J.Crew Fall Fashion for Less!

I can feel fall coming! Can you? Last week when I was window shopping at my local outlet mall for back to school items I kept seeing the SAME items: similar colors, similar styles… J.Crew Factory, Old Navy, Ann Taylor Outlet, LOFT and H&M are all in the same little section so I went around to all of them scoping out the availability for last week’s post. Seeing the patterns between each store gave me a heads up to what colors and styles are going to be popular this fall. Since J.Crew and J.Crew Factory tend to particularly set the trends for fall and winter style, it wasn’t surprising to me that what I found there was replicated in the other stores I went to. Here’s my guide to fall fashion and where to go to get it for less!

Cargo Pants/Skinnies

Cargo Pants were a big deal last year and they are popular in stores right now. However, because they’re so popular, if you want them, buy now! Last year I waited and all the affordable pairs in my style were out of stock. So, this year when I found a pair I liked (these from H&M) I snatched them up! I do recommending trying on a few to get a feel for what style of ankle and back you like. I included the pictures of the pockets for each pair (though the colors may not match the ones I featured) because some people prefer certain pocket styles over others.

J.Crew // H&M may have to find in store (also have these, though I found them a little less comfortable)

J.Crew (limited quantities online and on sale!) // J.Crew (also in Tall and Petite!) // Old Navy // LOFT

Cargo Jacket

These were one of my biggest surprises in stores. First of all, the Old Navy and H&M options in the second column look so great in person and are SO similar to their more expensive options. The Old Navy one ran a little big on me and the H&M option at the bottom (and the one I’m going to buy) I found in store but the only link I could find for it online was through H&M Canada and not able to be ordered online. Still, if you have an H&M nearby you should definitely check it out!

Maroon Ankle Pants

I saw these in J.Crew and then walked across the way and saw them in Old Navy! Maroon has been a popular fall color for the last few years.

Plum Ankle Pants

Now, plum is a color I haven’t seen a lot. I bought a pair from J.C.Penney (still on sale!) a few weeks ago for work and then saw the color all over. Below are a few options.

J.Crew Factory // LOFT // LOFT // Old Navy (SO similar to J.Crew Factory version and on sale!)

From left to right below, H&M Cargo Jacket, Old Navy Cargo Jacket and Pixie Pants, and finally, another pattern I saw in a few stores, this great skirt! (LOFT option here)

That’s my first rundown of the season for fall fashion and I definitely didn’t cover every store that has affordable alternatives. But now you know what to look for! So let me know! Where did you find a great J.Crew Cargo or colored pant look-alike?

Thanks so much for stopping by!
