Today marks an exciting moment in the world of fashion, as J.Crew teams up with none other than the creative genius Christopher John Rogers for an exclusive collection. Known for his vibrant colors, dynamic patterns, and bold silhouettes, Rogers brings his unmistakable flair to the classic American brand. But here’s the part that has us buzzing with excitement: this Christopher John Rogers x J.Crew Collection *includes* plus sizes! That’s right—select pieces go up to a size 24 or 3X, and we couldn’t be more thrilled.
This groundbreaking collaboration is a fusion of classic J.Crew staples with Rogers’ avant-garde, maximalist touch. From rich, jewel-toned hues to oversized, statement-making shapes, the collection screams creativity, joy, and above all—accessibility.
J.Crew’s website sets the tone perfectly with a glowing statement: “Prepare to feel inspired, seen, and celebrated with this exclusive collection designed by Christopher John Rogers. From work to play, these pieces are made to shine in every setting.” And let’s face it, it’s about time that everyone, including those of us who wear sizes beyond a 14, gets the opportunity to shine!
The Christopher John Rogers x J.Crew Collection Celebrates Individuality
“My brand is about providing people with the tools to express themselves through color, through print, through volume. Both J.Crew and CJR are carving out this liminal space between something really declarative and high octane and something ostensibly wearable. I think that’s why the collaboration felt so easy and fun—because it just felt natural.”
Christopher John Rogers
Christopher John Rogers is no stranger to making headlines. The CFDA Award-winning designer has dressed some of the biggest names in Hollywood and now, he’s bringing his distinct, show-stopping style to the masses.
The Christopher John Rogers x J.Crew Collection is all about bold self-expression, and it’s clear from the collection’s landing page that Rogers wanted this line to cater to a wide audience. He shares, “I was excited to reimagine classic American staples with my signature use of vibrant color and luxurious details, all while keeping the accessibility J.Crew is known for.”
The collection’s key pieces include everything from statement-making blazers in a bold gold finish to playful skirts, sweaters, and suiting. Rogers took the idea of “classics” and turned it on its head—think bold stripes, lively florals, and exaggerated tailoring. His work, known for embracing joy, self-expression, and empowerment, is meant to uplift the wearer, and it does just that.
One of the standout pieces is a dazzling red vinyl bustier and matching midi skirt that’s sure to turn heads, along with the various voluminous skirts that bring the drama—whether you’re in the boardroom or on the town. These looks aren’t just made to wear—they’re made to make a statement.
The Exciting Plus Size Inclusion of The Christopher John Rogers x J.Crew Collection
What’s perhaps even more exhilarating than the impeccable designs themselves is the fact that the Christopher John Rogers x J.Crew Collection includes extended sizing. In select pieces, sizes go up to a 3X or a size 24, a rare and welcomed sight from a brand like J.Crew. As a brand that historically hasn’t been size-inclusive, this marks a curious step forward, especially in a world where plus size fashion still struggles to find adequate representation at the forefront of such major collaborations.
“J.Crew is thrilled to bring this partnership to all of our customers, offering pieces up to a size 24 for the first time in a designer collaboration,” the brand’s announcement shares. That kind of inclusion is bound to resonate deeply within the plus size community. And to help you out, we have rounded up our favorite pieces from the collection that are available in plus sizes!

Fashionista perfectly sums up this excitement: “Rogers ensured that the vibrant, joyful spirit of his mainline carried over to this accessible collaboration, in both aesthetic and size inclusivity.” While the collection does not extend to every piece being plus size, the fact that we’re seeing high-fashion, artistic designs available in sizes larger than a 14 is something to raise an eyebrow at.
A Playful Take on American Staples
This collaboration feels like a joyful rebellion against the idea of “basic.” Rogers breathes life into the staple pieces J.Crew is known for while giving us something unexpected, imaginative, and fun. Even the campaign imagery is filled with energy and movement, featuring a cast of diverse models in a range of sizes, showcasing the collection’s dynamic feel.
The inspiration behind this line? Rogers has said he was looking at the intersection of luxury and accessibility, which is essentially the sweet spot for J.Crew. Think of it as high-fashion fantasy, grounded in the everyday. His goal was to create pieces that feel like luxury but could still be worn day-to-day. In his own words: “I want these pieces to feel special and unique but still effortless enough to be worn anytime, anywhere.”
Why This Matters
For us plus size shoppers, this collection feels like a breath of fresh air. The inclusion of plus sizes—while still limited—is interesting progress in an industry that often overlooks the plus size community. And to have those sizes come from a designer like Christopher John Rogers? That’s the fashion world taking notice, and we hope it’s just the beginning of even more inclusion in future collaborations.
The only thing that is missing is the plus size models in these pieces to get a better perspective of how the Christopher John Rogers x J.Crew Collection will suit our curves, especially that vinyl set.
