Have you ever wanted to know the secret to dressing well? J.Crew has the answer. The retailer focuses on timeless style and classic simplicity. You can also find a nice assortment of colors and patterns, and J.Crew sees no problem with pairing sneakers with suits, wing tips with jeans, and chambray on chambray. Plus, if J.Crew is good enough for the first family — the President wore a J.Crew bow tie to the 2009 Inaugural Ball, the First Lady wore J.Crew gloves at the Inaugural ceremony, and the girls wore head-to-toe J.Crew — then it’s good enough for you.
We’ve put together some of favorite outfit mixes from J.Crew, which will keep you stylish and looking good.

Spice up your casual sweater-pant combo with a little bit of color. Since it’s going to be sweater weather for a while, you really can’t go wrong with one made from lambswool — always soft and warm, and when it’s paired with wool trousers and a pair of sneakers, it’s a winning casual combination. Think if it as a modern take on traditional fair.
The look:
- Lambswool Fair Isle Sweater, Navy
- Long-Sleeve Garment-Dyed T-Shirt, White
- Pleated Trouser in Black and White Tweed
- Vans SK8-HI Leather Sneakers, White
