J.Crew’s Sale Section Is the Secret Behind My Favorite Spring Outfits
It has everything I need to start the season right.

The temperatures here in New York have hovered around 50 degrees all week, which means I can officially start prepping my spring closet. But after so many months of wearing the same heavy knits, I could use some newness to give my closet a fresh feeling. Luckily, I can rely on J.Crew’s massive sale to have everything I need to upgrade my end-of-winter outfits.
The retailer is currently offering shoppers up to 50 percent off a massive selection of items. Hundreds of on-sale finds are discounted even further if you use the code "SHOPSALE" at checkout. The range includes spring fashion essentials like trendy denim, versatile dresses, breezy T-shirts, and light jackets. In short, it's a sale I won't be missing out on.
With this in mind, I scrolled through the more than 1,000 on-sale pieces to compile a tight, editor-approved curation. Highlights include a very chic raincoat I'll be wearing all season long, a trendy red dress you need for the office, and several amazing sweaters perfect for all of your layered spring outfits—but that's just the tip of the iceberg. Keep scrolling to shop my favorite finds.
This sleek gray skirt pairs perfectly with the season's brighter color trends.
Or, team it with this French girl-inspired knit.
This sweater is in one of spring's trendiest colors, so it would add some much-needed variety to my closet full of black, white, and brown.
Fashion girls have been loving barn jackets recently, and I’m very much on board with the trend for spring. I’m specifically eyeing this one for its cropped length.
These are office-friendly with an elevated dark wash and trouser-like details.
Ballet flats are bound to make their return for spring, and this cool square-toe makes me excited to style them.
A cool rain jacket is not easy to come by, but J.Crew nailed the look with this style.
We’re entering peak travel season, and this cashmere scarf will be the best upgrade to my travel wardrobe.
Don’t mistake this for a simple tank top. The scooped neckline and fine ribbing make it an elevated must-have for your going-out outfits.
White jeans feel right in the spring, so I want to add a pair to my wardrobe.
Pick up this sweater if you want to add a bit of the fisherman aesthetic to your spring wardrobe.
This slip skirt may read sexy, but you can easily style it for casual occasions—just add a sweater or a T-shirt.
This cardigan would elevate even the simplest of looks. I'd pair it with everything from sneakers and jeans to a slip skirt and kitten heels.
Every other season, I like to replace my white T-shirt so that the color stays fresh. This one, as the name suggests, is perfect, thanks to its slim fit and smooth, thick feel.
With the sheer trend still going strong, I'm looking for a piece or two to add to my wardrobe. I'm obsessed with the sheer panels on this skirt for a tasteful peek of skin.
This top was practically made to be styled with dark wash jeans and ballet flats (which you can also find on this list) for an effortless look.
I love everything about this dress, from the trendy dropped waist to the bright red shade.
I had to include another sheer find on this list. You can use it as a going-out top or as a trusted layering piece.
A little black dress never fails me. This one is simple, so you can really have fun with your accessories.
Sometimes, a pretty top like this is all you need for a great look.
This top bridges the gap between a traditional shirt and a cardigan. I can see the styling possibilities now.
Not only do J.Crew's signature Lady Jackets ooze elegance, but they are also the perfect weight to conquer transitonal weather.
With how often I wear jeans, I could use a refresh ahead of the new season. I'm eyeing this pair.
