As both a travel and fashion writer, I’m always hunting for comfy clothes that earn a spot in my suitcase—and J.Crew just gave me an excuse to refresh my fall lineup. The brand quietly dropped a massive sale, and the second I spotted it, I was tossing wide-leg pants, versatile maxi dresses, and cozy cardigans into my cart like it was my full-time job. These are the kind of pieces that pull double-duty: they’re stylish enough for a dinner out but comfortable enough to wear on a red-eye flight.
And the prices? Shockingly good. Think comfy pants marked down 91 percent to just $12, thanks to J.Crew’s extra 70 percent off coupon code SALETIME. Midi dresses are just $30, fall knits are up to 50 percent off, and that’s only scratching the surface. Whether you’re packing for a leaf-peeping weekend or gearing up for a long-haul abroad, these are the staples I’ll be reaching for. Translation: run, don’t walk, because these deals won’t hang around.
