As you may know by now, Jenna Lyons, president and creative director of J.Crew, is leaving her post after 26 years of sartorial service.
Her love of casual statement necklaces, mix-and-match style, and modern prep styles will not go unremembered. Nor will her unwavering commitment to daring trends be easily forgotten. Nor will, let’s face it, the fact that we might never live up to her towering persona. (And I mean this quite literally — Lyons is a proud six feet tall!)
To commemorate a visionary who reshaped a brand and dressed the First Lady, College Fashion rounded up a list of 26 J.Crew products we’ve long been lusting after. Be sure to snatch up the best deals while they’re still here!

Don’t shy away from sporting vivid colors this season! Products 11 to 18 are nothing but hot, hot, hot. While we suggest pairing any of these items with neutrals to balance them out, you can also go the way of Jenna Lyons and orchestrate a clever combination of fierce prints. The sky’s the limit.
