A glimpse into my morning routine as a newly inducted member of corporate America: I'm up at 6 a.m., racing for the New York–bound NJT train subject to delays, saying hello to my favorite train conductor, and queuing up Dolly Parton's "9 to 5."So how do I stay optimistic, even when the delays are more reliable than the train itself? A corporate-approved J.Crew shopping spree, of course. If I can't control the commute, I can at least be the best dressed in the office.
My cart is full of pretty pleated skirts, sophisticated sets, and dresses tailored for success. There are also cool and comfortable linen pieces that are both season- and office-appropriate. J.Crew's clean, elevated style aces that polished, effortlessly chic workwear vibe—making it ideal for easy office styles this summer. Whether you just started a new role (congrats!) or you're refreshing your 9-to-5 wardrobe, I've rounded up my favorite office-ready J.Crew finds that are sure to impress.
