OK, so suddenly it’s freezing. Thank heavens J.Crew has stacks and stacks of new cashmere sweaters, racks of versatile dresses and yes, some great new coats. I’m the annoying person who’s always darting over to the fireplace, wearing one layer too many and curating my cozy sock drawer like a gallery, so I really pored over customer reviews, solicited fellow PureWow staff opinions and ran my mitts all over the woolly, cottony and cuddly textures of these coats, jackets, scarves and more to come up with the best 25 J.Crew items for winter, including some on-sale items for refreshed holiday party outfits. Ahh, sherpa lining, anyone?

Top Accessory

1. J. Crew Cashmere Tech-Touch Gloves

J.Crew

“I recently discovered the only gloves I own are sport gloves for running in the cold, so I think it's high time I upgrade to something much more chic,” says PureWow Fashion Editor Abby Hepworth. “These cashmere gloves are simple but elegant, and I appreciate that the pointer finger and thumb can work on touch screens.”

J.Crew

“At this time of year, I love anything and everything with sparkles,” says PureWow Assistant Commerce Editor Natalie La Barbera, “and this boatneck top looks so versatile to pair with tons of different pants and skirts, so I know I'd get a lot of use out of it.” In bright and deep silver colorways as well as the color of the season, burgundy, this top is a layering MVP.

3. J. Crew Fair Isle Wide-Mockneck Sweater

J.Crew

I’m so into the new Fair Isle sweater trend, and loving how J.Crew has taken this classic knit design and refreshed it with cropped shapes and cool colors. This iteration is a wool blend that’s non-itchy and the wide neck is never going to give me that choking turtleneck feeling.

Fast Facts

  • Material: 49 percent merino wool, 39 percent polyamide, 7 percent lambswool, 5 percent alpaca.
  • Size range: Xxxs to xxl

Top Cotton Sweater

4. J.Crew Ribbed Cotton Turtleneck Sweater

J.Crew

Fashion Editor Abby Hepworth has fallen hard for this luxe cotton sweater, which comes in six colorways, including two striped patterns. "I really love the luxe buttons on this cotton knit. They look so fabulous and I'm especially obsessed with their placement on the inside of the placket so you can still show them off when you have the collar unbuttoned," Hepworth says. "I truly can't believe this beauty is under $100!" Not only is it regularly priced at under $100, but it's 40 percent off for J.Crew's early winter sale...so act fast.

Fast Facts

  • Materials: cotton, gold buttons
  • Size Range: XXXS to 3X

J.Crew

Want to tell someone you love them? Gift them a pair of cashmere socks. Buy a pair (or several, if you can) for yourself, too, since you’ve likely never experienced such cuddly soft warmth in such a thin sock. These cashmere, trouser-length socks come in ten colorways, including the showy leopard pattern shown here.

6. J.Crew Long Barn Jacket

J.Crew

The barn coat trend is the latest iteration of the preppy-cool tendency of streetstyle, in which unlikely workwear meets glam pieces to create a unique and creative outfit. (The frazzled English woman aesthetic is the height of this chic.) This example of the barn coat is long, comes in plaid as well as khaki, brown and black and is machine-washable.
