Since the beginning of summer, we've been swooning over the head of women's design, Olympia Gayot, and her clever and cool outfit ideas and checking the site regularly to see what chic new arrivals the brand has in store. What we love most about J.Crew right now is that its elevated basics strike the perfect balance of preppy, classic, and timeless, yet they exude a trend-forward touch. Whether it's an of-the-moment color or silhouette, the brand's pieces feel fresh and current. Moreover, J.Crew's pieces are always super wearable—perfect for work, the weekend, and beyond.
