When it comes to timeless, preppy styles, nobody does it better than J.Crew. Their polished meets feminine styles are ideal for virtually any occasion, whether it’s an online get-together with friends or a day at the office.
The brand is a go-to if you’re looking for polished-meets-playful clothing, and is one of the many accessible retailers that Meghan, Duchess of Sussex turns to on a regular basis. In fact, her visit to the 2019 U.S. Open in a J.Crew chambray shirt dress was such a hit that it quickly sold out as shoppers rushed to replicate the look.
Now that spring is in full swing, we’ve been loving their fresh new styles that incorporate the lightness and optimism of the season. Florals, gingham, eyelet lace and the duchess-approved chambray are just some of must-haves of the season, and J.Crew’s latest collection of wear-everywhere dresses has them in spades.
