[Here’s why.]( 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. Good grief it got hot in a hurry. Not just “hot” hot, but body parts are sticking to other body parts… hot. So let’s get smart and embrace cooling, wicking tech wear, without, y’know, looking like you’re wearing nothing but tech wear. [Style Scenario: All (affordable) Tech Wear for the Heat] The Sportcoat: [Banana Republic Core Temp Sportcoat in Stone – $149.40](//bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=469490012&cid=1130278&pcid=13846&tid=braff4025845&ap=2&siteID=brafcid11555231&cjevent=2fd90b4fac1411e982a201eb0a1c0e12) when 40% off ($249). Lightweight, airy, hopsack Italian wool and barely lined so it’ll handle the summer heat with ease. In a cool blue that’ll look great in the fall with that dark denim that is currently on the shelf. The Sunglasses: [Ray Ban Justin Classic 54mm Sunglasses – $94.90]( ($143). Classic Ray-Ban good looks, a slightly more modern tortoise shell shade, and a rubberized finish will keep them on your face if you sweat. The Polo: [Amazon Peak Velocity Performance Quick-dry Athletic-Fit Polo in Alpine Blue Heather – $25](. Got a big round-up of multiple Peak Velocity items in the works, but, I’ll give you the super short, TL;DR version here: It’s 80% the feel and quality of Lululemon, at 30% the price. It’s quite an impressive attempt to disrupt the athleisure world by big brother Amazon. There’s one issue I’ve found. Fits can be a little inconsistent across pieces. For this “athletic fit” polo? SIZE DOWN. I’m 5’10” / 200 lbs, and I take a medium. Large was noticeably too big. The Chinos: [Lands’ End Straight Fit Mi Pro Golf Pants in White – $38.97](//www.landsend.com/products/mens-straight-fit-mi-pro-golf-pants/id_334454) w/ SILVER & 2961 ($64.95). These have replaced BR’s core temp pants for me, personally. Why? Because they’re cheaper, they’re much more wrinkle resistant, and despite being 100% tech-wear synthetic, they don’t “swish swish” like other all poly pants. The fabric really is something else. Super smooth to the touch. Not crinkly or weird feeling. The Watch: [Seiko 007 Diver – $225](. A total classic that’s built for, among other things, the sun, sweat, and sand of summer. 200m water resistance and a workhorse automatic movement. Don’t want to spend two bills? Understood. [The oft-mentioned Casio diver]( works great here too. The Socks:[Smartwool Burgee Merino Wool Blend Socks in Light Gray – $11.97]( ($20.95). Nature’s tech fabric = merino wool. Lightweight merino is so far superior to cotton in every single way. These’ll keep your feet cooler and dryer in the heat. Promise. Still on sale at Dick’s, of all places. The Shoes: [Cole Haan GrandEvolution Wingtip Derby – $149.90]( ($280). I know some of you guys HATE this style of shoe. I’m luke-warm myself. Don’t care either way, don’t wear them myself. But I can 100% see them working here. It’s uncomfortable outside. Might as well be comfortable with what you’re putting on before you head out for the day. Part of the big Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Not your thing? Suede chukkas would work here. As would some more classically styled court-style sneakers. The Belt: [Lands’ End Elastic Braided Belt – $24](//www.landsend.com/products/mens-elastic-braid-belt/id_272981?sku_0=::A6J&cm_mmc=CJ-_-www.landsend.com-_-3059429_4025845-_-Dappered&CJSID=&AID=11552747&PID=4025845&cjevent=69d35c37ac1611e98218018e0a1c0e0c) w/ SILVER & 2961 ($39.95). More comfort here. Timeless silver buckle and leather accents. The Underwear: [Ex Officio Give-N-Go Breathable Brief in Charcoal – $19.95](. Underwear of choice when it’s swamp-crotch weather. These breathe, wick, and dry quickly. ff/Dappered?a=SdJCM252T50:ItPF1yCFMfI:yIl2AUoC8zA ff/Dappered?a=SdJCM252T50:ItPF1yCFMfI:qj6IDK7rITs ff/Dappered?a=SdJCM252T50:ItPF1yCFMfI:gIN9vFwOqvQ [Bonobos Extra 40% off Sale Items](r/Dappered/~3/PTzu5zAaxeg/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email) Posted: 29 Jul 2019 01:47 PM PDT Heads up: Buying via our links may result in us getting a commission. [Here’s why.]( [SUMMERSALE = Extra 40% off Bonobos Sale Items]( So much for summer clearance season winding down. This is quite the extra cut on already marked down items. It was a late addition to this morning’s tripod and their sale section is stacked right now, so, a bit of a deeper dive was warranted. Seasoned Bonobos browsers know that their sale section can sometimes be a bit of a mess. Sure, sorting by sizes can help, but there’s still a LOT in there. And with all the bright colors and patterns, well, some of us have ocular organs that can feel a bit overwhelmed. No word on when this additional 40% off code SUMMERSALE ends. But it looks like, for now, that most of their sale section [is NOT final sale](? [Keep an eye out though](. Off we go with the best of the best… [Oxlford cloth stretch chinos – $40.80]( ($88) An outstanding price for a terrific pair (or, pairs) of summertime pants. 96% crisp oxford cotton cloth with 4% stretch woven in. Five different colors to pick from. Should look plenty fine in early autumn too (especially since with the way things are going, it’s not gonna cool off anytime soon.) [Jetsetter Stretch Wool Blazer in Chris Blue Windowpane – $216]( ($450) This thing. Have [had my eye on this thing for months](. Super airy Italian wool that’s just butterfly lined in the back. Perfect for the heat, but that cool-blue with windowpane pattern should look dynamite with jeans when it cools off too. Obvious pattern, but the simplicity and crisp squares keep it from getting loud. [Stretch Lightweight Chinos – $34.80]( ($78) - [Stretch Lightweight Chinos in Tahoe Blue – $34.80]( ($78) - [Stretch Lightweight Chinos in Whirlpool Gray – $34.80]( ($78) - [Stretch Lightweight Chinos in Blue Horizon – $34.80]( ($78) - [Stretch Lightweight Chinos in Black Pearl – $34.80]( ($78) Thirty five bucks? What are these, Dockers? Shown above is the “Tahoe Blue” color in a 34×30 athletic fit on 5’10” / 200lbs. Not all colors are on sale unfortunately. Good amount of sizes and fits available at post time for the colors that are on sale though. [Lightweight Button Down Shirts – $28.80]( ($88) select colors/patterns - [Lightweight Button-Down Shirt in White Pixel Blue – $28.80]( ($88) - [Lightweight Button-Down Shirt in White And Blue Check – $28.80]( ($88) - [Lightweight Button-Down Shirt in Blue Maraca Shake – $28.80]( ($88) - [Lightweight Button-Down Shirt in White And Pink Pinata – $28.80]( ($88) Long sleeve, 100% cotton button-downs that have had the fabric lightened in weight for the warmer months, but these also work great in the other seasons under sportcoats, sweaters, etc. There are plenty more patterns on sale than just the quick quad shown above. Three fits and three lengths to pick from too. [Stretch Washed Chinos – $40.80]( ($88) A surprisingly large amount of colors on sale at post time, but not all have a decent size selection. These four do! For now. Not their lightweight option that’s a blend of cotton and poly. These are 98% cotton and 2% spandex. [Jetsetter Stretch Wool Suits in Navy Plaid – $216]( ($600) or [Navy Chalkstripe – $336]( ($750) I’m not sure why the “Patrick Navy Plaid” is that much more affordable. A quirk of the clearance season? You will need to get the trousers hemmed upon arrival though. So know that in advance. [Riviera Short Sleeve Shirts – $34.80]( ($88) select colors/patterns - [Riviera Short Sleeve Shirt in Chambray Paint Mark – $34.80]( ($88) - [Riviera Short Sleeve Shirt in White Cowabunga – $34.80]( ($88) - [Riviera Short Sleeve Shirt in Blue Rainbow Geo – $34.80]( ($88) Short sleeve button ups are all about the fit. And the print (or, if solid, a good natural looking fabric.) Otherwise, there are certain risks you run. Good thing Bonobos nails fits and fabrics like just about no one else. Available in THREE fits as well as three lengths. Impressive! [Short Sleeve Linen Henley – $40.80]( ($88) Not all colors are on sale, and thus, getting the additional 40% off cut with the SUMMERSALE code. But, there are more than a few colors that ARE already discounted, and thus, up for that extra discount. More than a few mediums and larges left at post time, but those could hustle out the digital doors pretty quick. [Unconstructed Italian Wool/Cotton/ Linen Blazer in Delmar Soft Blue Plaid – $216]( ($450) It’s plaid light-blue sportcoat season. This one is in a seasonal wool/cotton/linen blend. [They’ve also got some darker blue options available in this same fabric if that’s more your thing.]( [Tech 5-Pocket – $58.80 – $64.80]( ($138) When is a tech pant mostly cotton? Here, apparently. 59% Cotton, 36% Polyamide, 5% Elastane. Haven’t tried these in person, but I’m interested. Perhaps a 5-pocket Bonobos competitor to [the BR Core Temp](? Maybe? [Cotton Linen Henley – $46.80]( ($98) I know a guy named John. He’s a great guy. He wears henleys a lot. He likes Bonobos. He told me today that he doesn’t need any more clothes right now. JOHN AVERT YOUR EYES MAN. A long sleeve henley that’s made for summer, but can also do some work in the cooler months for sure. 45% Cotton, 35% Linen, 20% Polyester is the fabric makeup here. Sizes are scattered a bit on these too. [Softest Performance Polo – $22.80]( ($48) Not pure tech. 50% Drytex, 38% Cotton, 12% Modal jersey tri-blend fabric. Some colors are on sale, some are not. Sizes are a bit scattered on the ones that are on sale though. [Lightweight Travel Jeans – $40.80]( ($88) Finishing this post with a bang. The famous Bonobos travel jean in a lightened-up-for-summer weight. 98% cotton, 2% elastane. 5-pocket style. More than a few colors to pick from. Most of those colors have lots of sizes and fits left too. The extra 40% off Bonobos Sale items code SUMMERSALE ends… well I actually don’t know when this one ends. ff/Dappered?a=PTzu5zAaxeg:h7DnUPlKpo0:yIl2AUoC8zA ff/Dappered?a=PTzu5zAaxeg:h7DnUPlKpo0:qj6IDK7rITs ff/Dappered?a=PTzu5zAaxeg:h7DnUPlKpo0:gIN9vFwOqvQ [Steal Alert? Target’s Goodfellow & Co. is now doing Grooming](r/Dappered/~3/agJv_hwI_h0/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email) Posted: 29 Jul 2019 05:00 AM PDT Heads up: Buying via our links may result in us getting a commission. [Here’s why.]( [Target Goodfellow & Co. Grooming Goods – $4.99 – $7.99]( I don’t think it’s any secret that grooming stuff can get real pricey, real quick. So as long as this stuff isn’t, y’know, total garbage (imagine if it’s actually quite good!) then at this price, Target might just have a hit on their hands. [Target Goodfellow & Co. Grooming Goods]( - [16 oz Moroccan Mint & Cedar 2-in-1 Shampoo & Body Wash – $5.99]( - [5 oz Kelp & Sea Mineral Face Wash – $5.99]( - [4 oz Moroccan Mint & Cedar Face Scrub – $5.99]( - [4 oz Blue Sage & Tonka Texturizing Hair Fiber – $7.99]( - [1 oz Moroccan Mint & Cedar Beard Oil – $7.99]( Stuff ranges from basic body washes and face washes, to beard oils and tattoo aftercare (yes really). The quick picks above a just bit of a sample of what they’re offering, and the images shown above here aren’t to scale. I’m not that good with the graphics. Sorry guys. [Heck, I still use MS Paint](.
