Why it might work
  • A shared threadWoody and sweet run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put J.Crew No. 31 in fall and Jardin de L'Orangerie in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: J.Crew No. 31 is very weak and enormous, Jardin de L'Orangerie moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
