J. Crew At The Oscars

— Mon, 8th March 2010 —

We had no plans to cover the Academy Awards, really, but it’s worth noting that Geoffrey Fletcher accepted the Oscar for best adapted screenplay — and then made the best speech of the night — in a $500 “Ludlow” Tux from J. Crew. (See the Ludlow in action here.) This is the menswear equivalent of Michelle Obama wearing Crew on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.” Also, readers regularly inquire about stylish and affordable formal attire. Take a cue from this Crew coup. [Racked National]
