J.Crew’s new Ludlow Shop at 50 Hudson opened today to the delight of suit-wearing men and suit-admiring women everywhere. Check out details here!

As of yesterday, May 10th, menswear shopping site MR PORTER added J. Crew to its vast selection of menswear offerings. From knitted silk ties to jersey pullover sweaters, the collection is the epitome of the preppy yet cool style that J. Crew has perfected.

While women swoon over J. Crew’s cardigans, layered, embellished hardware necklaces and classic coats, the menswear is often overlooked. Usually delegated to the back (or lower level) of most J. Crew stores, the preppy-infused modern men’s looks have finally found their own home at 1040 Madison Avenue. This is the fourth Men’s Shop for J. Crew, but undoubtedly its most expansive. At this Upper East Side outpost, men can revel in all the classic suiting, cargo jackets and Italian leather shoes they want, in surroundings inspired by a Swiss Alps farm house (think: pine planks and carved moldings made from reclaimed wood).

Now that we’re finally crossing over into summer, it’s time to break out lightweight, comfortable sneakers for long days of walking through hot city streets. Outdoorsy company Tretorn has teamed up with two rather different brands—J Crew and Comme des Garcons—to bring out two different lines of mens and womens sneakers. Meanwhile, the ultimate casual sneaker company, Keds, is churning out a style inspired by different decades each month.

J. Crew has always been known for their classic, feminine style. Now they have proven that opposites not only attract, but also mesh with the arrival of the Fenton/Fallon jewelry line. This month, J. Crew suggests you add some edge to your sweater set.

Thanks to their heavily styled, exquisitely lighted, smart-copied catalogs, J. Crew is now the king of retail fashion. The updated prep behemoth unveiled their Fall 2010 menswear this week at New York’s MILK Studios on an open-air terrace. Invite yourself to a sneak peek of the tailored classics—and the somewhat attractive male models.

Finding a stylish yet durable watch is of the utmost importance to the precise, timely customer. Now Timex has paired up with J Crew to create a vintage-inspired time-piece modeled after 1940s military watches—combining J Crew’s classicism with Timex’s functionality.
