27 Versatile Pieces From J.Crew

Buzz Feed10-06-2025
A drop-waist dress but don't worry, no need to run out and buy a pair of heels. This dress is what we like to call fancy casual, meaning it's as fancy or as casual as you make it. It'll look just fine with your classic pair of Chuck Taylors and your favorite denim jacket.
Promising review: "This dress is everything! I can't wait to get it in every color." —AngieLRittPrice: $46.99+ (originally $128; available in sizes XXS–3X, including tall and petite fits, and four colors)
A cap sleeve top with lace trim that you can pair with your roomiest pair of pants or that one skirt your friend talked you into buying at the thrift store because it was just too cute to pass up.
Price: $98 (available in sizes XXS–3X and four colors)
A pair of wide-leg chino pants that come in a variety of neutral colors that'll match every single top in your closet.
Promising review: "I bought these pants last year in navy and wore them so often that I bought them again in the army green color. They are comfortable, look sharp, and wash and dry well — just need a touch up with the iron. I am 5'6" and the length comes just above my ankle bone. I normally wear size 10; ordered these in size 30 and fit is perfect." —CorgiMomNJPrice: $118 (available in sizes 23–37, including tall and petite fits, and five colors)
A classic linen button-up you can wear as a top on its own or as a jacket over a tank. Button ups used to be considered more of a work shirt, but their versatility extends beyond the boardroom.
Promising review: "I'm really happy with this J.Crew white linen shirt. The fabric feels high-quality, light, breathable, and exactly what I was looking for for warmer weather. It's great for dressing up or down and looks effortlessly stylish. Just a heads-up: the fit is very loose. I like the relaxed look, but if you're between sizes or prefer something more fitted, you might want to size down. Overall, a great staple for the season!" —Alex2700Price: $79.50+ (available in sizes 00–24, including tall and petite fits, and eight colors)
A dip dyed button-up because you have tons of pants but not a shirt that can handle more of an upscale occasion. This dip dye pattern is just the splash you need to turn your casual shorts into a ~lewk~.
Price: $118 (available in sizes 00–24)
A pair of jellies, as if we could ever pass up these iconic sandals. Your friends are gonna be ~jelly~ when they see you stroll into the sandwich shop with these puppies on your feet. Is it even officially summer if you haven't worn them yet?
Promising review: "Absolutely adorable and comfy." —SappPrice: $89.50 (available in sizes 5–12 and three colors)
An ultra lightweight graphic tee on the days when comfort is your top priority. It's made with a super soft and drapey fabric, paired with a boat-neck cut, you can wear with literally any bottoms in your closet.
Price: $42.50 (available in sizes XXS–3X)
A pointelle short-sleeve shirt, an everyday basic with scalloped trim and the added design of pointelle panels.
Promising review: "I bought two of these cute tees. I like the added details. They are very comfortable. Beware that the white is a little see-through. I will be wearing them a lot this summer." —Nancy25Price: $44.99+ (availble in sizes XXS–3X and nine colors)
A pair of textured satin pants — don't get intimidated by the material. These pants can still be worn with your graphic tee and sneakers or a wedge and tank.
Promising review: "I bought these in the black and the tan colors and will have them on regular rotation. They feel and look like silk. As comfortable as your favorite pajamas. I sized down one size from my normal size for a less baggy fit, as I am not tall. You will get year-round wear with this versatile addition to your closet." —BeachCrewPrice: $99.99+ (available in sizes XXXS–3X, including tall and petite fits, and eight colors)
An off-the-shoulder top you can wear as a shell under your go-to work blazer or rock solo. It's just another top that has a little something extra, making it stand out from just another basic.
Price: $59.50 (available in sizes XXS–3X and two colors)
A short-sleeve knit cardigan — ooh! Remember those shorts you found at that garage sale a few months ago? Imagine this cardigan with those shorts with a cute belt and your comfiest espadrilles.
Promising review: "So comfy, perfect for spring!" —Cait04Price: $51.99 (originally $59.99; available in sizes XXS–3X and six colors)
A pair of linen shorts you'll probably live in all summer long because they're lightweight and come in *sunshine approved* neon colors.
Promising review: "If you want the perfect summer short pant, you need [this] one." —oneydaPrice: $39.50 (originally $69.50; available in sizes XXXS–3X and nine colors)
A vintage crewneck because you can never have enough T-shirts. If you think about it, they're kinda underrated. When you know everything else you want to wear — jacket, pants, skirt, shoes — and can't find a top, who is always there for you? That's right, good ol' T-shirt.
Promising review: "Nothing fancy but everything you need. What do you always reach for? A basic tee. This one fits the bill and I find myself always reaching for it." —PNW Casual GirlPrice: $19.50+ (originally $39.50; available in sizes XXS–3X and 16 colors)
A pair of oversize heart earrings lest we forget to accessorize. This oversize golden stud rides the line between fancy and casual depending on everything else you're wearing.
Price: $22.50 (originally $39.50)
A ribbed cami great for layering under your button-down top. You can even wear your button-down as a light jacket on warmer days. And, when it gets too hot, you can take it off and wrap it around your waist.
Price: $19.50+ (originally $32.50; available in sizes XXS–3X and eight colors)
A muscle tank that's not just great to work out in. This top has an almost silky feel with a relaxed fit you can wear with your bermuda shorts and boat shoes. Now we just need to find a person with a boat.
Price: $22.50+ (available in sizes XXS–3X and three colors)
A quarter zip sweatshirt — the best thing about this sweatshirt is the 'poppin collar. Zipped all the way up, it may look like a sweatshirt, but with the collar zipped down, it creates the illusion of a top while still being ultra cozy.
Promising reviews: "Love my purchase. It has a modern, stylish look and is so comfy. Runs bigger in size, so size down." —Minnie25"Adorable sweater! Very good fit and I had lots of compliments. A bit more of a cropped sweater." —Trishy88Price: $99.99 (originally $118; available in sizes XXS–3X and two colors)
A scoop neck tank — something about a scoop-neck tank that is subtly sexy. Perhaps it's because the cut accentuates that neckline and leaves a blank canvas of skin you could use to highlight a statement piece necklace. This tank comes in neutral colors you can pair with your patterned palazzo or cargo pants.
Promising review: "I bought these ribbed tees to wear with wide-leg jeans. They are soft and with a slim fit, but not too tight." —Lilalu"Love these T-shirts, a little nicer-looking because of the neckline and cap sleeves. Very soft against the skin and washes well. I did not put them in the dryer; I air-dried and then put them on fluff with no heat, so they would soften again. Perfect!" —AnonymousPrice: $19.50+ (available in sizes XXS–3X and three colors)
A mini sweater dress, an outfit by itself, or a fantastic base you can pair with your cardigan or duster and wear with your everyday tennies.
Price: $99.99 (originally $128; available in sizes XXS–3X and two colors)
A denim skort to give you the beeeest of both worlds. 🎶 Hannah Montana would agree that wearing a skirt with shorts already built in, allowing you to move freely without fear of flashing the undercarriage, is pretty top-tier.
Promising review: "Perfect denim skort that will complement hundreds of J.Crew tops this season." —SJCraigPrice: $69.50 (originally $118; available in sizes 00–24 and two colors)
A basic ballet flat that could be considered a fashion crime not to have at least one pair in your repertoire. Sometimes you don't need a shoe to make a statement, you just need a shoe to wear so you can leave the house. This is a great option because it doesn't distract from whatever else you may have going on with your outfit. It's simply a *cute* shoe.
Promising review: "The Andi ballet flat is a perfect Spring/Summer shoe. I have them in two colors. They are on trend and look great with so many outfits. I love wearing them and get so many compliments on them." —The ShopperPrice: $66.99+ (available in sizes 5–12 and seven colors)
A duster blazer for practical warmth on a chilly commuter morning to throw over your already stellar OOTD.
Promising review: "Just started a new position and needed something a little more professional than a standard cardigan and to move from outside to inside [California]. Looks slouchy in the picture, but wears better. Can dress up or down and it's warm, too!" —schahnPrice: $94.50+ (available in sizes XXS–1X and four colors)
A stretch linen blazer if you've just entered a job that has a more *profesh* dress code. This blazer added to your graphic tee and jeans meets the requirement.
Promising review: "Beautiful blazer. Everything about this coat is authentic. The fit is perfection, it hugs in all the right spots, giving me a feminine look…in a blazer! I have already worn it with jeans and then threw it on with my dress on another office day. I will have this piece in my wardrobe for years to come — classic." —Sales GalPrice: $248 (available in sizes 000–24, including tall and petite fits, and six colors)
A fleece hoodie ideal for keeping in your bag if you live in a place where the weather could turn its back on you at any given moment. Believe it or not, you can wear this hoodie with more than just your sweats. Add it with faux-leather pants, those oversized heart earrings, and ballet flats, and your casual hoodie just got upgraded to first-class fashion.
Promising reviews: "Have this sweatshirt in another color already. It's so cozy, I couldn't resist buying another. It's very thick and soft." —Julie64"I purchased the hoodie at the store after seeing it online and having it in my cart for over a month. The perfect grey hoodie, cozy but not oversized, is a great staple in my closet. Ordered my regular size." —MacbPrice: $59.50 (originally $98; available in sizes XXS–3X)
Metallic sneakers that are having a serious moment right now. Thanks to their color, these sneaks can bring street style to any everyday look.
Promising review: "Fits right out of the box. Good quality." —Oldma1Price: $107.99+ (available in sizes 5–11 and five colors)
A pair of barely there slingback sandals with a kitten heel begging for you to wear them so you can finally wear those a little too long pair of pants that have been collecting dust in your closet next to your graduation gown. Plus, that extra elevation makes your calves pop if you wear them with your new skort.
Price: $149.50+ (available in sizes 5–12 and five colors)
A chambray shirt because denim goes with everything. Black leggings? Wear this shirt. Linen pants? Try this shirt. Flowy skirt? Have you considered...this shirt? On warmer days, you can also wear it the same way you would a denim jacket.
Promising review: "Everything I wanted it to be. I've been meaning to get a chambray shirt forever, and this is it. The wash isn't quite as faded in places as it shows in the photos. The one I received isn't really faded at all. But the fit is much better than some of the other J.Crew tops I've tried. Not too loose, not too tight, and the proportions are just right (J.Crew tops tend to be snug at the chest and way too big around the waist —but not this one)." —E_VTPrice: $64.50 (originally $98; available in sizes 00–24, including tall and petite fits)

I Just Found the Style Formulas Tokyo's Chicest Women Follow—and Yes, I Took Notes

Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. It's no surprise that Tokyo is one of the most popular international destinations to visit all year round. As ELLE editors described in our travel guide for the iconic city, the capital of Japan is an amalgam of tradition, modernity, and ingenuity. From the latest technology to a culinary scene that's often imitated but never duplicated, Tokyo proves that faraway travel is worth the time and money. Fashion in Tokyo is equally distinct. Take a stroll through the streets of Shibuya or Harajuku, and you'll find head-turning ensembles—and you'll want to take notes. Spanning from polished suiting to vibrant, unexpected accessories, Tokyo style never fails to be as energetic as the metropolis itself—which is why I'm looking to the city's best street style to inspire the 'fits you'll want to bring. Ahead, we've gathered the coolest outfit ideas to wear on your next trip to Tokyo, ranging from a graphic tee-and-denim formula for an ensemble inspired by the early 2000s to a dressier combination of a bustier top and lace maxi skirt, as worn by Tokyo's style set. Plus, we've found three versatile outfits built around the tried-and-true oversized black blazer, so you can pack smart and save precious room in your suitcase for all those must-have J-Beauty finds. Shop 10 of the best Tokyo street style looks to wear in the illustrious city, below. This uncomplicated combination of the classic oversized black blazer, mock-neck top, and dark wide-leg jeans will leave you feeling comfortable and put-together from day to night in the city. Complete the look with an edgy grommet belt and a pair of sleek, low-heel ankle boots perfect for walking. Planning an evening of dinner and karaoke? Throw the versatile blazer over a graphic tee and bright red miniskirt, complemented by knee-high socks and kitten heels for a look that's effortlessly polished with a touch of kawaii charm. Although most famous for sushi, Tokyo is also a haven for craft cocktail lovers. Find some of the most skilled mixologists during a night out in this flirty monochromatic look, featuring a sexy bustier top and feminine lace maxi skirt, paired with a layered necklace and chic pointed-toe pumps. Leave it to Tokyo fashion girls to nail the trendy early-2000s aesthetic. Try the throwback look in a shoulder-baring graphic long-sleeve tee, cutoff denim shorts, knee-high leather boots, and a logo-laden Gucci shoulder bag. Finish off the look with oval-frame sunglasses and hoop earrings. Keep it casual in this double-denim outfit for your daytime outings. Layer a white T-shirt under a denim vest to wear over a coordinating maxi skirt. Throw on a pair of Chuck Taylors for walking comfort to complete the 'fit. For an off-duty look, reach for the hero piece once again (yes, the blazer) and team it with flowing barrel pants and platform flip-flops. The final touch? A sporty dad cap. A one-and-done white maxi dress is ideal for mornings when you want to mindlessly throw something on—especially when you're deep in jet lag. Opt for a blouson or shirtdress style for instant polish. And to give that Tokyo-approved edge, add cool accessories to offset the romantic vibe, like chunky sandals and a metallic bag. Want something brighter? Choose a red maxi dress for a pop of color. I love this column T-shirt silhouette for its ease. Dress it down with a practical mini backpack, flatform sneakers, and understated jewelry. If you're heading to Tokyo in the fall, this formula is perfectly suited for transitional weather. Achieve the preppy flair in a brown trench coat and ruby wide-leg trousers. A pair of thick-rimmed glasses and a striped satin tie make for a memorable—and very on-trend—finishing touch. Consider this another outfit for the books if you're packing for a fall Tokyo trip. Add an unexpected touch to a simple denim jumpsuit with the help of a statement-making animal print jacket. Cool girl-approved loafers and a choker necklace are just what you need to complete the look. Why Trust ELLE Every product featured on is independently researched, tested, or editor-approved.
