I Thought Long and Hard: These Are the 13 Best Items on J.Crew Right Now

I needed to talk to someone about some shopping finds that are on my radar, and when that’s the case, it's my duty to write a story about it. Specifically, I need to talk about J.Crew. We cover J.Crew quite a lot here at Who What Wear these days because it’s excellent and worthy of discussion, but I wanted to do a story about a few very special items that are part of its inventory right now.

So, instead of the usual 30 or so items of note at J.Crew right now, I’m here to talk about just 13. Why? Because I want to focus the attention, sans distractions, on a handful of items that are all equally stylish, versatile, compliment-worthy, and just plain cool. It's a mix of summer-friendly basics and trend-forward pieces, all of which promoted me to immediately hit the "add to cart" button. Trust me, you're going to understand why I chose these items when you see them/.

Intrigued by my J.Crew passion? Keep on scrolling. 

I've put this chic sweater-jacket hybrid in multiple stories because it's on-trend, it looks expensive, and it can really be worn year-round (even in the summer—it's 100% cotton).

J.Crew has several black-and-white pieces that have caught my eye recently, but this bow-adorned tank is really making me feel things. Pair it with J.Crew's viral Gwyneth Slip Skirt and heeled sandals for a chic summer outfit.

Did you know that the internet's best black under-$100 mini dress was hiding at J.Crew? Now you do. And fun fact: It comes in red too.

I have plenty of striped shirts, but I'd gladly make room for this one. The boxy fit and cropped wide sleeves make the timeless wardrobe staple feel fresh.

This is one of those dresses that you could wear to a wedding or the farmer's market—it's that versatile. And this floral print is dreamy.

These highly-rated pants have been a J.Crew staple for nearly ten years. They're perfect for beach days, lounging, or wearing out and about with a tank and sandals.

'Tis the season for beachy woven bags, and J.Crew's iteration is excellent—simple, fun, and roomy. You'll carry it over and over all season long.

This tipped tank top hardly even needs a caption—it's chic, versatile, and cool. I'd wear it with everything from jeans to white shorts to a red miniskirt.

The glowing reviews for this chic linen blazer say it all. I love it styled without anything underneath.

Dresses like this are why people are so obsessed with J.Crew right now. Pair it with everything from platforms to Birkenstocks.

These new sandals look comfortable, expensive, and wildly chic. I predict you'll reach for them on many a summer day.

The hype about this slip skirt is completely justified (I own it). The fit is great, the quality is high, and it's as timeless as it gets. I hope J.Crew never stops making it, but I have a hunch that they won't.

Next up, 3 flat shoe trends everyone is still wearing with jeans.

Last but not least is what has to be the internet's most polished denim jacket. It goes with almost every other piece in this round-up.
