I'm Curating My Spring Outfits—Here's What I'm Buying From the J.Crew Sale
From crisp white button-downs to breezy linen dresses.


I’ve been daydreaming about chic and breezy outfits to wear all spring. A few styles remain top of mind; crisp white button-downs tucked into tailored trousers, soft linen dresses paired with charming ballet flats, and sharp vests styled with relaxed denim. Luckily, my fashion fantasies don’t have to live rent-free in my head, thanks to J.Crew’s Annual Spring Event.

Whether you're a regular or love to drop in for some seasonal shopping, you’ll be happy to know that sale items are up to 50% off, with countless pieces for any springtime occasion you can imagine.

The options are endless, with hundreds of sale items available. Marie Claire has sorted through the entire online sale selection and curated a list of 25 items that will fit perfectly in your spring outfit rotation, no matter what occasion lies ahead.

You can’t go wrong with a multi-purpose white button-down. Dress it up with a satin slip skirt for your office days, or dress it down with straight-leg jeans for a casual day of running errands. Either way, you’ll be living in this piece all spring long.
Your vacation packing list isn’t complete without a versatile black one-piece. Wear it on its own while you go for a swim, and afterward, slip on a pair of lightweight linen pants and neutral-toned sandals for poolside lounging.
Canvas totes are essential to any spring accessory collection because they're extremely practical. With a roomy interior, you'll have ample space for all your belongings—whether you're carrying your essentials to the beach or toting around your necessities at your local farmer's market.
Nothing says nautical like navy blue and white stripes. This pattern is inherently linked to spring dressing, and a timeless sweater jacket will carry you through the entire season. To create a laid-back outfit, slip on a pair of wide-leg jeans and ballet flats to match.
A tank top with a twist just entered the chat. Say hello to this sophisticated top created with a streamlined fit and a mockneck style. Tuck this shirt into a pleated skirt to really amp up the elegant vibe.
Glacial blue is taking over this season’s color trend cycle and for good reasons. Its gorgeous pastel hue fits perfectly within a traditional springtime color palette. Wear this shade in the form of a classy pleated skirt.
Look no further if you’re searching for a dress to slip on once and wear all day. This black linen number can easily transition from the beach to a nighttime event by elevating your look with a pair of strappy sandals and a stylish leather handbag.
A pair of heels that you can spend all day walking in is a rare find, but consider yourself lucky because J. Crew’s double-strap heels were crafted with comfort in mind. Take note of the wide straps that offer ample support and the block heel that evenly distributes pressure on the foot.
Finding office-appropriate clothing to wear during the summertime can be a bit of a hassle, but a linen vest will make dressing for work a bit easier. You’ll stay nice and cool while adhering to your office dress code. And if temperatures drop, you can easily throw on a blazer.
The beauty of a neutral-toned sweater is that there are endless styling options. If you err on the preppy side, wrap J.Crew’s cardigan over your shoulders. Or fasten the first few buttons, and leave the rest of your cardigan open for an evening vibe. Style this one with linen pants on a warm day.
Denim jackets rank high on the list of quintessential spring outerwear because they’re a durable staple that's stood the test of time. Go full-on Canadian tuxedo mode and wear yours with a pair of matching jeans.
Your spring wardrobe isn't complete without a trench coat. A trusty trench is sturdy enough to handle spring’s spontaneous mix of sunshine and showers, and it can be worn through a range of occasions—from casual daytime outings to dressy dinner dates.
If it’s too warm to wear jeans, but you still want to embrace a denim look, consider a midi skirt with a hemline that hits below the knees. Since this skirt has a high-rise waistline, you’ll want to pair it with a cropped top to balance the proportions of your outfit.
