Wearing Gingham in Fall & Winter – J. Crew Shirt Sale

J. Crew Point Collar Dress Shirt in Navy Gingham – $55.00 (reg. $69.50)

Similar Gingham shirts in grape, chalkboard, and rustic blue are now just $49.99

Some say Gingham is a pattern that should be limited to summer.  Not true.  Here’s a few cool weather options for what to wear either the navy or say, the less expensive chalkboard gray J. Crew Gingham shirt with:

For the Navy

• With your favorite gray suit, black laceups and a black wool tie
• Under a sweater vest with dark denim
• Under a black sweater with light gray chinos and the Florsheim Gaffney

For the Chalkboard Gray

• With the INC Corduroy Blazer, dark denim and a navy wool tie
• Under a lighter brown sweater, with a molehair blazer on top of that
• On the weekend over a t-shirt and under a blue shawl collar sweater

It’s pretty easy to pair with anything.  Plus the J. Crew “regular” fit is actually a tailored trimmer option.  So don’t be scared off by that.  Point collar, comes in small, medium, large, and XL.

Need to save a few bucks?  J. Crew’s outlet line “Factory” has a few similar, but not identical shirts.  But, you have to buy them on the weekends.
