I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: My aunt is one of my biggest style inspirations. In my 28 years as her niece, I’ve never seen her looking anything short of ultra-chic and pulled-together, so it should come as no surprise when I tell you that it’s basically her job to help people find their personal style. She went into fashion merchandising and has since worked in everything from personal styling to buying. Practically everyone in our family goes to her for style advice (myself included), and since we both work in fashion now, I’m constantly texting her about everything from the coolest trends to know to what I’m considering buying.
Today, I sat down with her to chat about the best J.Crew summer shopping. The retailer has recently shot up to the top of my priority list and I’ve been finding more and more reasons to shop their chic, elevated staples, but I wanted to get my aunt’s take on what to buy there now. Despite the nearly thirty years between us, we both picked out so many of the same J.Crew items we’re eyeing at the moment, which just proves how versatile and ageless these finds really are.
Instead of keeping them to myself, I’m dishing on all the chic J.Crew shopping finds that my aunt and I are both losing our minds over right now. Ahead are 35 perfect picks.
