The lowered 2nd button looks great when skipping a tie.  [Back to Top](#toplist) Button Down Casual Shirts “Button Down” usually indicates the style of the collar. “Button up” usually implies a more casual shirt. These would be button down button ups. - [UNIQLO Oxford Cloth Button Down – $29.90]( Oxford cloth that’s more substantial than poplin, but not weighty like flannel. - [Amazon Goodthreads Slim-fit Long-Sleeve Solid Oxford Cloth Button Down – $25](: Ships fast and free with Prime. - [GAP Poplin Blue Gingham Button Down – $30ish](//www.gap.com/browse/product.do?vid=1&pid=441128002&searchText=blue+gingham+Lived-In+Poplin+Shirt): Navy gingham is classic for a reason.  //www.gap.com/browse/product.do?vid=1&pid=441128002&searchText=blue+gingham+Lived-In+Poplin+Shirt [Back to Top](#toplist) Sweaters There are [a ton of different styles of sweaters](. But remember the name of this shop: “Essentials.” That’s why we’re sticking with classics here. - [UNIQLO Extra Fine Merino Wool V-Neck – $39.90]( Super lightweight but strong.

Sometimes it’s good to look at a few suggestions then add your own tweaks and ideas. That’s what these are for. So we’re almost to March. Some of you are starting to see signs of spring. Some of us… aren’t quite there yet. Here’s one way to add a little color during the late winter, crap-weather period, while still being prepared for snow, sleet, or whatever else to fall from the sky. (Top Photo [Credit]() [Style Scenario: Not Quite Spring… | Dappered.com] The Sportcoat: [Banana Republic Slim Utility Blazer – $159](//bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=427521012&cid=1113632&pcid=32643). A new arrival. Workwear inspired for sure. An extra layer adds a bit of intention, but the unconstructed, workwear-nature of the thing keeps it casual. Drops under $100 with the next 40% off code. The Umbrella: [Totes Wooden Stick Umbrella – $20](. Bigger then one of those tiny micro-umbrellas, but not some huge golf umbrella either. Big enough for two people to huddle under. Looks great, costs… not much. The Coat: [Suitsupply Italian Wool Blend Raincoat – $499](. A splurge, but all kinds of right. Italian 80% wool / 20% poly blend that’s all-season appropriate. Not some hefty winter topcoat. Ships and returns for free, which is good, because sometimes Suitsupply stuff can run small, and you want to get the right fit since it has to slip over whatever you’re wearing underneath. The Sunglasses: [Spier & Mackay Light Tortoise Sunglasses – $68](. There’s a weird gap in the sunglassess market between gas station cheapies, and super expensive designer brands. Thankfully, Spier is looking to fill that gap. The Boots: [Made in the USA Chippewa x Huckberry – $223.98]( ($280). Not just better looking in person, [a lot better looking in person](. Amazing leather that needs zero break in time. Also available in suede. Part of Huckberry’s spring clearance event. The Belt: [GAP Basic Leather Belt in Dark Brown – $39.95](//www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=5135&vid=1&pid=600175022&tid=goaff4025845&ap=2&siteID=goafcid11553180&cvosrc=affiliate.cj.4025845). It’ll stop getting recommended when it stops being the perfect casual to smart casual option. The Watch: [Seiko 5 Black Dial SNZF17 – $140](. A basic, dependable diver. 100m instead of 200m water resistance, so, don’t try to smash it around in the surf at the beach (water resistance is measured when the watch is stationary, so, accelerating the thing into a wave could muck up the insides). But should be good for the rain/sleet much of us are seeing right now. The Shirt: [Goodthreads Long-Sleeve Slub Thermal Henley – $20](. A henley under a workwear or knit style sportcoat is highly underrated. It just looks good. Strong but not stupid/bro’d out. Walks the line well. The Jeans: [Goodthreads Men’s Selvedge Denim – $50]( (with Prime). More Goodthreads, but for good reason. Not as starchy as many other selvedge jeans can be. A little bit of stretch woven in too. Just make sure you wash and wear em’ a bit before you wear them through a rain or snow storm. You don’t want the color to transfer. Full review of these jeans [can be found here](. ff/Dappered?a=UqYdBHfEYZs:RMYi0PK1ppY:yIl2AUoC8zA ff/Dappered?a=UqYdBHfEYZs:RMYi0PK1ppY:qj6IDK7rITs ff/Dappered?a=UqYdBHfEYZs:RMYi0PK1ppY:gIN9vFwOqvQ [East Dane: 15% off $200, 20% off $500, 25% off $800](r/Dappered/~3/eFL8ggGy2g4/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email) Posted: 26 Feb 2019 08:00 AM PST [GOBIG19: 15% off $200, 20% off $500, 25% off $800]( Tiers are steep. Discounts aren’t huge. But East Dane carries some higher end stuff (some of which is wayyyy outside our wheelhouse, either by price or by… weirdness), as well as a few brands that are tough to get on sale. And thus we have here some quick picks. But do know there are exclusions to this GOBIG19 code. Items up for this discount have to have the “Key Style” tag somewhere on the page. If that’s not there, the discount won’t apply. Items ship fast and free if you have a Prime account, since East Dane is one of many pies in which Amazon [has a finger or two in](. Meanwhile, why is [Little Jack Horner out here]( looking like he’s 53 yrs young and smoking two packs of Dorals a day? Geeze kid. Get some rest. You look like hell. [Filson Original Briefcase – $276.25]( ($325) [Filson ]( THAT GRAY SHADE. Seriously, my eyes bugged out like that girl in the creepy as hell Pizza Hut “look at that CRUST” commercial. Man.

And the fast, free shipping and free returns is nice here. [Billy Reid Wool Peak Lapel Pea Coat – $556]( ($695) [Billy Reid Wool Peak Lapel Pea Coat]( Half a grand. That’s… not cheap. But at least you’re getting the second tier, 20% discount. The peacoat Bond wore in Skyfall. Made in Italy, 80% wool / 20% nylon, mostly unlined, and those peak lapels. Yes, it’s spendy. But it’s an investment that’s gonna last and last and last. Prefer black? Lucky you! [It’s on sale. But sizes are limited](. [Filson Small Pullman Duffel Bag – $382.50]( ($450) [Filson Small Pullman Duffel Bag]( Whereas the original was designed to fit under the seat in a Pullman rail car, this slightly sized down version is made to meet Airline carry on requirements.

Horween here. Top notch stuff. Fancy. [Filson 24 Hour Briefcase – $335.75]( ($395) [Filson 24 Hour Briefcase]( Yes, more Filson. Would you prefer [$200+ adidas sneakers]( Okay, maybe you would. Those aren’t half bad looking. Those adidas look like they ate some Nike Killshots, pooped em’ out, and then put that poop in a bag, set it on Phil Knight’s doorstep, and lit it on fire. Anyway, I like Filson stuff. [And turtles](. . [Filson Medium Duffel Bag in Leather – $746.25]( ($995) [Filson]( Good grief that’s a lot of beef. Same dimensions and design as the canvas options above, but… in leather. And extremely expensive. Still made in the USA. [RM Williams Chelsea Boots – $420.75]( ($495) [RM Williams Chelsea Boots]( Good lord that’s a lot of money. But, they come highly recommended by our shoe correspondent. Me? I don’t wear my Allen Edmonds Liverpools enough because they’re “too nice.” Anyone else do that? You get something really nice and then you don’t actually USE the thing/things/much of your closet because you’re scared you’re gonna wreck it? Us humans are so irrational it hurts. Anyway, these are close enough to the second threshold (20% off at $500) that it’d probably be worth it to find something cheap to add to your shopping bag, and thus, trip the extra 5% off. Like, I dunno, [some shoe trees](. You’ll need those. There. Ta-Da.
