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.

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

Gwyneth Pleated Skirt
J.Crew
The Gwyneth Pleated Skirt isn’t just great for fall; it’s versatile enough to wear year-round.

The pleated lines add a playful element, making it a standout piece.

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.
