I’ve written before about my love for J.Crew. I frequently think about how a J.Crew cashmere hoodie I stole from a guy friend in 2009 single-handedly made me appreciate the timelessness of a well-made sweater. I’ve been wearing the brand since my first middle school camping trip, but ever since Olympia Gayot came on the scene as creative director in 2020, my friends and I can’t get enough. She’s also responsible for relaunching J.Crew’s iconic catalog, which is something I was GIDDY about.

If you don’t know Gayot's Instagram, well, you should. Each season, she does try-ons of her favorite new J.Crew pieces, styling them in ways so enviable that it came up in conversation at lunch with two of my friends this week; the most memorable being the way she recently put together a red cashmere sweater-and-shorts set. This is all to say I, and everyone I know, will have whatever she’s having. And you should have it, too, which is why I’ve narrowed down 30 of my favorite fashionable J.Crew looks (largely curated from the Olympia’s Picks tab—you’re welcome for the tip) below.
