Christopher John Rogers X J.Crew Collab

Designer collabs are one of our favorite retail trends: the pieces are affordable, the designs feel special because they’re limited-edition, and the items become a mainstay in our wardrobes for years to come. But not all partnerships are created equal: there has to be synergy between the retailer and designer for it to really sing. Christopher John Rogers and J.Crew’s new collab, which launches Oct. 23, is arguably the best of the best. Not only is there a history between the labels — CJR worked as a sales associate at the retailer growing up — but the brands both have an affinity for vibrant colors, structured silhouettes, and playful separates, all with an air of sophistication and ease.

The new collab embodies that shared brand ethos with cashmere knits, colorful striped dresses, and trendy barn jackets — all available in sizes XXS to 3X. There’s a navy sequin pleated dress that’s perfect for any holiday event on your calendar as well as a red vinyl top coat that will garner compliments every time you wear it. It has all of the charm and whimsy of Christopher John Rogers’s eponymous line, but for an affordable price point ranging from $50 for a tote bag to $550 for a herringbone boucle top coat. The collab also features children’s items for Crewcuts, including Rogers’s signature multistripe print on a stretch taffeta dress and a brushed cashmere matching sweater-and-skirt set.
