J.Crew might be known for its preppy aesthetic, but fortunately for us, it’s not the one that starts with whale-embroidered chinos at the club and ends with pink-and-green paisley on a catamaran. Rather, the J.Crew of 2023 is all about preppy fashion that errs on the side of casual, laid-back elegance—no intense effort or seven-digit net worth required. For proof, all you need to see is the brand’s fall drop, which landed on J.Crew’s website this week and features a bevy of relaxed but rich-looking finds worthy of a purchase ahead of the fast-approaching season. 

Among the just-released fall items are viral-prone footwear, ranging from penny loafers to sculptural wedges; dangerously cozy knits; and lots of outerwear for all of the different weather situations we’ll surely be put in before the end of 2023. And those are just the highlights. Scroll down to shop all of our favorite new pieces from J.Crew’s fall reveal

*Copies entire look immediately.* 

Ever since I learned the story behind penny loafers, I’ve been obsessed. This pair’s croc material, two-tone color palette, and perfect lift level only add to the allure. 

Me, whose ideal outfit is a cashmere groutfit, falling for a gray sweater? Shocking. 

Ever since I saw royal blue trousers at Tory Burch’s runway show last February, I’ve been searching for the perfect pair. And look, I just found it. 

This jacket resides at the corner of comfy and chic. 

The gold buttons are a great touch. 

I have a denim maxi just like this at home and wear it at least once a week. 

This whole look gets a 10/10 from me. 

For when you need to look put together but want to wear jeans, try this trouser-like, wide-leg pair. 

Pure elegance. 

Yes, fashion’s obsession with red is still burning strong. 

All I want to do right now is wrap myself up in this cardigan. 

Just beautiful. 

I can’t think of a single reason why I wouldn’t buy this polo-neck knit. 

A color so pretty you’ll want to wear it again and again. 

The fact that this sweater-blazer is still in stock after Meghan Markle wore it is shocking to me.

I’m in love. With this coat, that is. 

If it’s suede—whether it’s a skirt, a bag, or a jacket—I want it. 

The ’80s called. They want their jacket back. 

Satin is having a serious moment in 2023. 

I know, I can’t believe it either, but wearing shorts in fall and winter is cool again.

Nothing screams chic quite like gray, tailored separates. 

Swoon. 

The fit on this blazer is next level. 

When in doubt, throw this on with jeans and a tee.

Just perfect. 

If your fall wardrobe’s already full of neutral knits, let this bright-blue option spice things up.

For patent-leather pants, these feel surprisingly wearable.
