There's something about a shawl-collar that makes us want to curl into the wearer and recite Shakespeare whilst cupping a glass of fine brandy by the roaring fire. And maybe that's why J.Crew's Ludlow shawl-collar tuxedo dinner jacket is getting us hot around the collar. The double-vent, Italian wool number has a distinctly modern feel, but recalls an era of Sinatra, Bond and Lang (yes, we just threw K.D. in that lot). Black or navy. $525. #50676 jcrew.com —Kirsten Ott Palladino
