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.
Keep cool in J.Crew's garçon top and gauze pants. Planning a weekend trip to the shore? Pack the brand's textured one-piece and carry their top-rated Montauk tote. For a day in the office, consider J.Crew's linen vest and wide-leg pants to be your new go-to workwear outfit.
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.
Wearing airy clothing is your best bet if you’re spending time by the shore. These relaxed beach pants, crafted from a soft cotton blend, will keep you nice and cool on blazing hot days.
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.
Infuse a sense of simplicity into your spring wardrobe with the Georgina Woven Sandals. There's no buckling, fastening, or lacing involved. These sandals are a great option if you’re on your feet all day (the padded footbed provides extra support).
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.
J.Crew’s wide-leg jeans boast an edgy '90s-era silhouette that will add a heightened sense of drama to any look.
Make no mistake—ballet flats aren't going anywhere, and now's a great time to grab a pair. These flats are adorned with a leather cap-toe detail that offers an irresistible two-tone style. The dainty bow also adds a charming touch.
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.
This vintage-inspired crossbody purse could be your new go-to accessory. With a croc-embossed exterior and bold hardware, the Edie bag puts an intriguing spin on your typical everyday black purse.
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 phrase wardrobe essential might be a tad overused, but it's the perfect descriptor for this black blazer. It’s a hero item to say the least.
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.
The thought of wearing constricting shorts in the heat makes anyone start sweating. Avoid discomfort with a cozy pair of linen shorts with a stretchy, smocked waist.
For those who absolutely must fit an entire life’s worth of essentials in one carryall, J.Crew’s Berkeley bucket bag is a must-have. It allows you to store your laptop, water bottle, wallet, and phone all in one place without having to stress about space.
J.Crew boasts an impressive list of best-sellers, and the Capitaine shirt dress is one of them. You can tie the removable belt at the waist or remove it for a fully relaxed fit.
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.
Peter Pan collars have made a whimsical return, and J.Crew has interpreted the trend with a cropped garçon shirt. Look closely, and you’ll also notice that the top is decorated with stunning pearl buttons that provide a subtle shimmer.
Black trousers are renowned for working overtime. They can be thrown into practically any outfit rotation. Invest in a pair now and wear them forever.
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.
During a breezy spring day, opt for a long-sleeve top that will keep you warm without causing you to overheat. J.Crew’s white button-up top has a sleek square neckline and is made with 100% linen, so it’s super breathable.
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.
