Lea Michele Wore the On-Sale J.Crew Cardigan You've Probably Been Eyeing

Lea Michele is back on Broadway (starring in Funny Girl) and getting plenty of buzz for it. And with buzz comes the paparazzi, which have been regularly photographing her on her way to work. Michele's style is pretty classic and polished, so it's not surprising that she'd be a fan of J.Crew, especially given its recent renaissance (which we've covered expensively). The cardigan she just wore suited her aesthetic but with a chic, trend-forward twist.
Michele's cardigan, which she paired with straight-leg jeans, pumps, and a Bottega Veneta tote, is modern with its slightly cropped, boxy cut, and features a chic brown and tan zebra print. And the best part is that it's currently fully stocked at J.Crew, on sale, and an extra 35% off (yep) with the code SHOPEARLY. That brings it down to a very reasonable $71. Scroll to shop the chic cardigan, along with other J.Crew cardigans I believe you'll love as well.
On Lea Michele: J.Crew Ribbed V-Neck Cardigan Sweater in Zebra Stripe ($71); Iro coat; Bottega Veneta Medium Arco Tote ($2800)
