J.Crew Is Taking 50% Off Some of Its Most Classic Pieces
Over 400 items are included in the brand's "Wear Now" sale.
Now that the weather has begun to cool down, I've been reevaluating my wardrobe. In addition to donning longer pants like jeans and trousers, I've been opting for layered looks that incorporate cardigans, jackets, button-downs, and other picks that are easy to take on and off, or to button and un-button. This way, I know that as late summer and early fall weather fluctuates, I'll be prepared, no matter the temperature. And I'm in luck: Right now, J.Crew is taking 25 to 50 percent off hundreds of its wear-now styles, all of which rea perfect for this tricky time of year.
J.Crew's wear-now concept is centered around classic pieces that can be worn for most occasions, personal or professional. These clothes are meant to transcend seasons and trends, and they're constructed so that they hold up year after year. With around 450 styles on sale, it's hard to know which of these items are most worth the investment, so I pored over the sales section to bring you the brand's best styles before the sale ends on August 21.
This cardigan looks amazing no matter how it's styled—draped over your shoulders, worn loose over a tank top, or even tied around your waist. I love keeping pieces like this in my bag in case the temperature drops or in case the office AC gets a little overzealous.
I'm a big believer in throwing away the (elitist) fashion rules and wearing white after labor day proudly. This blazer is the perfect way to do so.
This shirtdress combines two of my favorite things: Mini dresses and button-down shirts. Its babydoll-style ruffled collar is offset by the piece's straight, no-nonsense hem and oversized silhouette, resulting in the perfect combination of masculine and feminine.
