J.Crew Marks Down the Cashmere Just as the Weather Turns

J.Crew has opened a seasonal sale, and the timing matters more than the markdown. The pieces on offer include soft cashmere knits and crisp collared shirts, the backbone of an autumn wardrobe. That's what you reach for when the first cool evening arrives in Aspen or the Hamptons empties out for the season. It's a sensible moment to restock the quiet basics that do most of the work from now until spring.
