I scroll through so many retailers on a weekly basis as I’m sourcing new finds to incorporate into my various stories. Three stores that I turn to, well, basically daily happen to be J.Crew, Nordstrom, and H&M. These retailers always have a plethora of standout merchandise to consider.
In fact, I saved a range of fashionable fall pieces from J.Crew, Nordstrom, and H&M to eventually share in one big edit. And yep, today is the day I’m showcasing some of my favorite products from the trio of stores with you. Below, you’ll uncover everything from beautiful sweaters that you may want to live in all season long to striking outerwear selects to the coolest tailoring finds that will elevate any wardrobe.

While we’re just now getting into the end-of-year fall season in New York City, there’s one thing most of our editors haven’t neglected to do once September rolled around: begin thinking about our fall and winter wardrobes. With every change in season comes a changing wardrobe, and naturally, with the amount of trends coming and going one year to the next, it’s only fair to set our sights on picking up a few pieces here and there— especially if they’re on heavy discount. One especially enticing round of discounts stems from our personal go-to for summertime staples, J.Crew, but this year, you won’t have to wait until the long weekend to get in on the action. In fact, you can start shopping the brand’s current selection of linen pants, silk slips, and poplin button-down shirts at a reduced price right this second.
Thanks to J.Crew’s can’t-miss mid-season sale, items are coming in hot at up to 50% off—with some favorites being further discounted an additional 60% off when you use code SHOPSALE. Given the sheer quantity of buy-worthy items on the site right now, I went through all its contents and pulled out the best of the best pieces from the sale. Scroll down to get started.
Okay, I honestly can’t imagine a world where Sofia Richie would be on a budget, but let’s play pretend. If you love her style as much as I do, you probably have already spent some time browsing J.Crew‘s new arrivals for fall. I’ve loved what I’ve seen so much that I had to put in a bulk order and try it all out for myself. The results would make someone with as good a wardrobe as Richie jealous.
In regard to my personal style for fall, I’m currently somewhere between piling up on quiet-luxury staples and trying to get the old money aesthetic in my hands, and J.Crew’s new arrivals do just that for me. Below, see the seven items that I tried on and instantly fell in love with.
I make a lot of SNL references in daily life, but one of my favorite bits to call upon is the one about the sweater weather with Amy Poehler and Maya Rudolph. It’s a banger every single fall without fail. The second the leaves start to fall and the air turns crispy, I’m always thrilled to bust out my favorite sweaters. Or, you know, buy a couple of new ones!
One of my favorite places to buy sweaters is J.Crew. They have a healthy mix of cashmere and cotton fabrics along with crewneck, V-neck, and cardigan silhouettes. I strongly suggest dipping your toes into the color trend of the moment: red. But if you’re more of a neutrals lover, that’s okay too. There are plenty of sweaters in camel, white, black, and other classic hues. Scroll down to shop my favorite J.Crew sweaters for fall and winter 2023.
I’m typically an equal opportunist when it comes to brands I feature in stories. I cover a wide range of industry players, including Valentino, Louis Vuitton, Amazon, H&M, Dôen, and others. However, I have a little secret to confess: I have a slight bias toward J.Crew right now. Can you blame me? The brand hits the sweet spot between quality, price, timelessness, and trendiness. And it has fantastic sales.
Right now, J.Crew has marked down nearly all of its best-selling pieces—some up to 50% off. The impressive assortment includes cozy fall sweaters, sophisticated blazers for work, practical jackets, and more. One standout is J.Crew’s famous Barn Jacket (a term the brand has actually trademarked!), which consistently earns rave reviews from customers. Scroll down to shop all of my favorite J.Crew sale picks right now.
As a shopping editor, I take my responsibility of getting you guys the chicest items on the market very seriously. I’d like to think of myself as your trusted guide on what to buy, and now that fall is in full swing, I’m determined to make this your most fashionable fall yet. The first stop on our journey is J.Crew. If I’m being honest, I don’t usually love J.Crew’s selection. I like to dress on the cooler, edgier side of the spectrum, and J.Crew isn’t exactly known for either. However, fashion people everywhere have been loving J.Crew all of 2023, and I have seen enough try-on hauls and unboxing videos on my social media feeds that I decided to give the brand another chance. I can’t say this enough—I’m thrilled I did. There are so many elevated pieces that I know would fit in with my wardrobe seamlessly, especially the brand’s new arrivals for fall. I rounded up 31 J.Crew picks that I would actually wear and love.

If you’re looking to update your wardrobe this season by adding a few pieces that will make your offering feel particularly current, you’ve landed in the right spot. Yep, I’m here to bring you an edit of easy yet trend-forward items that feel very right now. I specifically scrolled through the new-arrivals sections of three of my favorite stores that I know you love as well to uncover the gems coming your way. I’m referring to J.Crew, Nordstrom, and Shopbop.
Below, you’ll find a range of fall items. You’ll notice everything from the tailoring silhouettes of the moment to the elevated basics fashion editors love. There are also trending flats, beautiful accessories, and so much more. Enjoy.

Kate Middleton has traded in her signature midi dresses for a refreshing switch on her royal wardrobe this fall, welcoming quintessential trousers into her rotation. While visiting the Vsi Razom Community Hub in Bracknell, England, on Oct. 4, the newly appointed princess stepped out in a gray mock-neck sweater vest from Cefinn, layered over a classic white collared button-down. She teamed the sophisticated pairing with coordinating wool trousers from Sézane and her go-to J.Crew Avery heels in plaid tweed. Middleton, 41, went the subtle accessory route with Shyla’s pearl gold earrings, revealed as her layered hair and curtain bangs blew lightly in the wind.
Similarly to her sister-in-law Meghan Markle, Middleton often draws inspiration from Princess Diana’s style handbook. Most recently, she re-created one of Diana’s most iconic looks in a green blazer with a white lapel and a white pleated skirt for Wimbledon 2023, just like her late mother-in-law wore at Trooping the Colour in 1988. Middleton also honored her at the same event this past June by wearing Diana’s beloved sapphire and diamond earrings and an Andrew Gn green suit. She most famously wore a blue-and-white polka-dot Jenny Packham dress when returning home from giving birth to Prince George in 2013, highly reminiscent of Diana’s appearance in a green-and-white Catherine Walker dress outside the hospital with Prince William 31 years earlier.
Middleton’s everyday personal style is just as noteworthy. She’s cemented herself as the royal-family outfit repeater, most notably rewearing her white Alexander McQueen suit on multiple occasions throughout 2022. Middleton has also developed an affinity for Catherine Walker coat dresses and coordinated suit sets, even nailing the Barbiecore trend in a bubblegum-pink suit during a visit to London’s Foundling Museum in May.
Ahead, see a few more angles of Middleton’s fall outfit, and shop her exact Sézane trousers, along with similar, more affordable options.
I live for a good sale. You too? Thought so. And yes, I get even more excited when one of my favorite retailers has a new discounted offering. Enter J.Crew. The brand just launched a fall sale through October 5, featuring 30% off your purchase with the code SALETIME.
I took a scroll through the new fall merchandise to curate an edit of discounted items that I think you’ll be particularly into because they could have the power to become true wardrobe staples given their versatility. I’m referring to items like tailoring (including the vest featured above), beautiful knits, chic boots, and more.

Can you tell me about some of the most significant lessons that you’ve learned? I feel like this has got to have its own level of learning curve.
I think the biggest thing is I grew up in a world where you were touching things. It was a physical experience, primarily.
Even though you could order online, we had many stores. There was an opportunity for the customer to go in and touch—and they wanted to.
I learned business that way. I learned in a totally different era. Now, everything is visually online.
My biggest mistake was the packaging. The very first iteration of the packaging, I have this glossy L on the outside.
When you hold it up in front of a camera, you can’t see it. It was very subtle. I thought it was very chic, and no one knows what the hell it is.
I think the other really big mistake I made is I got the team way too big too fast. I came from a world where everyone’s job was very specific.
We thought we were gonna go quickly—we also then got slammed with the pandemic—and so we had to really downsize the team.
When you start doing that, when people have really specific jobs, all the sudden you’re looking at people and a lot of us didn’t know what we were doing— myself included.
That was really a huge learning curve to understand. People who have come up in a small business have a totally different mental and capacity for flexing and bending and doing other things.
Whereas people who come from a very specific role, it’s harder. Not because of any fault of their own, it’s just they’re just not used to it.
So you’re asking someone to do something they may not necessarily feel comfortable with. I also didn’t necessarily know how to direct.
I could spend an hour talking about all the mistakes I made.
J.Crew might be known for its preppy aesthetic, but fortunately for us, it’s not the one that starts with whale-embroidered chinos at the club and ends with pink-and-green paisley on a catamaran. Rather, the J.Crew of 2023 is all about preppy fashion that errs on the side of casual, laid-back elegance—no intense effort or seven-digit net worth required. For proof, all you need to see is the brand’s fall drop, which landed on J.Crew’s website this week and features a bevy of relaxed but rich-looking finds worthy of a purchase ahead of the fast-approaching season.
Among the just-released fall items are viral-prone footwear, ranging from penny loafers to sculptural wedges; dangerously cozy knits; and lots of outerwear for all of the different weather situations we’ll surely be put in before the end of 2023. And those are just the highlights. Scroll down to shop all of our favorite new pieces from J.Crew’s fall reveal.
I don’t know about you, but I, for one, am absolutely over summer. Yep, I’ll say it. I’m over days where the temperature is over 80° and everyone is drinking watermelon or cucumber cocktails. I’m tired of sundresses and sandals. I’m ready for cozy knits, sweaterdresses, and outfits with jeans, boots, and coats. I’m craving whiskey cocktails and Sundays at sports bars with my friends to “watch the game” when we really just need a place to wear our chic but casual fall ‘fits and flirt at the same time.
I’m ready for the leaves to change in Central Park and the hustle and bustle of New York City to come back into full swing after summer vacations and trips to the Hamptons. Unfortunately, we’re fresh off a heat wave in the city, but that hasn’t stopped me from eyeing tons of chic fall arrivals for when it finally gets cool enough to wear all the cool-weather outfits I have been planning for weeks now. To share in the excitement I have for fall, I figured I would put together a list of the fall items from H&M, Nordstrom, and J.Crew that I’m buzzing about. These picks are so good I almost wanted to gatekeep them, but that’s just not my style.

As a fashion editor and the shopping director at Who What Wear, I spend the better part of my days sourcing the market to bring you edits of standout buys. Two retailers where I consistently uncover true gems happen to be J.Crew and Banana Republic.
I’ve shopped at both of these stores for years, and I’ve been turning to them more and more recently because the new collections have been so strong. On that note, I thought I’d pull out a few pieces from each that I love and that I think you’ll love as well.

Meghan Markle continues her quiet-luxury streak with yet another look that has sent fans shopping. While dramatic outfits often grab the general public’s attention, Markle, 42, has managed to steal hearts in simple and refined designs. While greeting fans at the wheelchair basketball final on day four of the 2023 Invictus Games with Prince Harry, she opted for a sweater vest by J.Crew and high-waisted cropped skinny jeans from Frame with a classic pair of black pumps from Aquazzura. She topped the look with minimal gold jewelry, including Luna Skye’s baguette diamond leaf studs, Lorraine Schwartz diamond rings, a yellow-gold Cartier Tank Française watch, and her Cartier Love bangle.
There’s no denying we’re huge fans of J.Crew over here at Who What Wear, so you can imagine my delight when, earlier this week, J.Crew dropped its fall lookbook with tons of fresh and cool fall pieces. I have been oohing and aahing over them nonstop!
The latest collection is such a vibe—a mix of preppy J.Crew favorites, cozy cable-knits, sophisticated suede bags, party-ready sequins, elevated basics, and effortless tailored pieces—and will reinvigorate your new-season wardrobe in an instant. Below, I’m sharing my absolute favorite J.Crew pieces for fall that I guarantee you won’t regret adding to your cart this season.

While an athletic event usually calls for your best jersey and a functional skirt or pair of shorts, for Meghan Markle, a day of sports means something a bit more refined. On Sept. 13, the Duchess of Sussex attended her husband Prince Harry’s sixth annual Invictus Games in Düsseldorf, Germany, a multisport event catered to wounded servicemen and women after serving in Afghanistan. For the occasion, Markle, 42, wore an ensemble that nodded to the quiet-luxury trend, while maintaining her signature sophisticated style. Her preppy outfit included a black scoop-neck top, pleated shorts from Staud, black-and-beige Chanel slingbacks, and an ivory cardigan with black trim and gold buttons from J.Crew, the latter of which caused an unsurprising temporary crash of the company’s site when excited fans tried to shop it. Markle completed the look with a Givenchy logo buckle belt and a host of elegant accessories, including Anita Ko studs, a gold Love bangle and tank watch by Cartier, and a diamond pinky ring from Lorraine Schwartz.
As we anticipate her next appearance, keep scrolling for a few more angles of Markle’s quiet-luxury outfit at the Invictus Games, and shop her exact pieces to get the look for yourself.
The designers at J.Crew have clearly been busy, as the brand just dropped tons of epic new fall pieces. Their latest collection is called “The September Collection” (see what they did there?), and I immediately added multiple pieces to my cart as I scrolled through. I was overwhelmed by how much chic stuff there was to choose from so I figured other J.Crew shoppers may be too. Accordingly, I made a little shopping list to help us all out.
Among the offerings are chic outerwear, sophisticated pieces for nights out, lightweight fall sweaters, trend-forward shoes, and a whole lot more. I predict the TK pieces I’m putting the spotlight on below won’t be in stock for long (that seems to be the norm at J.Crew lately, as the popularity is through the roof), so I won’t waste any more of your shopping time. Scroll to see the September collection items that I think deserve a place in your closet.

There is nothing I love more than a good sale. As a shopping editor, it’s safe to say I’m basically a professional when it comes to sale shopping and now that Labor day weekend is upon us, it’s my time to shine. All of your usual retailers are doing some sort of sale I’m sure, but if you ask me the sale of the season is at J.Crew. They’re offering a 40% off discount plus extra 50% off sale items to round out the summer. Yep, it’s that good. This sale I wanted to really do a deep dive on versatile picks for fall. I’m thinking great flats and boots, knits to wear from work to weekend, pants or jeans I’ll wear on repeat, and outerwear pieces to tie everything together. After digging through all of the items J.Crew had deeply discounted I found 30 that I can’t wait to get my hands on.
