The Marketing Genius that is J.Crew

Oh, the marketing team at J.Crew is at it again... this time replacing cutie celebrities with cuties on their own payroll. That's right. Allow me to introduce the men behind the lens. In a series entitled The Highlight Reel, J.Crew's website currently features a selection of their photographers modeling spring menswear. With their disheveled hair, requisite facial scruff, and charming smirks, Mark, Justin, Jason, and Stephan will have girlfriends, wives, and boyfriends around the country trying to replicate this dapper-yet-cool look on their own men. And they will fail. Because let's face it. Their men are not J.Crew photographers. Which I just decided might be one of the sexier jobs out there.

So for the non-creative but really sweet yet fashion clueless man in your life, I recommend a few basics to get him through the warmer weekends ahead.

The mens clothing at jcrew has gotten so much cuter. So cute in fact, that I ordered a few of their tops in extra small for myself... they actually fit really nicely!
