Why anyone would want to wear only clothes mainly from one store, I don’t know. BUT. It does make for a fun experiment, especially when it comes to showing the versatility of some classic (or even trendy-ish) pieces. Here’s five clickable outfits we mined MOSTLY from J. Crew’s congruently running Semi-Annual Suits Sale and Dressed Up Items events. Yes those are two separate promos. Two separate landing pages. And indeed, some items cross over between the two. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Note: Jacket above is the unconstructed Irish Linen in Deep Water. Watch is an ollllld out of production Hamilton Chronograph. And yes, watches usually appear larger on camera/a flat screen than they do in real life.

It's nice when a brand warns their customers in advance of raising their prices.
Spring ready sneakers, grooming goods, watches, etc. Saddle up. Amazon's spring sale is on.
New sportcoats. Italian desert boots. J. Crew dips their promo-toes into spring.
From de-scaling irons to shining shoes to smelling coat pits. Let's clean up our act.
New Seikos are on sale, and J. Crew's Suit event is expiring soon.
