For the past few weeks, I've been editing my closet as I'm looking to hone in on a simple yet sophisticated capsule wardrobe for spring and summer, including more tailored pieces, refined fabrics, and elevated accessories.
With temperatures steadily on the rise and summer just around the corner, I’ve turned to J.Crew to fill in those gaps. I'm taking advantage of their major sale, which offers timeless summer wardrobe essentials. From now until Monday, April 29, you can save up to 30 percent off your purchases, plus an extra 30 to 60 percent off all sale styles with the code “SHOPNOW.” J.Crew quintessential summer linen styles are 50 percent off.
I've gone through the entire sale section with a discerning eye to curate a fashion-editor-approved selection of 18 pieces that will refresh your wardrobe—from versatile Breton striped tops to linen vests to tailored trousers.
Is your warm-weather wardrobe truly complete without a pair of airy linen pants? Made of super-breathable fabric, J.Crew's Soleil bottoms will keep you nice and cool on boiling hot days.
If you want to liven up a simple outfit with prints, try this blue-and-white striped shirt from J.Crew's collection. Pair this top with white shorts and boat shoes to amplify the nautical vibe.
Expect to wear J.Crew's Capitaine top on repeat this season. Thanks to its neutral hue, you can team it with practically any pair of bottoms. Dress it up with a silky slip skirt or down with a pair of baggy jeans.
Although plenty of balmy days lie ahead, we'll inevitably experience a few temperature dips here and there. For these moments, you'll want to wrap a lightweight cardigan around your shoulders.
Ballet flats have ruled the footwear scene for quite some time now; by the looks of it, they're not going anywhere. You might already own a pair, but it never hurts to have two! J.Crew's Zoe flats are crafted with supple leather and a flexible sole, so you'll want to walk around in these dainty shoes all day.
Styling a look for the office on a scorching summer day can be challenging, especially when wearing less isn't an option. That said, you can always count on a linen vest to save the day—it will allow ample airflow while maintaining a tailored (and professional) appeal.
Compliment your linen vest with a coordinating pair of chic pants. These top-rated J.Crew trousers feature a wide-leg silhouette that guarantees comfort.
On days when you don't have the energy to put a lot of effort into your look but still want to exude sophistication, slip into J. Crew's Capitaine shirtdress. The collared neckline and belted waist add built-in polish.
Let this spirited shade of bubblegum pink instantly brighten your spring and summer wardrobe. To balance your outfit's color palette, pair this button-down with neutral-toned trousers—cream, white, or beige are great options.
Cuff bracelets are making a major comeback in the accessories realm. If you're not afraid to go bold, take part in this trend with J.Crew's shimmering dome-shaped bracelet.
Breathe new life into your collection of tank tops with this easy striped number. It showcases a refreshingly elevated mock neck design.
With rising temperatures, there's no doubt you'll be spending plenty of time outdoors. Whether embarking on a seaside getaway or a trip to the park, shield your face from the sun with this wide-brim raffia bucket hat.
J.Crew's Chino shorts have been around for a while, but their latest version includes new design features like a high-rise silhouette and extra stretchy fabric. Tuck a polo shirt into these shorts to put a preppy spin on your look.
It's always wise to invest in a jacket with subtle hints of hardware, like J.Crew's Emilie jacket, adorned with charming gold buttons to enhance any outfit.
This slip dress is crafted from breathable charmeuse fabric. It's a 90s-inspired design you'll grab for practically every upscale occasion. Plenty of styling options exist, but you can't go wrong with heeled sandals and a timeless handbag.
If you're building your vacation wardrobe, don't forget to add J.Crew's beach shirt to your shopping list. This trusty cover-up is simple by nature, seamlessly fitting into your vacay outfit rotation.
Are you heading to drinks or dinner after a day of basking in the sun? Consider carrying a bag that seamlessly transitions from one occasion to the next. J.Crew's Como straw tote is embellished with luxe leather straps, making it versatile for moments beyond the beach.
