Between this weekend’s 90 degree temperatures and Finally booking a beach vacation, I decided it was time to get serious about revamping my summer wardrobe, and J.Crew was an obvious place to start. I’ve been eyeing her summer collection—which is full of breezy dresses, refined linens, and chic swimwear—since it came out, and with an excuse to finally buy it, I started revisiting my favorite pieces for discover that they had been mostly marked.

Capeside pleated chino shorts

I’m very particular about summer shorts: I don’t want something too short or too tight, breathability is key and I’d prefer them not to look like pajama bottoms. Luckily, J.Crew’s Capeside Pleated Shorts tick all my boxes. The 42% off style is made from a lightweight cotton blend, hits mid-thigh and features pleated details that elevate the classic summer style. Shoppers love the versatility of the shorts, explaining that they can be dressed up with a blouse and heels or worn more daily with a tee and sneakers. One person even wrote that ever since she bought the shorts, she has been “wearing” them. over and over.” These are “the perfect shorts,” someone else said, raving that they’re “roomy, soft and comfortable.” Plus, as many fans note, the high-waisted style is incredibly flattering.

Top Rosalie

I have enough basic t-shirts and tank tops for summer, so instead of buying them right away another, I grab the Rosalie top, whose intricate smocked collar made it an immediate addition to the cart. According to customers, “it’s one of those classic tops that goes with everything,” with one person even calling it a “summer must-have.” And thanks to its 100% cotton design, it’s also ‘light as a feather’, making it ideal for beating the heat.

Bungalow slip-on linen dress

Every wardrobe needs a versatile linen dress that goes with sneakers and heels, and the Bungalow Popover Dress, loved by over 150 shoppers, is the one I’ve got my eye on. The style effortlessly blends casual and dressy elements, combining a cropped hem, oversized sleeves and a boxy fit with a crisp collar and V-neck. “It’s comfortable, cute and practical,” said someone who received “so many compliments” on the dress, while another added that you get all-day comfort and a classic look. And according to someone else, “it’s the… first linen dress that retains its shape and doesn’t wrinkle, even during travel.” Basically, this dress does it all.

Gingham Ruffle Ruched One-Piece Swimsuit

Gingham swimsuits are hot this year – worn by Reese Witherspoon and Brooke Shields – and I love this half-up one-piece featuring a plunging V-neck, ruffled straps and gingham print classic blue and white. It’s sexy, cute and relatively modest all at the same time. “It provided great coverage and was comfortable for running around after the kids,” wrote someone who said the style made them “feel confident and cute.” And according to someone else, “the ruffles and v-neck are very flattering.”
