The classics are always in style, and nobody makes this more apparent than J. Press on Madison Avenue. J. Press is more than a century old, but it's aesthetic has hardly changed in that time. It still offers all the old standards in traditional American menswear--repp stripe, emblematic, club, and knit ties; a healthy variety of button down dress shirts; sack suits, blazers, and tweed sport coats; flannel trousers and chinos, etc. J. Press has kept its traditionally roomy not baggy fits too--not the slim and trim designer re-incarnations of traditional style. Despite it's adherence to tradition, J. Press looks still look fresh and smart, despite and perhaps because of it's simplicity. It's a good reminder that style doesn't come from doing too much.
Take a look at what well chosen basics can do--blue pinpoint oxford button down, regimental stripe tie, gray worsted 3 rolled to 2 button suit, and a white linen pocket square. No need to reinvent the wheel.
Summer wedding or garden party? No problem. Substitute a gray worsted for a summer weight cream suit and I'd be ready to go. It's hard to get more versatile and stylish than a button down and regimental tie.

J. Press. But I recommend ducking into one of their stores sometime to get the full effect.
