Top frame closure. Interior back-wall pocket. Cotton twill lining. Import. 6"H x 10 1/2"W.

Skinny leather belt

A wear-over-anything skinny belt that's sure to punch up even the plainest of outfits (in other words, just the thing to own in every color). We designed it to be worn at the waist, so we recommend ordering a size up if you plan to wear it lower. Smooth Italian leather. 12K antiqued gold-finish brass buckle. Width: 1/2". Import.

Petite embossed playa dress

The perfect little dress for sun-filled days, with an easy-to-wear shift silhouette (we love the delicate shirring at the neckline) and interlocking crisscross straps in back. Fabulous with flip-flops at the beach or dressed up with a cardigan and sandals for the office. Cotton. Loose fit. Side zip. A-line skirt. Fully lined. Falls above knee. Import. Machine wash.

Agnyss sandals

Perfection as far as summer shoes are concerned: flat strappy sandals in a streamlined, modern-girl stance with chic, crossover canvas straps (they're wide with raw edges) as well as a luxe buckle at the ankle.

Self-tie drawstring at low hip. 3 1/2" inseam. Import. Machine wash.

Crafted in Italian leather with a beautiful, burnished finish inspired by vintage belts. We even designed the stitching to look frayed and broken in places to replicate thhat had-it-forever look. Old English brass-finish buckle with single-prong closure. We added extra holes so you can wear it at the waist or hips. Width: 1 1/4". USA.

Ginny dress

The strapless silhouette is an easy style you simply can't go wrong with. We gave this one a graduated petal-shaped eyelet cutout appliqué (hence the two-toned effect) made of a fine-count sheer voile cotton that was developed by Indian artisans—we love how the border of each and every petal is embroidered. Elastic gripper at top of dress for better support. Fitted bodice. Interior corset for added support. Side zip. A-line skirt. Fully lined. Falls above knee. Import. Machine wash.

Solid embossed Lorelei dress

The perfect little dress for sun-filled days, on or off the beach. Dressed in beautifully textured cotton in a sweetly ruched, strapless silhouette.

Solid Schuyler dress

A darling daytime piece that's as functional as it is flattering.

Sleeveless. Side zip. Fully lined. Falls above knee. Import. Machine wash.

Featherweight cotton bling-button cardigan

Tailored denim pencil skirt

A smartly tailored update to the classic denim skirt in our newest silhouette, with pleating at the waist and shaped seams in back (so it's beyond flattering). In one word, amazing—on absolutely everyone. Cotton. Sits at waist. Back zip. Two back vents. 23 1/4" long. Import. Machine wash.

A beautiful bouquet of textures—cotton-silk flower petals delicately applied onto screenprinted cotton jersey. This tee is certain to set your wardrobe abloom. Crewneck. Short sleeves. Import. Machine wash.

Stripe sequin boatneck tee

A classic striped nautical tee—complete with boatneck and three-quarter sleeves—updated with rows of sequins along every stripe in the front to create a glistening effect.

Twirled metal and crystal necklace

Our designer has mastered the art of pairing masculine and feminine elements to give your warm-weather ensemble a modern twist.

Grosgrain ribbon tie closure. Import. Length: 47".

Painted silk Bridget dress

Think of the one-shoulder silhouette (which is having a big fashion moment) as a modern alternative to the traditional strapless shift. This watercolor-inspired print of fanciful flowers was taken from a vintage dress that our designers fell in love with and had engineered onto silk habotai. They finished it off with a waist-cinching belt and a playful bubble hem for added aw-shucks allure. Side zip. Fully lined. Falls above knee. Part of the J.Crew Collection. Import. Dry clean.

Golden swirl dress

Our new obsession—the one-shoulder silhouette—in swirls of golden lamé cloqué (it comes from Ratti, one of Italy's finest couture mills, famous for its printed fabrics and couture clientele) and fine Italian linen.

We even gave the skirt a playful bubble hem for added allure. Silk/metallic threads. Side zip. Fully lined. Falls above knee. Part of the J.Crew Collection. Import. Dry clean.

Straight skirt. Fully lined. Falls above knee. Import. Machine wash.

Knotted starfish dress

A modern, slightly bohemian take on two summer classics—the sleeveless shift silhouette and the starfish motif.

Our designers finished it off with horizontal rows of self-fabric folds and knotted ties. Back zip. Slight A-line skirt. On-seam pockets. Fully lined. Elastic at the waist. Falls above knee. Import. Dry clean.

Leather marquet belt

Our designer was inspired by a flea market find and reinvented it just for you. This boho-chic masterpiece is made of multiple raw-finished leather strands that come together at the buckle with luxe gold-finish berries dangling from them—the refined gold-finish brass buckle gives the look a classic contrast. Take it uptown or downtown, depending on your mood. It's designed to be worn at the waist so we recommend ordering a size up if you plan to wear it lower. Vintage and antiqued leather. Width: 1/2". Import. Catalog/jcrew.com only.

Cotton patio skirt

Cotton/rayon/spandex. Straight shape. Elastic waistband. 15" long. Import. Machine wash.

Twisted chiffon cardigan

We took our classic V-neck cardigan and added a twist: hand-tacked chiffon trim along the neckline (it reminds us of satin jacket lapels) and two welt pockets.

Long sleeves. Hits at hip. Import. Hand wash.

Chiffon tiered tank

Our designers flourished this drapey tank—crafted from a new cotton/Modal®—with self and chiffon tiers all over the front, so it works beautifully dressed up or down, alone or layered. Scoopneck. Import. Hand wash.

Bay stripe perfect shirt

Borrowed from the boys, but designed and tailored impeccably for us—that's why we call it "perfect"—with precise placement of waist and bust darts, creating our most fitted, feminine silhouette yet. Ready for cool ocean breezes, this shirt was crafted from a gauzy yarn-dyed and washed cotton/rayon fabric. Each design has a specific secret wash to achieve its own brilliantly worn-in color, texture and handfeel. We love how the stripes are faded and varied, a classic beachy look. Tailored fit. Long roll-up sleeves. Buttons at cuffs. Import. Machine wash.

Linen charter skirt

This wear-anywhere day skirt is incredibly flattering, thanks to its full shape. But it's the intricate design details—pockets, pleats, belt loops, waistline shirring—that make it charming and special. Linen/polyamide. Sits above waist. Back zip. Off-seam pockets. Fully lined. 17" long. Part of the J.Crew Collection. Import. Dry clean.

A part girly, part rock-and-roll frock in easy-wearing, effortlessly chic knit cotton.

Falls to midthigh; 17 1/2" from natural waist. Import. Machine wash.

Brushstroke mini

Abstract stripes hand painted and screen printed by one of our very own artists, then engineered onto a slighly heavier, textured cotton weave (it actually resembles studio canvas) for a masterpiece effect. Cotton. Sits at waist. Back zip. 16" long. Import. Dry clean.

Gallery-stripe Marlie racerback dress

One of our favorite slip-on-and-go dresses of the season, this marries the luxe feel of silk with the sportiness of racerback straps and tee-pocket detailing. The stripes were originally hand painted (hence the smudgy, brushstroke effect) and turned into a print that we engineered onto sumptuous silk. We're loving it mixed with more structured tomboy pieces—like a bomber jacket or blazer—and piled-on jewelry for added contrast. Sleeveless. Racerback shift silhouette. Relaxed fit. Side zip. Straight skirt. Fully lined. Falls above knee. Import. Dry clean.

Ruffled Rainey blazer

One of our favorites of the season, in a beautifully burnished taffeta with a slightly rumpled finish (the fabric is woven with tiny metallic threads to create a beautiful hammered texture with a soft lustre that's so imperfectly perfect). Slightly vintage in feel, our designers gave it a chic ruffled collar and a belt. Cotton/poly/metallic threads. Standing collar. Three-quarter sleeves. On-seam pockets. Removable belt. Fully lined.
