I'm a Fashion Editor, and I Wear J.Crew, Madewell, and Abercrombie a Lot—These 31 Fall Items Are the Chicest
Pictured: J.Crew Long Barn Jacket in Plaid ($398)
As a fashion editor (the shopping director at Who What Wear), I have a short list of brands and retailers I turn to first when sourcing market to recommend across my content. These brands are also front-runners when it comes to my personal wardrobe. Three labels I wear on a regular basis are J.Crew, Madewell, and Abercrombie & Fitch. Favorites of yours, too? Thought so.
These beloved brands have a mix of elevated basics that are highly wearable and trend-forward picks to bring that relevant twist to a wardrobe. I literally can't stop thinking about the Alexa Chung for Madewell suede blazer I'm wearing below. With all of this in mind, I thought I'd round up some of the chicest fall items from J.Crew, Madewell, and Abercrombie & Fitch that I think you'll also love. Happy shopping.
J.Crew
Madewell
Abercrombie & Fitch
Love the idea of teaming these pants with a button-down shirt.
Wear this top on its own or for layering.
