My husband didn't particularly have many items from J.Crew (nor did he care to, to be honest) before he met me. He is a JoS. A. Banks (work)/ the Gap (leisure) kind of guy. Moreover, he is a picky clothes wearer- he only likes to wear fabrics that he feels comfortable in. (While I, on the other hand, will gladly wear an itchy wool sweater in the Summer if it makes me look good.)However, after meeting me he has several pieces from J.Crew. In particular, he really likes the quality of the "washed favorite shirts" for leisure wear because it offers him more comfort (e.g. softness) than a regular shirt, but still the classic look of a shirt. He "dresses up" the washed favorite shirts with khakis or dresses them down with jeans. He also likes the classic polos (but practically all men in the U.S. like polos!)
The only complaint I have with J.Crew men's clothing & accessories is that I notice their shoes tend to run large. I bought a pair that were "final sale" and they were way larger than the size they indicated. {The men also get the better deals in the sale section... This makes me a little jealous of course!}
I also find that when I go out shopping at J.Crew I tend to browse the men's section: Not only to see what I can buy for my husband, but to see what I can get for myself as well. (There are lots of accessories that are intended for men that I like for me: like the belts and messenger bags.)
What do you think of the men's line at J.Crew? What are some of your favorite men's pieces? Any advice for those selecting men's clothes in terms of fit/style?
