J. Crew Is Back With a New Mission to Steal Our Hearts Again

It’s a blast from the past, with J. Crew returning with a new mission to steal our hearts and money again.

There was a time when J. Crew’s blazers, button-up blouses, and dress pants held a special place in almost every woman’s closet. However, the enthusiasm the brand once evoked in its consumers for some time faded. The name J. Crew became a logo of reminiscing, not one of longing. Although, much to consumers’ surprise, there is an eager, giddy feeling reignited when you pass the brand’s display windows.

What is it about J. Crew’s recent releases that have renewed consumer interest? It could be the brand’s womenswear director, Olympia Gayot. Her keen eye for fashion is not limited to runway releases. Instead, as she walks the heavily worn streets of New York City, Gayot collects glimpses of what the everyday woman is wearing. In doing so, Gayot restored the glory of J. Crew’s heritage by reanimating the brand’s designs from the 80s and the 90s.

The J. Crew’s Italian wool blend pinstripe blazer with metallic threading is a great example. The blazer is part of a three-piece suit; the trousers and buttoned vest are made of the same material to match the blazer. Not only that, the stitching and fabric are up to par with atelier suits. Altogether, the look provides a sophisticated aura while eliciting an exciting spark with the metallic threading. It’s a perfect look for any holiday party.

Another example of the brand’s designs that have sparked interest is its kitten heel mules. The mules come in three colors: black, silver, and gold. Two of this season’s most exciting trends are combined into one shoe. Colors like metallic silver and gold and styles like kitten heels are huge must-haves this season. The black mules are patent leather, while the silver and gold have a regular metallic leather finish.

Overall, there is so much to be excited about when it comes to J. Crew’s recent collection. The brand still has a Black Friday sale on select pieces to make things even more enticing. Make sure you check it out and re-embrace the J. Crew heritage.
