Although it's only February, it's never too early to start crafting the perfect wardrobe for spring.
If you're ready to ditch your puffer coat and boots, we suggest heading over to J.Crew as the fashion retailer just dropped their spring collection today. From transitional sweaters and stylish polos to snazzy loafers and accessories, the collection has a variety classic styles that you'll want to keep in your wardrobe for seasons on end. And if anyone knows the importance of investing in classic pieces, it's Leslie Odom Jr., the face of J.Crew's men's spring campaign.
"It's been a long-term relationship that I've had with this brand, really since I was a teenager," the award-winning singer explained. "My earliest memories with J.Crew are saving up my dough from my summer job to be able to buy a nice button down or a cool pair of penny loafers."
Recently, E! was able to catch up with Leslie to hear more about his full-circle partnership with J.Crew and the importance of taking pride in your personal style.
E!: How does it feel to be one of the faces of J.Crew's spring campaign?
LO: It feels great. The partnership has worked so well because I responded to the creative prompts that they sent my way right at the start of our conversations. We talked about music, my record collection and inspiration right from the top. We were able to really craft the campaign images to feel personal and special to me.

We promise we won't tell anyone if you wear these easy breezy pants on repeat.
E!: How would you define your personal style?
LO: I would hope that somebody would say it is classic with a twist, which is how I would describe this new season from J.Crew. The thing that I've learned along the way is that if you do adhere to a more classic style, you don't have to get rid of everything in your closet every other season because it's stuff that would have been flattering 10 years ago and it's flattering now
E!: What are your favorite pieces from the new collection?
LO: There was an updated pair of loafers and a green workmen's jacket that may have left the set with me. But I've got my eye on adding the blue suede pair to my to my permanent home collection ASAP.

E!: Are there any fashion trends you're currently loving or want to try out come spring?
LO: Coming out of this pandemic, I would like my wardrobe to match the way that I'm feeling spiritually. It's been a hard time for everybody, so I hope that we are entering into a more joyful season. I would like my clothes to match the way that I feel on the inside. So, I want some bright colors in there and to get out of the all black, grays and browns as we head into the spring.
