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.
