It was undoubtedly a pinch-me moment when J.Crew sent me four of their newest linen dresses!!!! I am already well-versed in J.Crew linen. In general, I'm a big linen fan, but I think J.Crew has some of the nicest at a great price point. I've been collecting their Baird McNutt shirts for many years!
So, I figured I would style these linen pieces and share them with you all. What surprised me most was that this first black dress was my favorite. It's incredible, and one I would have glossed over at first. Black clothing pieces can be hard to photograph because the details get lost.
This black dress has buttons from top to bottom and a placket over the top for a very seamless look. Pintick stitching from shoulder to hem creates the most flattering, long lines. It's one of those effortless dresses that can be dressed up or down, making it perfect for travel. It's also elegant in its simplicity, so even if you throw it on with sandals and no jewelry or accessories, it's stunning! I got my true size, small.
I gravitate toward this straight-style dress with the fun hem. I'm 5'6 "and don't think I'd go any shorter than this, but it's the perfect mini length. Linen is typically a summer fabric, but I think when it's done in navy blue, you can get away with wearing it in the shoulder seasons. I am wearing a size small, and it fits true to size!
White Linen Shirtdress// Tote (use code SYDNEY20)
This is very much a 'Nancy Meyers movie, stroll through the garden barefoot' type dress. It's effortless and timeless. It comes with a little slip, which I appreciate, so you can wear it as a true dress, but personally, I love this as a swimsuit cover-up. It has two side slits which keep the dress youthful. I got my true size, small, and it fits true to size but is roomy. You could size down a size!
I was hesitant about this one because I was concerned it would be too short, but I was pleasantly surprised to find it was a great mini-length. I read the reviews that mentioned it runs very small, so size up to a size 8. I am usually a 2/4 in J.Crew- every so often a 6. The size 8 fits like a typical J.Crew 4, so I'd say go up two sizes, and as the reviews state, this is not for larger busts, as there is not much give in the chest.
