Sometimes it’s good to look at a few suggestions then add your own tweaks and ideas. That’s what these are for. This is about as wheelhouse as it gets for this site. Not just the outfit, but the occasion as well. Meeting up with someone attractive to down a couple of craft beers and good food? Who wouldn’t want that? Plus, it’s the perfect time of year for ducking into a neighborhood pub that’s anything but a dive, and instead has good food and a great atmosphere. [Style Scenario: Fall Gastro Pub Date | Dappered.com] The Sportcoat: [J.Crew Ludlow Blazer in Herringbone English Tweed – $298]( Lightly constructed but still sharp, this is the perfect fall sportcoat to wear with jeans. Will go on sale eventually, but has yet to this season. NOTE: Say you’re a younger fella. College aged or so. If you’re gonna feel a bit… stuffy in a sportcoat? That’s completely understandable. Switch that sucker out for a [lightweight merino v-neck]( or cardigan. Just make sure it’s lightweight so you’re not sweating buckets inside. The Shirt: [Nordstrom Smartcare in Light Blue – $55]( Or, whatever your favorite light blue dress shirt happens to be. I’d go with a poplin though. Skip the heavier fabrics like oxford cloth. The Coat: [Target Goodfellow & Co. Wool Blend Topcoat in Camel – $79.99]( Lots of class on a budget. 66% wool, 27% poly, 5% acrylic, 2% other. The Belt: [Target Goodfellow & Co. Suede Belt – $19.99]( While we’re digging around at Target, why not a basic, dark brown suede belt to add a little fall texture? The Watch: [Timex Expedition Scout Chrono – $60.45](. Because if the date is going poorly, it’s much easier to quietly glance at your watch than rip out your phone to check the time. But here’s to hoping that doesn’t happen. The Socks: [Nordstrom Merino Blend Over the Calf in Navy – $14.50](. Slim, durable, and great at keeping your feet comfortable. That, and since they’re over the calf they won’t slouch down as the day wears on. The Boots: [Aston Grey Wingtip Boot – $119]( Sure, the JC Penney option is cheaper (or, [are the deacons discontinued?!]( but every time those get mentioned we get emails about how the quality has taken a turn for the worse. Aston Grey is a DSW brand that has yet to let me down in terms of quality, and looks great on a budget. Will go on sale from time to time. The Jeans: [Old Navy Slim Built-In Flex 360° Jeans – $43.99](//oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=55506&pcid=5199&vid=1&pid=829775012) w/ SWEET. Basically Old Navy’s version of big brother BR’s rapid movement / traveler denim options. 89% cotton, 8% polyester, 3% spandex. The Entertainment: Darts or Bar Shuffleboard. Something pretty cool happens when you’re just distracted enough by a game… you open up and relax. And the same goes for your date. So grab a few pints and start throwing darts. ff/Dappered?a=uU_l9go7LGI:HGv7d8y1DUM:yIl2AUoC8zA ff/Dappered?a=uU_l9go7LGI:HGv7d8y1DUM:qj6IDK7rITs ff/Dappered?a=uU_l9go7LGI:HGv7d8y1DUM:gIN9vFwOqvQ [Style Scenario: Spending Halloween at Home](r/Dappered/~3/A22qOaSnj0M/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email) Posted: 24 Oct 2017 02:00 PM PDT What are you going to wear? Sometimes it’s good to look at a few suggestions then add your own tweaks and ideas. That’s what these are for. A good majority of you will be spending Halloween at home, and you’ll want to be comfortable as you laugh at the poor schmucks slogging around in the cold for a few pieces of candy. If you decide to hand out candy, these easy layers will keep you warm while you open the door multiple times. The Sweater: [J.Crew Factory]( Cotton Seedstitch Cardigan – $44.50]( 100% cotton. Great reviews. A stylish hoodie alternative that will be easy to throw on when answering the door for trick or treaters. Half off and ships free, through today, 10/24/ The Henley: [Target’s Goodfellow & Co Long Sleeve Henley in Grey – $14.99](//goto.target.com/c/94385/81938/2092?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.target.com%2Fp%2Fmen-s-standard-fit-long-sleeve-henley-t-shirt-goodfellow-co-153%2F-%2FA-52527317%23lnk%3Dsametab%26preselect%3D52341806). Cheap and comfortable. A basic layer, with lots of color options, and easy to get your hands on. The Belt: [Gap Classic Suede Belt – $39.95](//www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=5135&pcid=5300&vid=1&pid=906683002). Or, whatever preferred casual belt you happen to have on hand. The Pants: [Banana Republic Mason Tapered Rapid Movement Chino in Charcoal – $98](//bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=1086241&pcid=35878&vid=1&pid=876745032). The same chinos from today’s How to Wear it post, but in another versatile fall color, charcoal. These will be comfortable enough when you have to get up off the couch multiple times to answer your door. The Beverage: [North Coast Brewing Old Rasputin Imperial Stout]( Spendy, since it’s an imperial and comes in four packs, but it’s a legend for a reason. 75 IBUs so there’s a bit of hops in there too. Perfect for a cold, fall evening. The Watch: [Seiko SNZG15 Automatic – $146.44](as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B006I22GT2&linkCode=as2&tag=dappered-20&linkId=VS7IBZGLRYWFR3AG). Inexpensive, durable, automatic, and a nicely sized casual diameter of 42mm. 100m water resistance, so you don’t need to be scared about wearing it out in the rain. Nylon strap = functional without having to worry about taking care of leather, plus, it also means you don’t have to concern yourself with matching it to your belt. The Entertainment: [CBS Online Star Trek Discovery – $5.99/mo (first week free)](. I can hear the groans from here, “Star Trek??” Now look, this isn’t your parent’s Star Trek. The acting is a step above, the action is impressive, and the costuming/makeup is phenomenal. Only available to watch on the CBS app. Whether you have a soft spot for Sci-Fi or not, give it a chance, you won’t be disappointed. The Socks: [Wigwam Merino Crew – $10 – $15](as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000TFHF22&linkCode=as2&tag=dappered-20&linkId=JWFYVXKBGL7YBKBG). Crazy durable, comfortable, and washable. Also great for running in when the temps start to dip. The Slippers: [Armor Lux Striped Wool Slippers – $53ish (45 Euros)](. Unlike cheap slippers with poly faux-fleece linings, these won’t suffocate your feet and give you swamp foot in the process. Nice and breathable. Made in France. Ships worldwide but you’re on the hook for returns. Might run a half size large. Maybe. Find your European shoe size [here](. The Candy: [MARS Chocolate Favorites Fun Size Candy Bars Variety Mix 60-Piece Bag – $8.68](. Grab a couple bags and you’ll be set for all the cute whipper snappers ringing your doorbell. Or, if you aren’t going to be giving out candy, remember to turn your porch light off so that you can enjoy the evening in peace. ff/Dappered?a=A22qOaSnj0M:X1h8L9AZ5nc:yIl2AUoC8zA ff/Dappered?a=A22qOaSnj0M:X1h8L9AZ5nc:qj6IDK7rITs ff/Dappered?a=A22qOaSnj0M:X1h8L9AZ5nc:gIN9vFwOqvQ [How To Wear It: Burgundy Chinos](r/Dappered/~3/qvbEA8jVeWs/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email) Posted: 24 Oct 2017 08:00 AM PDT [B.R. Tapered Rapid Movement Chinos – $63](//bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=1086241&pcid=35878&vid=1&pid=876745022) w/ BRMORE ($98) Burgundy is one of the hallmark colors of fall. Yet, a lot of men don’t even bother to wear it, or when they do, they wear it in limited amounts. It’s no wonder. Who wants to be “[red pants!” guy](? But… these aren’t fire engine red. The pants in question, here, are [burgundy](. Or wine. Or claret. Or… you get the idea. It’s still a bit out there, but not nearly as loud. And there are ways to tone them down. Keep any patterns around them simple, and contrast on the more kind side. Here’s six outfit suggestions in case you do want to dip a toe in the red burgundy pants waters. With a Grey Cord Blazer and Black Chukkas [How To Wear It: Burgundy Chinos | Dappered.com] - Sportcoat: J. Crew (from a few years back) but [this]( or [this]( (even though it’s not corduroy) should work too. - The Shirt: [Ledbury Semi-spread blue fine twill – $145]( (20% off if you get two). Or, whatever pale blue dress shirt you favor. - The Belt: [GAP Basic Leather Belt – $39.95](//www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=5135&pcid=5300&vid=1&pid=600175002) (but does go on sale) - The Boots: [Clark’s Bushacre 2 in Black Suede -$47.99]( - The Watch: [Standard Issue Instruments Pilot Mission Timer]( (discontinued) Could you go with brown suede chukkas and a brown belt here? Of course. But that might be a little too much “warmth” for one outfit. A smart casual black belt and black suede chukkas cools it down just enough, while the pale blue shirt is much less high-contrast compared to a white shirt. With a Navy Polo and Grey Suede Chukkas [How To Wear It: Burgundy Chinos | Dappered.com] - Polo: [Banana Republic Luxe Touch – $26.70](//bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?pcid=5001&vid=1&pid=324465002) @ 40% off ($44.50) - The Belt: [GAP Basic Leather Belt – $39.95](//www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=5135&pcid=5300&vid=1&pid=600175002) - The Boots: [Wolverine Marco Made in Portugal Suede Chukkas – $125.99]( - The Watch: [Armogan Spirit of St. Louis – $225]( For those who are still having a couple of warm days here and there. Another take on the chinos, chukkas, polo look. Simple and effective but still with plenty of color. Big fan of those grey suede chukkas from Wolverine. They aren’t from the thousand-mile line, but they’re still awfully good for the price. With a Plaid Topcoat, Sweater, and Casual Derbies [How To Wear It: Burgundy Chinos | Dappered.com] - Coat: [Uniqlo Wool/Cashmere Topcoat – $129.90]( ($149.90) - The Shirt: [Nordstrom Smartcare – $55]( - The Sweater: [J. Crew Factory Merino V- Neck – $35-$40ish]( - The Belt: [GAP Basic Leather Belt – $39.95](//www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=5135&pcid=5300&vid=1&pid=600175002) - The Shoes: Banana Republic Grey Suede Cap-Toes (discontinued) - The Watch: [Armogan Spirit of St. Louis – $225]( Layered up and simple. If you don’t have grey derbies, grey chukkas (like the Wolverine “Marco”) would do just fine too… as would brown shoes. Might want to stick with suede though. A smooth, highly polished leather might shout a bit too much against that red. With a Grey V-Neck and Casual Derbies [How To Wear It: Burgundy Chinos | Dappered.com] - The Shirt: Ledbury blue striped button down (discontinued) - The Sweater: [GAP Merino V-Neck – $35.97](//www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=1086738&pcid=5180&vid=1&pid=843085012) @ 40% off ($59.95) - The Belt: [GAP Basic Leather Belt – $39.95](//www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=5135&pcid=5300&vid=1&pid=600175002) - The Shoes: Banana Republic Grey Suede Cap-Toes (discontinued) - The Watch: [Armogan Spirit of St. Louis – $225]( Just a hint of a pattern on the shirt, and a pale grey sweater to keep things on the cooler-toned side (at least up top). Another look where grey suede shoes aren’t necessary, and brown could easily be swapped in. With a Grey Herringbone Blazer and Suede Chukkas [How To Wear It: Burgundy Chinos | Dappered.com] - Sportcoat: [Spier & Mackay Grey Herringbone]( (sold out) - The Shirt: [Ledbury Semi-spread White Fine Twill – $145]() (20% off if you get two) Or, whatever white dress shirt you favor. - The Boots: [1901 Suede Chukkas in Dark Brown Suede – $125]( - The Watch: [Armogan Spirit of St. Louis – $225]( A bit more dressed up, and might be a little too flashy for some. Want to tone it down? Switch out the high contrast white shirt for light blue, and you’ll be good to go. With a Navy Cardigan and Suede Chukkas [How To Wear It: Burgundy Chinos | Dappered.com] - The Cardigan: [J. Crew Merino Slim Fit – $89.50]( - The Shirt: [Ledbury Semi-spread Blue Fine Twill – $145]( (20% off if you get two) Or, whatever pale blue dress shirt you favor. - The Belt: [GAP Basic Leather Belt – $39.95](//www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=5135&pcid=5300&vid=1&pid=600175002) - The Boots: [1901 Suede Chukkas in Dark Brown Suede – $125]( - The Watch: [Standard Issue Instruments Pilot Mission Timer]( (discontinued) Close to the Spier & Mackay sportcoat look, only with a more casual, rugged watch, and a laid back cardigan instead of a sportcoat. Looks like something Cary Grant might have worn on his downtime. ff/Dappered?a=qvbEA8jVeWs:GlULjOw2s0g:yIl2AUoC8zA ff/Dappered?a=qvbEA8jVeWs:GlULjOw2s0g:qj6IDK7rITs ff/Dappered?a=qvbEA8jVeWs:GlULjOw2s0g:gIN9vFwOqvQ You are subscribed to email updates from [Dappered Style Mail]().
