J.Crew has consistently been the place for classic pieces at affordable prices. Olympia Gayot, the retailer's new womenswear designer, has proven time and time again that basics are all you need to create a chic wardrobe. Speaking of chic, no one does timeless and classic dressing better than the French. I can't help but think of all the chic Parisian women I follow on Instagram while perusing through the site, for I know they would be madly in love with everything.
While the above is definitely a regular occurrence for me, J.Crew's most recent installment of new arrivals felt particularly French, and I needed to share my favorites with you. From ballet flats to striped tees, the new J. Crew items below are not only French girl-approved but also the key to achieving their effortlessly chic look yourself.
