J.Crew Keeps It Classy

J.Crew has found a style that works for them, and they have stuck to it, which brings to mind the saying, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Now, that mantra doesn’t always fit into the ever-changing world of fashion, but the designers at J.Crew have found a way to make the classical Upper East Side look timeless.

Dark colors and simple patterns that are accented in some looks by color blocking adds something of a contemporary edge to looks that could easily be deemed as too safe. It’s clean and conservative, but versatile. This collection is the perfect starting point for an aspiring fashionisto who is eager to break a few rules, but not quite ready to burst completely out of the fashion closet. These Nate Archibald-esque looks are appropriate for school, work, hanging out, and everything in between.

J. Crew Fall 2012 is definitely the direction to go when you just want to keep it classy.
