Weekly Share: Other JCrew-like Retailers

This is the weekly "Other JCrew-like Retailers" post (similar to the "Off On A Tangent" posts), where we can share our finds from other retailers that have offerings similar to J.Crew (like Anthropologie, LE Canvas, Gap, BR, Talbots, Ann Taylor, and the like.)

If you have recently encountered items that are similar to J.Crew, maybe you might be willing to share that information with us in this post.

Please feel free to share your story on almost any topic— including experiences with certain merchandise pieces, promotions/ offers, in-store visits, transactions with store associates, etc.

  1. I ordered these shorts from Loft and they are super cute:

    They fit the same on me as the 4 in chino shorts but seemed just a touch longer.

    1. Lauren - Those look cute. I don't see store search availability so they must be online only. I love the lace riviera shorts, which have a similar cut. Reviewed in this post.

  2. COS ( top H&M group line) should be online anyday( USA customers) and it is also worth to give a look to MASSIMO DUTTI ( top ZARA group line) .
    I live in Europe and buy a lot from them. Sales are normally twice a year ( 2 more mid season for COS).
    Have fun!

    1. There is a promo code for COS for 25%. I believe it is HELLOAMERICA. Lots of cute stuff there. :)

    2. Of course I can't actually view individual pages, only the menu pages. Sigh. Found out about the code from a British friend who lives in America. Will ask her if she has had any luck getting the site to load properly.

    3. I placed an order, Dina. Had to use IE from my PC. And HelloAmerica worked.

  3. Hope everyone is doing well.

    Managed to write up one of the picks posts for the Fall 2014 Boden collection (from the dresses, pants, skirts, and tunics categories). I should push out a couple more picks posts on the other categories over the next week.

    I published some of the Press Images from last week's Press day in London for the fall and winter collection and commented in the last weekly "J. Crew like retailers" post, but will put the link here just in case you missed it .

  4. Thanks to Alexis and all the JCA's who mentioned the Kate Spade Saturday line. I just looked at the site and I love it! Very fresh, modern and sculptural. And the models are so pretty - much more urban and cool than the J Crew signature depressed suburban look. (You can just imagine them thinking "I hate my life - maybe I should buy another pair of Uggs")

    There's a Saturday store not too far from my office so I'm going to check it out.

  6. Psst! Anyone else interested in the Banana Republic x Marimekko collaboration? I just placed my order?

    It's not supposed to launch 5/22, but links to items are live now via Lyst.
