Clothes Are Practically Free (& Selling Fast) At J.Crew's Year-End Sale

Sometimes end-of-year sales can be kind of disappointing when you find all that's left are Christmas pajamas and discounted undies. Fortunately, this is not the case with J.Crew’s year-end sale, which has so much to choose from, plus all sale items are an extra 50% off. Just use code BIGSALE at checkout to receive an additional half-off many items that are already deeply discounted. The savings are so good, in fact, that all eight items in the list below tally up to just over $100 (and that includes shipping!)

The best thing about the sale it that’s not just winter items (although of course it does include cold weather clothes at amazing prices). You can stock up now on summer staples like bathing suits for the whole family, shorts, and a straw beach hat (which is a good reminder that the freezing days of January and February will eventually end).

Whether you just need some basic layering pieces to get you through the winter or you little one is in the middle of a style evolution (or yet another growth spurt) I’ve got you covered with eight great items for J.Crew’s year-end sale. Just remember to read the description closely if you’re unsure about size because some items are final sale.

1

A Floral Shirt

This boat neck in a delicate floral print works well at the office or for a night out, plus it's machine washable for ultimate ease. The pattern has subtle pops of red, yellow, and blue, and the horizontal seam detail on the back gives it a playful detail when you take off your jacket. And did I mention is just about 85% off the original price?

2

A Colorful Beanie For Kiddos

Kids hats always seem to be getting lost or left on the playground, but this brightly colored one is hard to leave behind. It's made from a nylon and wool blend, so it's warm and cozy, plus it has flaps to keep little ears warm.

3

A Scarf You'll Want To Wear Everywhere

You'll want to wear this cape-scarf everywhere: in cold offices, at the movies, on a plane, maybe even as a bathing suit cover-up. It has arm holes so it drapes like a cape but has the ease and the versatility of a giant shawl.

A Comfy Legging That's Made To Move

These are called the "everyday" leggings because your kiddo will probably want to wear them again and again (so you may want to snag more than one pair). They're made from a blend of cotton and elastane which helps keep their shape, and they're designed to withstand tumbling, which means they shouldn't rip right away. There's a dress available in the same pattern, too.

5

A Striped Shirt That Goes With Everything

This cotton tee is now made with slightly longer sleeves so it's great for transitioning from a winter layering piece to your favorite spring shirt. The navy, white, and pink stripes are so subtle that you can pair it with anything, and it also comes in a red and white or black and white stripe.

6

A Fun Velvet Headband

A fun headband is an easy way to look pulled together on those day you can't find anything to wear. This one is velvet and embellished with pearls, and it's made with generous elastic at the base of your neck so it will stretch to fit you comfortably.

A Silly Graphic Tee

Who knew that walrus's went fishing using pizza as bait? Even the kid who never wants to layer or dress warmly will like this funny graphic tee.

8

A High-Waisted Bikini Bottom

I'm always surprised by how little fabric is needed for bathing suits, and how big of a price tag they carry. Finally, you can score a high-waisted bikini bottom in a nautical stripe for less than $16. There's a matching top too, or you can mix and match with a top you already have.
