J.Crew Just Put Hundreds of Spring Finds on Sale—24 Picks Worth Shopping
Score up to 40 percent off during J.Crew’s Annual Spring Event.
As someone trying to build a capsule wardrobe, I look for new staple pieces when a fresh season rolls around. I've been wearing only sweaters, coats, and boots for the last few months, but now, with spring officially here, it's time to reorient my style. I've got longevity on my mind, so I'm on the hunt for classic, quality pieces I can wear all season without breaking the bank. The first place I turn to is J.Crew's sale section.
After perusing J.Crew's 2024 spring collection, I knew the brand would be my go-to for my new-season wardrobe. The brand's new collection is full of pieces with that kind of wear-for-life energy, but I'm happy, possibly overjoyed, to report that J.Crew's Annual Spring Event has that same feeling. J.Crew is offering up to 40 percent off warm-weather styles right now, which means must-have spring pieces are currently on sale.
I'm talking about the best linen pants, spring jackets, and button-down shirts on the market, not to mention a ton of spring-ready accessories like beach bags and ballet flats. Nearly 700(!) items are included in the sale. To save you the trouble of searching for the best seasonal finds, Marie Claire found 24 wishlist pieces that will complete your closet for spring, but don't wait to hit purchase—these deals end March 21.

This outfit is one I plan on recreating as soon as the weather allows for it. Think of this sweater vest as the spring version of J.Crew's best-selling Emilie lady jacket—it's got all of the same chicness and layering abilities, just without the sleeves so you stay cool.
When it's 90-plus degrees out and the thought of getting dressed sounds miserable, linen pants like these are going to be your best friend. They're easy to dress up or down for whatever's on your agenda while breathable linen is going to keep you looking and feeling cool.
Warm-weather dressing doesn't get much easier than this mini dress. Designed to literally "pop over" your head, this number has a swingy fit and is made from breezy linen, so you're as comfortable as can be.
J.Crew's best-selling swim is a real winner among shoppers. One happy shopper writes, "This is probably my fifth purchase of this swimsuit. The fit is consistent every time, and it provides some tummy coverage while not looking too frumpy." Seeing as how this flattering suit comes in 13 shades, it's easy to see why you would want to stock up.
Some days I can only muster the energy to throw on jeans and a nice top. On those days, a top like this does all of the heavy lifting for me. A square neckline and subtly puffed sleeves make this top feel effortlessly chic. I'd pair it with dark wash jeans and ballet flats and call it a day.
Once the weather is consistently hot every day (it'll be here before you know it), I like to switch my basics over to linen versions, like this linen skirt. With its lightweight, breezy feel and comfortable elastic waistband, you're going to want to wear this skirt on a weekly basis.
Spring also brings along those random chilly days, so be prepared with a one of J.Crew's fan-favorite Emilie lady jackets. It feels perfectly polished with gold-toned buttons and contrast trim. Wear it now whenever you need an extra layer, then wear it all throughout the fall.
Don't know what to wear in the morning? Throw this black dress on with a linen blazer and slide sandals and you're good to go. Sure, it may be simple in design, but it really allows you to mix and match accessories to your heart's content.
These best-selling shoes are some of the best loafers around and now's your chance to try them out for nearly $100 off. We love them for their '90s-inspired chunky sole and luxe croc-embossed finish. Meanwhile, reviewers note they are especially comfy, making this pair a real winner.
Sorry not sorry, but I am once again writing about stripes for spring. Striped clothing is going to be even more prominent in the upcoming months and simple tops like this will make you look forward. The neckline is a welcome change from crewnecks, too.
There's something about black and white that screams "old money" to me. Even though this is a simple ribbed tank, it still has an elevated feel. Pair this with the linen pants above, a belt, and some kitten heels and you've got a luxurious office-friendly look.
Say hello to one of spring 2024's biggest shoe trends: the slingback. While the silhouette isn't new, slingback heels have made a major comeback in street style. In case you prefer more sensible heels (as I do), this J.Crew pair can serve as your new day-to-night pair.
While button-down shirts aren't anything new, a few details make this shirt stand out. Firstly, it's in a major trending color for spring, and it has just the right fit in between slim and oversized. It's also got French-inspired cuffs, which add an extra touch of chicness.
Denim shorts are a quintessential spring and summer item, so you'll be able to keep these in your closet for a long time if you buy them on sale. They feature an easy high rise and are made from a comfy, slightly stretchy cotton blend so you can wear these all day long without a sweat.
Yes, the ballet flat renaissance is still going strong and I'm not mad about it. Not only are they comfy, but they add a feminine flair that pairs perfectly with spring dresses and skirts. This pale pink works as a pretty neutral, but there's classic black available, too.
For spring 2024, I'm all about embracing the baggier, wider-leg denim styles we've been seeing the last few seasons. This pair is inspired by men's jeans from the '80s, so think rigid denim, a slouchy leg, and a mid-rise.
A breezy button-down is just what you need on those days it's hot as hell and you don't know what to wear. Pair it with trousers, or jeans, or make it a set with the matching skirt and you'll still look put together while staying cool.
Don't make the mistake of heading to the beach without a great beach bag. This best-selling woven bag is roomy enough for all of your vacay essentials, not to mention it's stylish as can be. Rest assured a woven tote like this will never get old.
Wearing the same type of jeans day in and day out can get boring, so for spring, I encourage you to try out a white pair. They're just as easy to style as your favorite jeans but feel more appropriate for the sunny weather.
You really can't get through spring without a trusty jean jacket. This particular style is a nod to vintage styles with an oversized fit and lived-in feel. It's a hero piece that pairs well with quite literally everything so you'll get plenty of wear out of it.
This find pulls double duty as a swimsuit cover-up and stylish summer shorts. Dress them up with a button-down and sandals for a summer look or dress them down with your bikini for the beach. Either way, they're an easy-going piece to keep in your closet for warm-weather days.
I personally believe you can never have too many summer dresses like this in your closet. When you're in need of a put-together look that's low lift, throw this dress on with some hoop earrings and strappy sandals and call it a day.
If boss energy could be made into something tangible, it would be these shoes. With classy ankle straps, a sensible kitten heel, and a luxe croc finish, these heels feel both on trend and classic.
