Business casual (or as I like to call it, girl-boss fashion) is having a major moment this fall. Oversized blazers, smart-looking trousers, and polished blouses are no longer just for the office; they’ve become go-to staples for travel and everyday fashion too. Right now, J.Crew is hosting a massive fall sale and offering 40 percent off sitewide — with even deeper discounts on select pieces with the code “SHOPNOW“. If your closet isn’t up to snuff for fall, this is your rare chance to score stylish, capsule wardrobe essentials that you can mix and match effortlessly on your next trip. 

As a longtime J.Crew fan, I couldn’t resist filling my cart once I saw this sale. And I’m glad I did because items are selling out fast, so start browsing to enhance your travel wardrobe. From versatile black boots that belong in every suitcase to a wool trench coat perfect for a European autumn trip, these are the 14 best deals from the J.Crew Fall Event that will truly wow you.

Shrunken Button-up Shirt

Starting off strong with an extra 50 percent off on this sale item, the Shrunken Button-up Shirt is 61 percent off when you use the double discount code “SHOPNOW” at checkout. It’s the ultimate wardrobe staple that will carry you through fall with endless versatility. Pair it with jeans and a statement belt for a classic, laid-back look, dress it up with a leather skirt, or keep it polished with trousers and a blazer.

Stowe Puffer Jacket

As the weather cools down, now’s the time to upgrade your jacket collection. The Stowe Puffer Jacket should be at the top of your list — not only because it’s 41 percent off, but because it’s also the perfect lightweight, stylish option for any destination. The gold buttons and quilted design add an elegant touch, making it both functional and fashionable.

Carolyn Crewneck Sweater

A brown sweater is an essential fall item, and this one offers limitless styling options. Pair the Caroyln Crewneck with denim — be it jeans, a skirt, or even shorts with tights. Plus, it looks stunning with cream and neutral tones, so you’ll have no trouble mixing and matching it with what’s already in your closet.

Chelsea Leather Boots 

A pair of classic black boots is a fall wardrobe necessity, and these are the ones to get. At 40 percent off, they combine style and comfort with a durable rubber sole and sleek leather exterior that can handle any weather. Swap out your sneakers for these to give any outfit an instantly more polished fall look.

Odette Cable-knit Sweater

Cardigans are a fall staple for good reason: they’re perfect for layering over any outfit and add a cute, cozy touch during unpredictable weather. The Odette Sweater, with its stylish cable-knit design and chic gold buttons, is a standout choice to keep you warm and effortlessly fashionable.

Delaney Kickout Sweater Pants

These pants are sure to become your go-to for the colder months. Crafted from a smooth, fine-knit fabric, they’re both snug and stylish while adding more warmth than your average trousers. The pintuck details and cropped hem add a unique touch, making them great for both workdays and weekends.  

Helena Blazer

A no-brainer wardrobe staple, especially with its 41 percent discount, the Helena Blazer is sleek and comfortable. With a tailored fit, nipped waist, and just-below-the-hip length, this style can be paired with a mini skirt or jeans for a night out, or be kept professional with trousers for the office. The smooth wool flannel ensures you stay cozy while looking sharp.

Cotton Turtleneck Sweater

This cotton turtleneck sweater is destined to become a capsule item in your wardrobe. It’s simple yet stylish, pairing effortlessly with anything. The relaxed fit keeps you cozy, but it’s lightweight enough to avoid overheating. Throw on wide-leg jeans and a black belt, and you’ve just created a trendy outfit in seconds.

High-rise Bootcut Jeans

You can dress these high-rise bootcut jeans up or down — whether with sneakers, flats, boots, or heels. They check all the boxes for fall travels, as the subtle flare and classic high-rise create a flattering silhouette without skimping on comfort. One reviewer even called them the “perfect fit, length, and so comfortable.”

Wrap Trench Coat

We’ve found the ultimate trench coat, and it’s 40 percent off. Wear it open over a cute fall outfit for warmth or make it the star by tying the jacket shut and pairing it with tall black boots. This coat will become your go-to for travel, instantly elevating any outfit. Opt for the soft-brown shade for fall or go bold with red.

Gwyneth Pleated Skirt

The Gwyneth Pleated Skirt isn’t just great for fall; it’s versatile enough to wear year-round. Keep it casual with a T-shirt and sneakers when it’s warm, or dress it up with boots and a sweater for winter. You can even style it with sandals or strappy heels for spring and summer. The pleated lines add a playful element, making it a standout piece.

Heritage Fleece Zip-up Hoodie

I never head to the airport without a zip-up hoodie, and J.Crew has a fantastic one at a great price during the Fall Event sale. Made with supersoft cotton, it’ll keep you cozy both on and off the plane. With a full-zip closure and a hood, it’s everything you want in a comfortable, travel-ready sweatshirt.

Garçon Striped Shirt

At 42 percent off, this striped shirt is a timeless addition to your wardrobe. Its versatility makes it ideal for travel — wear it during the day and again at night by styling it in different ways. Stripes are trending, and this shirt adds a playful, patterned element to any outfit.

Cuffed Wide-leg Trousers

Pair these wide-leg trousers with a matching blazer for a coordinated look, a sweater and boots for cooler weather, or a bodysuit and kitten heels for something that feels more dressed up. They’re super versatile and will elevate any outfit — two boxes I always check when packing for a trip.
