Welcome to J.Crew! I consider myself pretty new myself (4-6 months now?) and have a Lady Day Coat. I debated between both the Lady and Metro styles, and chose the Lady for it's A-line silhouette back in January. I have worn it on a trip to DC and a few times since at home, and can say that style-wise, I like it much better when buttoned up. However, since I live in Texas, I don't get many chances to button it.
IMHO, think about how you would wear it and where you live - what kind of silhouette do you want? Sometimes I wish I had bought the Metro coat for more a slim silhouette when the worn open, but I love the color of my Lady Day in Vibrant Flame. If you're luck to live in a cold climate that would warrant more than one coat, I would get both
HTH!

thanks for your reply. I actually got both, but the metro coat I bought is a regular size, so it is a bit long for me (wish I had bought the petite size, I am only 5'3). I kinda like the Lady day coat a bit more, but I am keeping both (the metro coat is a final sale item anyway).
Hi everyone. I'm new here and absolutely love JCrew. I do a lot of shopping online. I'm looking to shop in store today for an interview outfit. Can anyone advise me on whether there are better selection/prices at the factory store vs. the regular store? I'm hoping to put together a jacket skirt combo with a layered sweater over a button down.
Depends on your location, some full price stores only have a couple suiting choices.
For a button down and a merino sweater, I would go to the outlet b/c of the pricing.
Check what suiting is made of - wool is higher quality than polyester, don't find yourself paying the same price for a poly suit at the outlet as what they're asking for a wool suit at full price.
Good evening, I am interested in buying a pair of Etta pumps from J.Crew and was wondering how they fit? I usually wear an 8 1/2 or 9 in shoes and I am trying to decide what size to get. I wear a size 9 in the Cece flats. Any help in the sizing or advice about these shoes would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
i have the etta cap toe pumps and i found them to be TTS to my j.crew and usual shoe size. HTH!
Do J. Crew cashmere knits run big to size, too? I'm normally a XXS, but I have been working out lately and my back has become wider, so I'm considering XS. But if they run big, maybe XXS still would do. TIA for your reply
Gonna reply to myself here. The sizing was correct, I took the XS. But the quality, oh, the quality. I had been reading here that their cashmere isn't the greatest, but I really could not fathom that I'd receive a knit that feels like cotton, it's so thin, and has a torn seam. I will try to repair it myself, there's no point in returning it from Europe to the US. But I will never buy J Crew cashmere again, that's for sure.
I stopped buying the cashmere but thought the merino was still ok. Nope, my merino boyfriend sweater fell apart the first time I wore it. I am completely off of J Crew except for a few select items.
For the skirt size you indicated for reference, is that J. Crew sizing?
I have two pairs of the Cafe Capris in wool and there is some serious vanity sizing going on. I usually wear a 26-27 in jeans (SFAM, J Brand), and I had to get a size 2 for the Cafe Capris for them to fit nicely (not skin tight) without a belt.
Don't know how different it is for other fabrics.
