J.Crew's New Fall Items Are Sickeningly Chic—30 I Couldn't Resist Even If I Wanted To

Ever since designer Olympia Gayot took over womenswear for J.Crew, I've been revisiting the brand's site more often than usual. She has put a fresh spin on the retailer's signature preppy styles. Plus, there are plenty of elevated basics to go along with her standout pieces. The brand's also been on a successful run of buzzy collabs—including with Anna October and, most recently, Maryam Nassir Zadeh—that have helped it up its cool factor.
With fall upon us (seriously, how is the time passing so fast?), I naturally headed over to J.Crew's new-arrivals section to see what the latest pieces were for the season ahead. Suffice it to say that I was impressed—so impressed that I found 30 items that I couldn't resist even if I tried. (I didn't.) Below, find elevated cashmere sweaters, versatile dresses, lace-trimmed skirts, sophisticated flat shoes, and luxe-looking bags that'll make you, too, want to show out the second you start to feel the first hints of autumn in the air.
