Labor Day weekend means summer’s coming to an end, but it also kicks off amazing end-of-summer sales, starting with one of my favorites–J.Crew. I’ve been a fan since I bought my first J.Crew barn jacket in college, and I still rely on the brand for elevated basics and preppy styles that not only fit perfectly and look great, but are also made to last season after season.
Now is the perfect time to grab cute transitional pieces for fall, including lightweight cardigans and stylish blazers. Also on my list? The cutest ballet flats and accessories, which you can pick up for up to 88% off.

Vintage Flare Jeans
J. Crew
Buying a new pair of jeans is an end-of-summer rite of passage, and you can’t go wrong picking up these Vintage Flare Jeans for 40% off. They come in three different lengths (classic, petite, and tall), guaranteeing the perfect fit, and the soft, cotton-blend denim has just the right amount of stretch to ensure they are just as comfortable when you’re sitting down.
Gwyneth Flounce-Hem Leopard Print Skirt
J. Crew
On days when I don’t feel like wearing jeans, I opt for a long skirt, such as this adorable chiffon leopard-print skirt, which is currently on sale for less than $85. You can dress it up with heels and a black or white tank, or keep it casual with a cropped graphic tee and your favorite sneakers.
Quinn Mary Jane Ballet Flats
J. Crew
J.Crew took its iconic ballet flats and added a Mary Jane strap for extra stability to create the perfect shoe—comfortable, stylish, and currently on sale for $91 off the original price. The styling options for ballet flats are endless, as you can wear them with a long skirt, jeans, shorts, or with your favorite trench coat.
Smocked Midi Dress
J. Crew
I absolutely love the details of this beautiful midi dress, from the smocked waistline to the flowy fabric. Available in red, navy blue, and black, it’s ideal for early fall and can easily be paired with a cardigan or jacket as the weather cools down.
Relaxed Premium-Weight Cropped T-Shirt
J. Crew
I’m taking this opportunity to stock up on some basics, including with this cropped t-shirt. J.Crew uses premium 100% cotton that not only lasts, but actually gets softer the more you wash it. The fit is versatile—relaxed and cropped just the right amount—so you can wear it with pretty much anything in your closet.
Scallop-Trim Cardigan Top
J. Crew
As someone who gets cold in restaurants even during the summer, I’m always looking for the perfect lightweight cardigan. This option checks all the boxes, from the open-knit texture and soft fabric to the dainty scalloped trim.
Arden Blazer in Luster Canvas
J. Crew
ICYMI, blazers are not just for the workplace. For example, this oversized style lends an elevated feel to any look, regardless of the occasion. The modern details on this jacket, including the single-button closure and lightweight basketweave fabric, will quickly turn it into one of your closet staples
Double Heart Drop Earrings
J. Crew
I recently bought J.Crew’s Nautical Charm Necklace, and I’m definitely adding these heart-shaped stunners to my shopping bag. Originally priced at $50, you can pick these up for just $6 (meaning 88% off) when you enter the promo code EXTRA at checkout. In fact, at that price, you may as well pick up a pair for yourself and a friend.
Étienne Oversized Striped Cotton Poplin Shirt
J. Crew
Don’t miss the chance to save big on one of J.Crew’s best-selling staples. Available in both solids and stripes, this oversized button-down is a stylish way to jump in on the menswear trend. Made of a crisp cotton poplin fabric, wear it tucked in with your favorite jeans and loafers, or layered over a tank.
