1. J.Crew Relaxed Denim Barn Jacket

J.Crew

J.Crew’s selection of barn jackets is truly top notch, and while you should definitely check out the old-school classics, it’s this denim twist that Associate Commerce Editor Natalie LaBarbera has her eyes on. “I’ve never found a denim jacket I really love, but this barn style one might finally be the one. The fit is so perfectly oversized that it should be roomy enough to wear layers underneath and the pop of color at the collar adds such a fun touch.” Reviewers agree that the fit is slightly big, so if you want a slimmer fit you may want to go down one from your usual size.

2. J.Crew 2025 Rollneck Sweater

J.Crew

“Maybe I’m rushing things, but the minute I see fall sweaters drop, I want to buy them all,” admits Director of Special Projects and Royals Rachel Bowie. (As your friendly local fashion editor, it’s never too early to start stocking up on cozy knits.) “I love the collar and cuff details on this pretty roll-neck style. Also, the soft pinky-purple hue is just gorgeous.” The silhouette strikes a perfect balance between being slouchy and flattering, and there are currently seven solid hues and two stripe options for you to choose from. Just note: Reviewers all seem to agree this sweater has a generous cut, so you may want to consider going down from your usual size when ordering.

3. J.Crew Smocked Midi Dress

J.Crew

I’m a sucker for a good year-round frock and this one checks all my boxes: flattering midi length, comfortable stretchy fit, timeless color options. And while it may or may not work with your go-to everyday bra (depends on how the straps are positioned), it can absolutely work with any strapless bra. The straps are also adjustable with hidden buttons in the back. Reviewers say the material is light and airy, but not sheer, and the curve-hugging fit makes it easy to layer a chunky knit over top come winter.

4. J.Crew Berkeley Suede Shoulder Bag

J.Crew

This gorgeous little suede bag has two adjustable straps, one that can be worn as a classic shoulder style and a second longer strap for those who prefer a crossbody silhouette. In addition to the poppy red above, it also comes in camel brown, chartreuse and pale pink. The interior holds more than just the essentials, comfortably fitting sunglasses and a Kindle, in addition to your phone, wallet, keys and lip balm. And the top closes with a magnetic flap, making it easy to grab what you need on the go.

5. J.Crew Stevie Ankle Boots

J.Crew

No fall wardrobe is complete without a pair of timeless heeled ankle boots. J.Crew’s Stevie style has been a best-seller for years now, and it’s not hard to see why. The silhouette is supremely chic with a pointed toe to elongate your legs and a 2.25-inch heel that’s just high enough to put a little pep in your step without totally killing your arches. Choose from chocolate brown, camel, burgundy or leopard suede, or classic black leather.

6. J.Crew Madelyn Blazer

J.Crew

Another capsule wardrobe staple J.Crew excels at designing is the blazer. The best options are just oversized enough to layer nicely over sweaters or dresses yet still look professional for dressier occasions when needed. This two-button style comes in six versatile shades and features a notched lapel and welt pockets. And, as to be expected, the whole thing is fully lined for added comfort. Just be sure to treat this blazer with care and entrust the professionals at the dry cleaners for cleaning to maintain that pristine fabric and fit for years to come.

Size Range: US 000 to 24, also petite and tall
Materials: 61 percent recycled polyester, 28 percent viscose, 6 percent elastane, 5 percent polyester

7. J.Crew Featherweight Cashmere-Blend Sweater Shell

J.Crew

A classic sweater shell is the ultimate layering piece—style it over a long-sleeve tee as a sweater vest, under a matching cardigan for classic preppy vibes or as a top all on its own. This lightweight cashmere blend is also highly breathable so you can start wearing it ASAP while the weather is still warm. And with six solid hues and one animal print to choose from, I know there’s at least one option that will fit in seamlessly with your existing fall favorites.

Size Range: XXXS to 3X
Materials: 82 percent cashmere, 16 percent polyamide, 2 percent elastane

8. J.Crew Cosmo Pants

J.Crew

I truly can’t explain the chokehold these pants have me in, especially in this bold shade of chartreuse. Maybe it’s the incredibly luxe-looking silky material or the comfortable elastic waistband, or perhaps it’s the range of stunning color options. Whatever the reason, I plan to wear these beauties with anything and everything, including chunky knits, sleek button-up shirts, silky camisoles and even a tough leather jacket.

9. J.Crew Oversized Cashmere Wrap

J.Crew

A cashmere wrap is not just a fabulous gift option for friends and loved ones, but also a total must for stylish traveling. This cozy style cane be draped beautifully over your shoulders, wrapped around your neck like a scarf or even used as a blanket in a pinch on chilly cross-country flights. There are also ten gorgeous colors to choose between, all just as versatile and luxe as the next.

10. J.Crew Patch-Pocket Shift Dress

J.Crew

Denim is always a good idea for fall, but for 2025 it’s not just jeans and jackets that are taking over our wardrobes. Denim dresses of all lengths and styles are a major must-have right now, which is precisely why I’m so excited about this pocket-adorned mini. The sleeveless silhouette and shorter hemline make it comfortable and breezy for those late summer/early fall days that still feel warmer than you’d like. But it can also be layered over a button-up (as pictured here) or a thin turtleneck and tights in peak winter.

11. J.Crew Perfect Rib Long-Sleeve T-Shirt

J.Crew

Editor-in-Chief Jillian Quint recently resolved to invest more in quality, machine-washable neutrals rather than feeling compelled to restock her basics every season. So while this long-sleeve tee may be more expensive than she’d like, so knows it will be worth it in the long run considering the fabric’s durability and impeccable construction. In fact, many reviewers say they own this staple in multiple colors, raving about the soft cotton-blend material and flattering fit. It is designed for a snugger silhouette, so if you prefer your tees to be on the looser side, you’ll definitely want to size up here.

Size Range: XXS to 3X
Materials: 57 percent cotton, 39 percent modal rayon, 4 percent elastane

12. J.Crew Andi Keyhole Ballet Flats

J.Crew

Ballet flats are a tried-and-true classic, but I’m loving the little peek-a-boo twist on the front of this leather pair. It’s so unexpected yet not so bold as to feel like too much of a statement piece. Available in black, pale pink, ice blue and vibrant red, they’re reportedly very comfortable right out of the box, although some reviewers did say it took one or two wears to really break them in. And the leather upper will only get more comfortable over time.

13. J.Crew Carolyn Fitted Crewneck Sweater

J.Crew

Oversize fits and chunky knits have reigned supreme for the past few years, but fall and winter 2025 will see us moving back toward slimmer sweaters. They’re easier to tuck into pants or skirts, and easier to layer under everything from blazers to leather jackets to denim dresses—even another heavier knit. There are currently 12 color options to choose from, though for under $100 I am mighty tempted to add multiples to my shopping cart.

14. J.Crew Lucia Faux-Leather Shorts

J.Crew

“Stay with me here, but these deep red faux leather shorts are the shoulder season statement piece I think I need,” says Senior Editor Dana Dickey. “I can wear them with a T-shirt and sneakers now, then with tights once temperatures drop all the way through to Christmas parties and the end of the year.” They really are such a fabulous statement piece, and the color is even more gorgeous IRL. As for the fit, these have a 4-inch inseam and mid rise.

Size Range: US 00 to 24
Materials: 60 percent polyurethane, 40 percent LENZING ECOVERO viscose

15. J.Crew Perfect Raincoat

J.Crew

Spring may have the mantra of “April showers bring May flowers” but I’ve often found autumn to be the rainier season, making a chic rain jacket an absolute must for the second half of the year. This J.Crew design is a best-selling favorite, with a calf-grazing length that looks far more elegant than most sportier rain jackets. And the adjustable cinched waist means the roomy bodice won’t swallow your figure whole. The fit is slightly big, however that just means more room for layering thicker sweaters underneath.

Size Range: XXXS to 3X
Materials: 100 percent recycled polyamide

16. J.Crew Corduroy Vintage Flare Pants

J.Crew

Give your fall wardrobe a little ‘70s moment with these throwback flares. The kick around the ankle is just wide enough to flow beautifully over a pair of ankle or knee-high boots, but doesn’t look comically large. And the high waist and welt pockets have a fabulous smoothing effect around your hips and midsection. A note on sizing: These pants are designed with a longer inseam, so if you’re on the shorter side you’ll definitely want to check out the petite length rather than regular.

Size Range: US 23 to 37, also petite and tall
Materials: 98 percent cotton, 2 percent elastane
