J.Crew Might Be American, But These 31 Sale Buys Scream French
If only I spent as much time in France as I do thinking about how to create the perfect Parisian wardrobe. My closet would be full of ballet flats and stripes, and every day, I'd walk to the market to fill up my chic straw bag with pretty produce and the most beautiful baguettes. Alas, a little bakery in Brooklyn Heights and all-American retailer J.Crew must sustain me for now.
Today, after grabbing the requisite croissant and coffee, I began to browse J.Crew's latest spring offerings and was pleasantly surprised to discover that a sale commenced this morning. As with most major markdown events, the best merchandise tends to go quickly, so I got to work scrolling through dozens of pages (and thousands of products) with the singular goal of achieving the French-girl spring wardrobe of my dreams.
From now until April 15, use code SHOP30 for 30% off of your purchase on select full-price items and an additional 30% off sale styles. In fashion math, that basically equates to saving enough to buy a ticket to Paris tout de suite!
Keep scrolling to shop the 31 most French-feeling pieces on sale right now at J.Crew, and get excited for warmer temps headed your way this spring.

J.Crew's Lady Jacket is a must-have in any color, but I'm particularly fond of this striped style.
Too hot for sleeves? Try a sweater-vest instead. It can be styled the same way as its cozier counterpart.
IMHO, one can never have too many striped boatneck tees.
Simple woven styles get even more comfortable with regular wear.
Look effortlessly chic in linen. (It comes in polka dot too.)
Linen trousers are a summer essential; stripes are optional but encouraged.
Another petite bag just begging to be filled to the brim—perfect for a personal picnic lunch.
Merci, J.Crew, for creating this perfect menswear-inspired button-down.
It's official: I'm a committed collector of J.Crew's iconic roll-neck sweaters.
A high-cut leg and cheeky coverage make this stylish one-piece wearable in any locale.
Simple stripes make this mock-neck tank an interesting everyday piece.
As if I needed an excuse to buy another pair of J.Crew's beautiful ballet flats.
Ankle straps add a little something extra to these simple leather flats.
Eye-catching accessories are the key to perfecting this easy one-piece outfit.
I'm partial to navy stripes, but red feels just as French.
J.Crew's classic-fit tees come in several fun solid colors too.
Make it a matching set for under $150.
A unexpected flouncy skirt adds a playful vibe to this cotton shirtdress.
J.Crew's linen shirts only get better with time. Just remember to air-dry so it doesn't shrink!
Another matching striped set that is too sweet to resist.
A high waist and wide leg make these all-American jeans feel very French indeed.
Find a more versatile wardrobe staple. I'll wait.
At just $15, it doesn't take much convincing to recycle those old totes for something a bit more refined.
Vertical stripes are an easy way to make your legs look longer—bonus points for pairing these pants with cute pumps.
A sweater tank looks elevated on its own even if there are accompanying styles to match.
