Pro Tip: Make sure to check out J.Crew Men's—5 Outfits Curated by Our NYC Fashion Editors Featuring Lee x J.Crew.

      East Coast intersects with the Midwest: J.Crew has teamed up with the renowned denim brand Lee to create a capsule collection that blends J.Crew's prep heritage with Lee's classic Americana. Our editor took a closer look at the collection. Combining our current style inspirations (ahem, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy) with our inner cowgirl, we put together five stylish spring outfits. Drawing from both the men's and women's selections, we left the dressing room reminded of how underrated J.Crew Men's is. Think oversized Oxford shirts, durable denim jackets, and perfectly baggy jeans. And that's precisely what we found in the Lee X J.Crew collection. Denim was certainly a key theme. The Vintage Straight Leg stood out, while the Denim Skirt left me yearning for warmer weather, and the Men's Storm Rider Denim Jacket confirmed J.Crew Men's as a must-visit.

      Along with Eliza Huber, Who What Wear's associate editorial director, we curated five outfits that embody the spirit and ease of the Lee X J.Crew collection. Scroll down to check them out.

      **Western Shirt + Vintage Straight Jean**

      I’m wearing the Western shirt in Daffodil Oxford and the Storm Rider denim jacket from the Men's section. (A women's version is also available at a lower price.) Recently, I’ve been into a double-collar look, so I styled the Oxford shirt collar over the jacket's corduroy detail. After that, I fully embraced the Western aesthetic. Paired with the vintage straight jeans (just a heads up: you may want to size up), I tucked in the oversized button-down and used a woven leather belt to cinch my waist. I completed the cowgirl-inspired outfit with cowprint ballet flats. This isn’t typically a style I would choose, but upon stepping out of the fitting room, I received several compliments.

      "Tip: Always check the men’s section, particularly for collaborations and denim pieces! I think I actually prefer the men's items in this specific collection, and these white jeans along with the matching trucker jacket quickly became my favorites. They work great together but also pair well with almost anything, from a simple tee or tank with the jeans to a white poplin skirt with the jacket." — Eliza Huber, associate editorial director

      **Men's Denim Jacket + Denim Skirt**

      "I’ve been on the hunt for a denim pencil skirt for over six months, inspired by styles from Tom Ford's Gucci era and one I saw at Khaite's S/S 26 show. So, I was thrilled to find this classic choice in J.Crew's Lee collaboration. I adore the timeless wash and how it complements the collection’s denim jacket. I tried on the men's jacket, and I think the combination of a more feminine skirt with an oversized jacket, especially with its plaid lining, creates an appealing contrast." — Huber

      **CBK-Inspired**

      "When I was trying on this outfit, a friend from J.Crew mentioned it gave off Carolyn Bessette Kennedy vibes, so that says a lot. A classic black button-down and timeless jeans are always a winning combination. For this denim outfit, I'd recommend sizing up at least one size. This is my usual size, but I wish I had gone one or two sizes larger for a more relaxed fit." — Huber

      - J.Crew Classic Belt in Italian Leather

      **Oversize Button-Down + Rib Tank Top**

      This blue-and-white striped Oxford shirt is another fantastic find from J.Crew Men's. I'm accustomed to browsing the men's racks, where I’ve discovered some of my coziest sweaters, perfectly oversized button-downs, and best baggy jeans. They serve as great layering pieces and essential wardrobe items. As this fitting session shows, the Men's version of the collection truly shines. I paired the western shirt with a fitted rib tank top and vintage straight jeans. I agree with Eliza's recommendation on sizing; I would suggest going one or two sizes up for the ideal slim-straight look. Off-screen, I added suede driving loafers to complete the outfit. Their soft structure enhanced the relaxed vibe.
