Key Departments

Bridal

J. Crew’s wedding collection comes in materials like satin and silk tricotine and are great for low-key affairs or beach weddings. The designs come with a standard seam allowance of one-half inch (which can be let out slightly), and brides can order extra yardage at no charge. Alterations not included. Tailoring is done off-site.

Bridesmaids

Wedding color schemes are made easy with this store’s tasteful bridesmaid options. Current keepers include the vampy halter Gracie ($150), the chiffon floor-length Arabelle ($350), and the silk-taffeta Lorelei ($130).

Men's Formalwear

J.Crew has plenty to wear to work and to weddings. They have limited options for tuxedos (available online only), but with a tuxedo jacket, pants, and a black satin cummerbund, this retailer is an excellent option for inexpensive groomswear.
