I’m shopping swimwear, summer dresses, and denim, starting at $5.

J.Crew has both my heart and credit card this summer. The timeless brand, known for its wardrobe staples, has been leaning into its cool-girl era—from looks that feel designed for a European summer to its recent collab with Maryam Nassir Zadeh—and I’m all for it. Fortunately, a number of the very staples I’ve been eyeing are on double sale—up to 86-percent off—with the code SHOPSALE.

While Amazon’s Prime Day might be over, there are more than 100 fashion markdowns at J.Crew, from shopper-loved swimwear to effortlessly chic summer dresses. Here are the 10 items I’m eyeing from the sale, starting at $5.

Cotton Voile Ruffle-Trim Shift Dress

A breezy cotton dress is the only thing I want to be wearing this summer, which is why I’m immediately adding this 79-percent off style to my cart. The dress has an effortless feel thanks to the relaxed, almost sack-like silhouette, but features ruffled sleeves with small braided details that seriously elevate it. It’s a versatility that allows you to wear it everywhere and with everything, from flip-flops and sneakers to heels.

Collection Sheer Layered Sweater-Skirt

I’ve been thinking about Anne Hathaway’s cerulean blue sheer skirt set since she wore it in April, and just discovered that J.Crew has a nearly identical style that’s 41 percent off—I’ve never hit “add to bag” so quickly. The skirt has two layers: the opaque bottom layer keeps it PG while the sheer one adds elegance—and yes, a little sexiniess—to the midi style. While you could grab the matching tank, which gets you pretty close to Hathaway’s exact look, I also love the idea of pairing this elevated skirt with a super simple white T-shirt. It’s a high-low combination that will always look cool.

Cutout Halter One-Piece Swimsuit

A sexy one-piece is the unofficial swimsuit of the summer, so I’m considering grabbing this cutout style while it’s 86-percent off. According to fans, the strappy swimsuit is “fun” and “sexy” without being too revealing, with one person writing that it's “comfortable yet flattering…[and] delivers full coverage in all the right areas with a touch of sexiness.”

Cinched-Waist Cropped Top

This strawberry print has been on my wish list since J.Crew dropped it earlier this summer, and I’m finally grabbing it while the cinched-waist top is on sale for $19. I adore that the elastic neck allows you to wear this both on and off the shoulders while the adjustable waist helps you get the perfect fit and crop—the darling puff sleeves are just an added bonus. For a cropped top, I love a pair of super high-waisted jeans, but this would also look great with a breezy maxi skirt.
