Replica 16 Shockingly Pretty J.Crew Dresses to Buy While You Can

last updated 9 June 2023

I had some time before a dinner this week and decided to treat myself to a quick game of dress-up in the J.Crew dressing rooms. Not because I intended to buy anything, but rather just for fun. Little did I know when I pulled open the doors of the brand's Fifth Avenue store that I was about to stumble upon the motherload, otherwise known as dozens of new dresses, all of which are perfect for spring.

Though my reservation time didn't allow me to try on every freshly dropped dress, I did get to test-drive a few of them. From that, I can say with 100% clarity that you're missing out if you don't follow my lead and check out the selection, specifically the slip dresses, linen frocks, and sequin numbers, all of which could be worn for casual errands, brunches, or chic dinners out. Hell, most of the dresses below could be worn to any of the dozens of weddings it seems we're all invited to this spring and summer. But there's no need to blindly trust me. Keep scrolling to let the 16 dresses ahead do the talking.

J.Crew

Collection Invite Dress

The neckline alone warrants a purchase.

J.Crew

Gwyneth V-Neck Slip Dress

I have a deep affinity for J.Crew's floral-print pieces, and this dress is no exception.

J.Crew

Alicia Cupro-Blend Racerback Slip Dress

I'm a big fan of slip dresses with thicker straps. They give me Jen Aniston/Rachel Green vibes for some reason. This one also comes in orange, which is a trending color this season.

J.Crew

Gwyneth Linen Slip Dress

Oh, wow. This one is a true winner.

J.Crew

Squareneck Mini Sweater Dress

Direct me to the checkout because I need this dress immediately.

J.Crew

Smocked Midi Dress

This blue frock is made for your next Greek vacation.

J.Crew

Gwyneth V-Neck Slip Dress

This was one of the dresses I tried on, and let me tell you, it falls so beautifully on the body and feels deliciously soft.

J.Crew

Strapless Dress

Wedding-guest dresses are needed by the truckload right now. I just found you the perfect one to wear again and again.

J.Crew

Maxine V-Neck Shift Dress

I just love a free-flowing shift dress that still looks elegant. You get the best of both worlds.

J.Crew

Gwyneth Slip Dress

The absolute prettiest.

J.Crew

Tie-Neck Cap-Sleeve Maxi Dress

I bet you'll grab this plaid number again and again this season.

J.Crew

Relaxed-Fit Short-Sleeve Baird McNutt Irish Linen Shirtdress

For work and play and everything in between.

J.Crew

Sequin Gwyneth Slip Dress

This is the kind of dress that'll make heads turn.

J.Crew

Relaxed Tank Dress

Workout dresses are perfect for warm weather. They're cute and better at wicking away sweat than a traditional cotton dress.

J.Crew

Gwyneth V-Neck Slip Dress

I'm so into this one.

J.Crew

Side-Cutout Midi Dress

Just wait until you see the back.
