As the creative director of J.Crew, Gayot is not only responsible for the latest preppy, classic, and trendy pieces at the retailer, but she's also at the helm of the creative direction. On her own Instagram, she's often sharing selfies wearing the brand, styling denim and workwear in ways that feel refreshing yet timeless.
Re-creating Gayot's signature look is possible. Even better, it can be done on a budget. J.Crew is stocked with so many pieces under $100 that make it easy to embrace the brand's signature style. You can scoop up basics like a colorful sweater or a pair of baggy jeans if you've found your everyday wardrobe is lacking. But it's J.Crew's accessories that make the biggest impact. A metallic headband or a pair of feathered gloves can transform your look from casual to fanciful without much more than a two-second effort.
