End-of-summer markdowns include transitional sweaters, shorts, and shoes at 40% off with code SHOPSALE.

J.Crew's end-of-season sales rank among the most substantial in retail, and the current end-of-summer promotions follow that pattern. Shoppers can apply an additional 40% discount to already-reduced merchandise using the code SHOPSALE.

While summer inventory dominates the sale section, numerous pieces transition effectively into autumn wardrobes. The selection below features sweaters, shorts, footwear, and other items marked down significantly from original prices. Combined, these 18 pieces represent more than $1,300 in savings off retail.

Standouts include an $18 basic described as an essential, plus tweed tap shorts and longer lace-trim shorts. Several color trends emerge: one piece appears in the shade of the season, another in what the source calls "the other color of the season." A red tee and retro-striped tee also make the list, alongside a polo shirt reflecting a trend the source says "isn't going anywhere."

Footwear options include shoes recommended for "more elegant outfits" and a style the writer suggests pairing with "a black, brown, or cream sweater and flat mules or high-vamp ballet flats" for fall. Lightweight sweaters suit this transitional period, and one piece specifically pairs with a leather jacket for extended seasonal wear.

The writer notes personal experience with one item, stating, "I own this and can confirm it's worth every penny, even at full price." Another piece earns praise as "as timeless as it gets," while reviews for a separate item "seem to confirm that it is, in fact, perfect."

Accessories include a piece the writer considers "so much cooler than if it were on a metal chain." With inventory moving quickly, these fall-friendly finds may not remain available for long.
