Event Recap: J.Crew Opening at Pacific Centre

With seasonal clutch and camera in hand, we made our way downtown and into the stunning new space and found a party already in full swing.

We were immediately greeted with a glass of bubbles before making our way around to check out the latest colourful options on offer from this classic US-based brand. Helpful J.Crew staff was on hand to offer tips and insight, pointing out a selection of signature pieces from the season’s collection, as well as go-to staples perfect for sprucing up our young professional look.

Trends we spotted: lots of colour, fun prints and hints of metallic abound for summer. We’re talking about nautical themed embroidered accents; a selection of flats and low wedges guaranteed to light up the room; and strappy heels that will add an undeniable punch of colour to any summer outfit. Couple this with plenty of flirty prints on everything from skirts to shorts and cropped blazers, and you’ve nailed the seasonal theme.

Looks we loved: scarves, scarves and more scarves. They’re always a great accent to any outfit, and J.Crew has sourced some exquisite prints to choose from (that don’t break the bank).

We also loved their cropped jeans, bright button-up dresses (in coral and dark hydrangea), Tippi Whale Sweater (see it here), glittery costume accessories (perfect for adding a hint of bling to any outfit) and schoolboy blazer selection.

J

All told, it was a great soiree that provided ample opportunity to mingle with our city’s fashionable young professionals while squeezing in a bit of style-spotting on the side. Let’s just say this: our summer lookbook is fully decked out, and (dare we say) we’ve already got a few key items in mind for autumn’s cooler temps.
