J.Crew is hands-down one of my favorite fashion retailers. Not only does Meghan Markle rely on the brand’s pieces, but the label constantly offers fresh and sophisticated separates ideal for any age, occasion, and style. Most recently, J.Crew dropped 460 new spring and summer styles—though I have a few favorites.
My top picks consist of linen pants, maxi dresses, one-piece swimsuits, comfortable sandals, and more, starting at $40. Each item easily integrates into your wardrobe, making seasonal dressing uncomplicated. Plus, tons of lightweight, airy fabrics are included to help keep you cool during the warmer months.

Speaking of breezy separates, you can’t pass up on the Soleil Linen Pant. Available in 12 colors, the drawstring bottoms boast a ruched waistband, full-length fit, and 100 percent linen construction—you can easily wear them from the house to the beach to dinner. The secret is in the styling; pair them with a wedge sandal for an elevated ensemble or dress them down with a white sneaker.
Sweetheart Tank and Poplin Skirt Dress

Ever since Kylie Jenner stunned in a summer-perfect halter dress last year, I’ve been obsessed with white gowns. (I’m even wearing one right now!) The cotton Sweetheart Tank Dress is the perfect spring and summer addition, offering a clean, sophisticated silhouette that features a flattering neckline, thick straps, and high-waist poplin skirt. If you’re a bride-to-be like me, consider donning this pick with nude heels at your engagement party or bridal shower.
Ruched Square-Neck One-Piece Swimsuit

Who doesn’t want a new swimmie for summer? Especially when it’s sexy and classy like this tomato-red one-piece. The square neckline accentuates the collar while wide straps sit comfortably on the shoulders. A moderately covered behind keeps you feeling secure while side ruching creates an hourglass shape and removable pads give you a customizable fit. Shop the suit in sizes 0 to 24.
Colbie Buckle Sandals

Let your pedicure shine with these metallic gold Colbie Buckle Sandals. Similar to Katie Holmes’s chunky footwear, two straps securely hold the foot in place, a contoured footbed keeps things comfortable, and slim buckles add a touch of pizazz. Plus, the glitzy design is reminiscent of Amal Clooney and Martha Stewart’s glamorous style.
Square-Neck Cap-Sleeve Cotton-Blend Top

Hailey Bieber, Selena Gomez, and Kendall Jenner have all proved that an unfussy, do-it-all white shirt is a must-have—and I have my sights set on the J.Crew cap-sleeve cotton top. It looks a lot like Taylor Swift’s recent spring style, offering wearers a fitted upper, roomier waist, structured neckline, and fresh cotton fabric. Wear the simple blouse with paperbag shorts or a denim maxi skirt for a foolproof outfit formula.
Point Sur Loose Straight Jean

No matter the season, denim is always in; however, I recommend snagging a light-wash version like the Point Sur Straight Jean during spring and summer. The pants are similar to Cindy Crawford’s model-off-duty style, offering a loose, straight-leg fit that hits slightly past the ankles. The vintage-like bottoms exude ‘80s vibes, while a 100 percent cotton build will keep them in your fashion rotation for years to come.
Espadrille Sling-Back Sandal

Cute and comfy? Sign me up! The J.Crew Espadrille Sandal features a rope sole, sling-back strap, almond toe, and unique striped design. I’m already picturing myself wearing these with airy shorts, a tucked-in button-up top, and a bold red lip. TL;DR? It gives quiet luxury vibes, and I’m so here for it.
