That’s what these are for. Summer is here. Time to lighten up the colors and the fabrics. Patterned short sleeve button downs [are popular]( once again this year. Here we’re pairing one with the texture and airiness of chambray pants. Perfect for a hot day when you want to look more put together than what wearing a pair of shorts could offer. [Style Scenario 06820 Airy Chambray for Summer] The Shirt: [Amazon Goodthreads Men’s Slim-Fit Short-Sleeve Printed Poplin Shirt in White Anchor – $25](. Or, whatever well fitting short sleeve poplin you happen to prefer. Here the uniform, subtle anchors add a little order to the look, while the texture of the chambray pants is a little more varied and chaotic. A super loud shirt (which this isn’t) with chambray pants might be a little too much on the eyes. Maybe. The Watch: [Seiko SNDC31 Classic Stainless Steel Chronograph Watch – $99](. Adds a little retro class to the outfit. The Sunglasses: [Huckberry Weekenders in Tortoise – $45](. Affordable. Polarized. Good looking tortoise pattern. The Pants: [GAP Blue Chambray Cotton/Linen Khakis in Slim Fit – $45ish](. Perfect summertime casual pants. Lightweight, breezy, and a bit of texture. Need a fit with a little more room? I hear you. [J. Crew has straight fit chambray pants](. Spendy, but they go on sale a lot. The Belt: [GAP Stretch Webbed Belt – $20ish](. ’tis the season for webbed belts. This’ll do fine. Stretch in case you have an extra scoop on that ice cream cone. The Socks: [Bombas Merino Blend No-shows – $14](. Seamleses toe. “Contour” construction. AND they’re merino blend. Terrific. Fingers crossed these “stay up” when you wear them and don’t slide under your heel like far too many no-shows do. Should keep your feet cool and comfortable thanks to that merino blend. The Shoes: [Nordstrom Men’s Shop Sawyer Nubuck Sneakers – $59.96]( ($99.95). Perforated sides, neutral nubuck, and a white contrast sole. Plus they’re on sale and ship and return for free. ff/Dappered?a=RyAUhP22uu8:Ty-1GD_cPew:yIl2AUoC8zA ff/Dappered?a=RyAUhP22uu8:Ty-1GD_cPew:qj6IDK7rITs ff/Dappered?a=RyAUhP22uu8:Ty-1GD_cPew:gIN9vFwOqvQ [The Podcast Playlist – June 2020](r/Dappered/~3/fXXCYl9J6jA/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email) Posted: 16 Jun 2020 02:00 PM PDT Heads up: Buying via our links may result in us getting a commission.

As much as this website [encourages]( people to [disconnect](, podcasts are one of those things that are an exception to that rule. They’re incredible. And they can make the mundane ([doing laundry](, riding the bus, [ironing]( or [shining shoes]() nothing short of extraordinary. Each month our resident podcast connoisseur, [Dave I.](, finds three podcasts worth your time and ears. [Iron Radio]() Iron Radio is a podcast dedicated to sports nutrition, power lifting, weight training, and bodybuilding. Hosted by a rotating stable of knowledgeable hosts including former competitive bodybuilder Lonnie Lowery, journalist and competitive bodybuilder/powerlifter Rob Fortney, engineering and exercise physiology expert Dr. Mike Nelson, and competitive powerlifter/strongman Phil Stevens, the hosts manage to keep each episode light and entertaining. While some other weight lifting podcasts veer in to ‘bro’ territory, Iron Radio manages to avoid many of those clichés. Some episodes to check out include episode 569 – [Eating During the Lockdown]( which was an informative show about how to avoid gaining the Covid-15 lbs. Episode 537 – [Social Media and Lifters]( provided good insight on the impacts of social media such as Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. Even if weight training and body building is not your focus, the messaging conveyed in this episode can be applied to other aspects of life. Finally, digging back in the archives episode 482 – [Response to Injuries]( was a good show about treating serious injuries in a way that does not sideline recovery efforts. [Blamo!]( Writing for a men’s style website, I am surprised I have taken this long to recommend a style/fashion podcast. That’s about to change. Blamo! is a podcast dedicated to exploring the fashion industry. Each week a diverse cast of personalities with varied backgrounds join host Jeremy Kirkland to discuss their fashion journey and how style has influenced their career. Not sure where to start? Check out the interview with [John Reardon and the Collectability of Patek Philippe]( for a great listen on the provenance of Patek Philippe watches. Next, move on to the interview with [Jamie Ferguson]( to hear about the ins and outs of fashion photography. Finally, the interview with [Edward Sexton]( is an interesting listen as Edward talks about what it takes to be a tailor on Savile Row. Heads up though, some of the full Blamo! podcasts require Blamo! Patreon membership. [The Kitchen Counter]( Looking for a podcast to walk you through recipes in real-time? Then look no further than The Kitchen Counter podcast. Hosted by chef Roger, each episode takes listeners through the process of creating a meal while imparting new skills at the same time. The podcast works because steps and instructions are easy to follow without making the listener feel uncomfortable for not knowing a particular technique. With so many recipes in the podcast’s feed, deciding where to start can be difficult. Roger’s recipe for [Chicken Marsala]( is a good place to start and easy enough to knock out on a weeknight. If pasta is of more interest, then [Semolina Gnocchi]( deserves a listen. Lastly with summer starting up in many parts of the world, [Flavors of Summer]( is a good episode to get some summer cooking inspiration. About the author: [Dave I.]( has been a Dappered reader for several years. His interest in fashion started with shoes and expanded to encompass watches, suits, and general men’s style. When not thinking about his next purchase he can be found enjoying a pint of locally brewed craft beer. ff/Dappered?a=fXXCYl9J6jA:b-oh-WWdOC4:yIl2AUoC8zA ff/Dappered?a=fXXCYl9J6jA:b-oh-WWdOC4:qj6IDK7rITs ff/Dappered?a=fXXCYl9J6jA:b-oh-WWdOC4:gIN9vFwOqvQ [Steal Alert: J. Crew Tech Shorts are down to $20](r/Dappered/~3/ECxR-r64jNU/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email) Posted: 16 Jun 2020 08:00 AM PDT Heads up: Buying via our links may result in us getting a commission. Also, we take your privacy rights seriously. Head [here]( to learn more. [J. Crew 9″ Tech Short – $20]( ($69.50) Super lightweight. Breathable. No scrunchy elastic waistband. Yes, they “swish swish” because they’re all synthetic, but you wear them once and you’ll be hard pressed to go back to a standard cotton short in severe heat and humidity. And now they’re twenty bucks. Made from 65% recycled nylon. Terrific stretch and ease of movement. Usually these things go for around $40 when 40% off. That’s what I’ve personally paid in the past. But now they’re twenty bucks, as they’ve maxed out the “up to 70% off” discount [during a small selection “best sellers” event](. Same event that has [the unsuits at half off](. Somehow I missed the shorts during the original scroll. Size shown at the very top of the post is the 9″ inseam option with a 34 waist on 5’10” / 200. That was last year, and those were a touch big on me. At present, I’m down closer to 190 lbs (if not a little less due to lockdown/not-eating-at-restaurants) and a brand new pair of 32 fits me perfect. Bottom line, they might run a touch big. Big thanks to Jeff P. for the tip! ff/Dappered?a=ECxR-r64jNU:90wdzteDgpg:yIl2AUoC8zA ff/Dappered?a=ECxR-r64jNU:90wdzteDgpg:qj6IDK7rITs ff/Dappered?a=ECxR-r64jNU:90wdzteDgpg:gIN9vFwOqvQ You are subscribed to email updates from [Dappered Style Mail]().
