Get discounts on top of discounts for cashmere sweaters, wool coats, and more.
If you regularly read our shopping roundups, you know by now that we’re no strangers to J.Crew. And who can blame us? The brand’s well-made, long-lasting clothing and accessories are full of personality and, therefore, difficult to resist.
Plus, J.Crew always hits a very specific price point: Their clothing isn’t as cheap as fast fashion items that fall apart after one wear, nor is it so expensive that a plain T-shirt depletes your savings. The preppy retailer found that sweet spot where you’re not splurging unwisely but investing just enough to guarantee that you’ll take good care of your clothes. And you can trust that the clothes are typically made from natural fabrics like cotton, linen, silk, and leather.
All that considered, we wouldn’t blame you for navigating the sale section before perusing full-priced items. Before committing to a bigger investment, you need to know they don’t have what you’re looking for (and more) at a discount.
Lucky for you, J.Crew usually hosts a massive Black Friday sale, which is naturally one of its biggest discount events of the year. We’re still a few weeks away from the post-Turkey Day savings, but you can catch some early bird deals because J.Crew is offering an additional 50 percent off select sale items with the code SHOPSALE online right now. And if you’re booking a winter getaway for warmer weather, swimwear is a whopping 75 percent off on top of already slashed prices!
If that bargain doesn’t entice you enough, we went ahead and curated a selection of the best of J.Crew’s elegant wardrobe staples, cashmere cardigans, and so much more.
The Best Black Friday Picks at J.Crew for 2024
J.Crew Turtleneck Sweater
J.Crew
Quality knitwear is hard to find on a budget, but under $70? Pretty much unheard of. That’s what makes this J.Crew turtleneck such a great steal. Not only is it super soft and easy to wear, but it’s cut in a slouchy, oversized fit that’s both classic yet currently on-trend. This emerald green would make the perfect, non-tacky Christmas sweater.
J.Crew Cotton-hemp blend twill workshirt
J.Crew
Is it just us, or would this shirt be perfect for your upcoming holiday card photoshoot? This plaid button-down is made of a cotton and hemp blend, which means that it’s comfortable and breathable, unlike most festive flannel.
J.Crew Quilted Barn Vest
J.Crew
$158 (52% off)
High fashion brands have recently been creating high-priced barn coats, but we’re partial to more practical and budget-friendly designs with an edge, including this half-off vest. Of course, Katie has been ahead of the curve, having been wearing this utilitarian style for years.
J.Crew Vintage Jersey T-Shirt
$30 (17% off)
This is Katie’s absolute favorite white tee, and we have a hunch that it will be yours too. It’s made of 100 percent cotton, but it’s not stiff like most cotton shirts. Instead, it has a vintage, almost worn-in fit that’s perfect from the very first time you wear it.
J.Crew Bowler Bag
Leopard is one of the biggest trends of 2024, but it can be hard to incorporate the loud print into your wardrobe without feeling like Fran Fine. Make it easier with this cute purse, which will seamlessly blend in with the rest of you fall outfit rotation.
J.Crew Essential Pant
J.Crew
$158 (40% off)
Sleek black trousers will never go out of style, so spending a little more on a high-quality pair is acceptable since you’ll wear them for years to come. Not convinced? Luckily, we found a great slack on sale. These pants drape beautifully and look way more expensive than they actually are. Wear them with a plain tee for a casual coffee, or style them with a blazer and silk blouse for your next business dinner.
J.Crew Gwyneth Pleated Slip Skirt
J.Crew
$128 (61% off)
We still feel childlike joy when spinning around in a full skirt, and this pleated number is essentially the adult version of the frilly ones we wore years ago. Katie wore this to visit the American Ballet Theatre last year, and it’s been living in our minds rent-free ever since.
J.Crew Winona Penny Loafers
J.Crew
$228 (52% off)
If you’re on the petite side, like Katie, you may appreciate gaining an inch or two of height from a chunky loafer. This pair from J.Crew looks extremely similar to a pair she wore to celebrate her friend Stanley Tucci’s cookware launch last year.
J.Crew Sailor-Button Denim Trouser
J.Crew
$158 (60% off)
Some of Katie’s favorite jeans are from J.Crew, and we have a feeling she’d love this wide-leg style with a nautical twist. They are available in regular, petite, and tall inseams too, so you don’t have to worry about taking them to a tailor!
J.Crew Ruched One-Shoulder Swimsuit
J.Crew
$118 (85% off)
It may seem a little too cold to be shopping for swimwear, but J.Crew’s deal can’t be missed, where you can take an additional 75 percent off bikinis, one-pieces, and coverups. The one-shoulder design keeps your chest supported without squishing you, and the built-in ruching is universally flattering. Reviewers say that it offers plenty of coverage in the booty area without feeling frumpy, and it stays in place while swimming or chasing little ones. To top it all off, where else can you find a swimsuit for under $20?
