35 Anti-Trend Summer J.Crew Finds I Am Screaming About to Everyone

J.Crew is currently all I can think about. After just a few scrolls through the site's new arrivals, I have decided the low-key luxe aesthetic J.Crew is championing is my new summer personality. I am officially telling everyone I know about the assortment because it is just too good. Instead of buying into tons of trends, I am trying to buy quality basics I can wear on repeat all season long.
It's easy to get lost in the myriad of great items at J.Crew right now. That's why I spent hours scrolling so you don't have to. Here, I have shopped out 35 of the best basics at J.Crew, from swimsuits to tank tops that will have you feeling elevated, chic, and super comfortable. I can guarantee that whatever you buy from this grouping will be something you'll want to wear every day this summer.
If you're going to wear thong sandals, make sure they are these.
A summer sweater is always good to have on hand when the sun sets.
Layer this over your swimsuit for an easy and elevated beach or pool look.
Copy this entire outfit on your next vacation.
An effortless dress if I ever saw one.
This is the J.Crew shirt we can't stop talking about at Who What Wear.
I have a feeling these are about to be the best trousers ever.
This raffia clutch is the ideal accessory for summer nights.
Pair this with loose white jeans and low kitten heels for an easy and chic look.
Wedges are having a major comeback this season, and I am very on board.
