J. Crew

Come May 22, you can shop three J.Crew-exclusive collections, courtesy of 2012 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund winner Greg Chait, of The Elder Statesman, and runners-up Tabitha Simmons and Jennifer Meyer. This latest collaboration trifecta marks the third year in a row that J.Crew and the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund have teamed up to show off an emerging lineup of American designers, and to celebrate the trend, shoppers are getting a little treat. Starting May 8, you can sign up on jcrew.com to receive a link to snag the limited-edition collections on May 21 — a whole day earlier. In the meantime, here's your first look at the respective collections.

If you were under the impression that there was only one style of denim shirt to own, it's time to think again. We've been loyal to the humble chambray version for a few years now, thanks to the resurgence of 90s style creeping back into our wardrobes, but this closet staple now comes in a few variations which can totally transform your look, and styling prowess. Not limited to the simple powers of double denim, a denim shirt can look classic when worn with crisp white, casual when worn oversized or layered, sexy when worn fitted, and office-appropriate when mixed with tailored separates. What can we say? She works hard for the money. Step inside our gallery to get updated.

With a CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund win behind him and a slew of covetable runway collections both for his namesake line and his Cut25 label, we knew when Joseph Altuzarra announced plans for a collaboration with J.Crew it would be good. To be fair, it's really good — and we're only a day short of shopping the collection for ourselves. Yesterday, we gave you a taste, but now we've got the entire collaboration for your perusal right here. Drawing on Brigitte Bardot in Saint-Tropez, Altuzarra delivers a seven-piece collection made up of gingham printed dresses and button-downs, a polished play on espadrilles, and staple striped knits. The line is available for sale on the US site as of later today, so we'll be keeping our eyes peeled (here, to be precise) to see if these standout pieces will be shipped down under. Here's hoping!

J.Crew just released its March catalogue, shot in the picturesque mountains of Uruguay, supplying us with cute colour combo inspiration and covetable separates. As expected, the looks are perfectly styled, showcasing green sequinned skirts with purple cotton shirts, bright yellow shorts with cobalt-blue toppers, and our favourite look, silk printed trousers paired with an effortless denim button-up. Accessories featured an array of two-tone leather satchels and cute woven sandals, and if a warm vacation is set in your future, check out J.Crew's collection of sweet vintage-inspired swimwear. Read below for styling tips we culled from the collection, then peruse the slideshow to see the rest of the look book.

• Do invest in a pair of printed trousers. Dress it up with heels and a silk blouse for an evening out, or downplay the print with a white tee and oxfords for a more casual effect.
• Combine solid bright separates together, like a green skirt with an orange shirt, to create a simple yet standout look.
• We love feminine pencil skirts. Style it up with a denim button-up shirt and platform sandals for a chic office-appropriate ensemble.

Just like its sister store J.Crew, US label Madewell features a collection of looks to love.
