There are some new arrivals for men (click here) & women (click here). {wahoo!} It looks like Crewcuts (click here) has been updated, as did the J.Crew Collection (click here).
The May catalog (click here to view) is available to view. However, the new June & July catalog are still not up yet. I thought for sure the June catalog would be up by now.
Sadly, I am a bit underwhelmed by the current roll out of new arrivals. I am sure that will change once I visit my local store. Right now, the only thing that strikes my fancy is the Swiss Dot Tuxedo Shirt (item 01990; $88.00). Nothing extraordinary, but that is what I like about it. A classic piece to own.
What I am disappointed about is the lack of longer skirts- as in, not enough at or below the knee, not enough in an a-line shape, and not enough reasonably priced. (I don't need a Collection skirt with a Collection price for a Summer staple.) Whatever happened to all the regular cotton skirts that J.Crew use to offer like the Cotton Taffeta Belle Skirt (Item 97636; $78.00)? It came in lovely shades, machine washable, relatively affordable, and in a wearable length.
I am also not thrilled with the current offerings of maxi dresses (they are either shapeless, flimsy, and/ or not long enough). I was excited about the Silk-Trim Maxidress (item 01174; $110.00, now $98 - $79.99) until I got it. The "super-light knit jersey" is almost see-through and shorter than I expected. Plus the waistband is not stretchy, which I wasn't expecting to find (and didn't care for). Frankly, the quality is not there to justify that price tag (even on sale). J.Crew use to make great cotton maxi dresses too- that were of substantial weight and detail, like the Dressy Jersey Grecian V-neck Long Dress (item 12613; $98.00).
The Sale Section (click here to shop online) had a super big update this morning for the Women (1105+ items) and a decent update for the Men (317+).
In addition to a number of older (somewhat random) pop-backs, there are lots of new markdowns. (Yey!) Some of which include:
- Ratti regatta tank (Item 46654; $78.00) now $59.99
- Boy shirt in sea horse (Item 43292; $88.00) now $69.99
- Engineered-stripe boatneck top (Item 25167; $45.00) now $29.99
- Silk crepe stripe tank (Item 01365; $88.00) now $68.00
- Cluster sequin tee (Item 17970; $98.00) now $68.00
- Crystal and neon chevron bracelet (Item 04336; $78.00) now $59.99
What items are you most excited about and why? Which items are you surprised (or not surprised) to see? Which items did you hope would be included? Were you expecting a bigger roll-out today? Also, did you receive the latest catalog? :)
