J.Crew Calls for Florals, Swim, and Jelly Sandals This Summer—29 Finds in My Cart That I'd Wear to the Côte d'Azur
Whenever I find myself in the Flatiron District in NYC, I pop into J.Crew without fail. My intentions are good—simply browse the new arrivals, maybe try on a cute dress or two—but somehow, I always leave with a hunter-green shopping bag. In light of my recent visit, let me walk you through the highlights.
According to J.Crew's new arrivals, summer 2026 is all about oversize tote bags, gingham cotton pieces, flattering swimwear, freshwater pearls, and tropical florals. On top of that, J.Crew is backing two of this season's most divisive trends: jelly sandals and balloon pants, specifically the Jelly Kitten-Heel Sandals and sheer Embellished Balloon Pant. I've already packed my suitcase for a theoretical vacation, from semi-sheer roll-neck sweaters to smocked halter dresses. Where to? Well, these new arrivals would fit right in somewhere along the Côte d'Azur. Maybe I'll take a last-minute trip to Monaco for the Formula One grand prix or lie out on the sandy beaches of Cannes. More accurately, I'll be finding a chic rooftop bar in NYC and pretending I'm taking in the views of the Colline du Château.
Ahead, discover the best J.Crew fashion finds for summer 2026. Think poplin shorts, floral scarves, crochet cardigans, oversize sunglasses, and so much more. Scroll on to shop the 29 standout items.
