In the most recent quarter, same-store sales fell 8% following a decrease of 11% in the third quarter of last year.

It has also axed its popular bridal line and recently launched an athleisure line with New Balance.

But some analysts aren't optimistic that the company can recover.

We visited J. Crew's website and found some glaring fashion misses and deep discounts that make a turnaround seem less and less likely.
