If you're not already following Olympia Gayot, J.Crew's creative director and head designer, on Instagram, I highly recommend it. The '90s-vibe catalog content is a treat, and her occasional office mirror selfies give you a heads-up as to which chic new J.Crew pieces you'll want to jump on.
Obviously, J.Crew is still busy giving us the classics: easy denim, great-value cashmere knits, and loads of other quality basics to wear on repeat. Now, we're also seeing some buzzy collaborations and regular high-trend moments, such as this fall and winter's slew of red and metallic pieces, the polished layer affectionately known as the Lady Jacket, and more Mary Janes than we know what to do with. Here are the chic pieces of the moment that you won't want to miss.
