I'm a fashion editor who loves to receive compliments, and lately, I've noticed my most complimented outfits always include a J.Crew piece. Whether it's ballet flats, tailored denim, or an oversize sweater, the praise follows the label. As I prepare for winter layers, I thought I'd upgrade my wardrobe with a well-timed shopping spree. J.Crew just released plenty of chic new arrivals, from vintage-inspired roll-necks to designer-looking accessories.

During my shopping trip, I noted the J.Crew outfits I'd like to wear this winter. Spoiler: lots of chunky knits, barrel-leg pants, and affordable suede. Scroll to see which ones made my list.

You can never go wrong with a J.Crew roll-neck. It's a classic, and this one's inspired by a vintage silhouette. Style it with jeans and a pop of red to turn heads.

Evening jackets and tweed blazers are garnering extra attention. Perhaps it has something to do with the recent Dries Van Noten and Chanel collections. This cropped single-breasted jacket from J.Crew will look right at home in a fashion person's closet.

A Fair Isle sweater is high up on my winter-wardrobe wish list. As evidenced in this everyday look, the chunky knit pairs perfectly with a plaid overcoat and barrel-leg jeans.
