The double-discount sale includes lightweight knits and $25 denim.
I always make the mistake of shopping for fall too early out of sheer excitement, only to find myself with a closet full of heavy knits on an 80-degree day. So, rather than going all-in on next season’s wardrobe, I’m stocking up on those lightweight transitional pieces I can comfortably wear now and in fall with just a few extra layers—and right now, J.Crew is the best place to do that.
Now through August 24, you can take an extra 50 percent off select sale styles using the code SHOPSALE. And while there are more than 800 items to shop from the sale-on-sale, I found 18 that are perfect for this finicky in-between period. Below, shop the tops, bottoms, and dresses I’m eyeing from the double-discount sale, with prices starting at just $18.

I’m easing into sweater season with J.Crew’s airy knits that are breathable enough for a summer night and warm enough for a cold office. This crochet cardigan is my personal favorite—the detailed knit and gold buttons give it a chic, expensive look—but I also really love this cotton-blend style that’s available in trending butter yellow. Other must-have tops include this now-$18 sweater tee, this flowy blouse, and a cropped denim jacket that feels like the coolest version of the timeless style.

When it comes to bottoms, I’m using the sale to stock up on classic jeans that I can wear year-round, lightweight trousers—including this 84-percent off pair—and versatile skirts. In terms of denim, you can’t go wrong with a pair of timeless straight jeans (these are now just $25), but I’m also looking to try something new with this boot-cut style shoppers call comfortable and flattering. And when it comes to skirts, I’m all-in on this 100-percent linen version of the brand’s famous Gwyneth Slip.

Dresses are the easiest way to tackle transitional dressing; all you need is a top layer—think a cardigan or blazer—for that summer staple to become a fall must-have. So while you can’t go wrong with any of J.Crew’s on-sale styles, there are a few I’m leaning towards, including a button-front mini dress, this puff-sleeve style that combines a classic fall brown with lemon yellow polka dots, and the Cinched Zip-Up Dress. With its short hem and long-sleeves, all you need to do is swap your summer sneakers for a pair of knee-high boots to bring it into fall.
