A glimpse at J.Crew’s fall collection
While I’ve long been a high-heels-wearing girly-girl, lately there’s been moments when I’ve secretly envied the male sex. Between the possibility of being Clooney-cool and the likelihood of earning 30% more per paycheck, sometimes modern-day manhood—especially the dapper clothes that come with—can look pretty appealing.
Come September chances are that you’ll be singing the same tune, as J.Crew unveils its fall menswear line most of which, I just found out, can be categorized as Portland-ified version of boarding school classics. Hefty knit ties! Slim Cary Grant-suits! Morrissey-inspired casuals! (Oh to wear those sharp styles and not be viewed as an Annie Hall copy-cat!) Best of all though, these affordable high-end finds will be available online and at J.C.’s soon-to-be opened Tribeca outpost—which will no doubt attract dozens of Wall Streeters who want bespoke-looking pieces at recession-friendly prices.
Of course, if the tomboy look doesn’t appeal to your ladylike sensibility, there’ll be plenty of sexy secretary pieces in the womens collection to choose from too. Just the sight of the floral-accented cardies and sleek pencil skirts cured my wardrobe-envy and reminded me how much (in the words of Rodgers & Hammerstein) I enjoy being a girl.
