25% off J. Crew Sweaters – How to make the most of it

J. Crew Sweater Sale – Gift Picks for Him, Her, and You.

Use code SHIP150 for free shipping when you spend $150 or more

Is giving a sweater as a Christmas present cliche?  A bit.  But what if it’s an awesome sweater that the recipient will count as one of their favorites for years to come?

J. Crew does a fine job in the sweater department.  They’re running a 25% off sale that ends today, and you can get those sweaters shipped free if you spend more than $150 (which is a lot) and use the code SHIP150.  That code is good through December 20th, but the sweater sale only lasts till 11:59 PM ET tonight.  Here’s a couple of picks to package up so you can get the free shipping.
.

For Him:  Fine Lambswool Mock Neck Cardigan – $73.50 (reg. $98)

The traditional style of a cardigan is nice, but it’s a high mock neck version like this that he’ll reach for over and over again.  He can wear this thing just about however and wherever he wants.  It leans a little casual but it can still do some dressed up duty with chinos.  Not all guys like v-necks.  Not all guys like traditional cardigans.  This is the answer for the “it’s cold, I need something warm, what should I wear?” question.  Layer it under a standard collar fall jacket if you’re headed somewhere that would otherwise require you to get your peacoat or topcoat dirty.
.

For Her: Cable Ribbed Turtle Neck or Chalet Shawl Collar – $73.50 (reg. $98)

There’s hardly anything better than a great looking woman in a well fitting sweater.  Let her pick out the sweaters with embellishments.  You should stick with the classics.  Like a turtleneck or a modified shawl collar.  If you really want to get spendy, J. Crew makes a cashmere turtleneck that’ll be all soft and no itch.  Save the receipt because buying clothes for a woman isn’t the easiest size/color/style code to crack.
.

For You:  Heavy Cotton Shawl Collar Cardigan – $88.50 (reg. $118)

I know, another cardigan… but you can get your standard V-necks and crewnecks for a bit less (even on sale) at other places.  It’s this substantial black cotton cardigan with the leather (or leather like?) buttons that’ll be hard to find anywhere else.  It’s almost a dead ringer for the style Daniel Craig wore in Quantum of Solace when he goes and looks up Mathis for help.  His sweater might be shaker wool, but a thick cotton will work deeper into the spring.  Slimmer shawl collar on the J. Crew version too.  Hard to say you can improve on 007’s style, but… this one does.
