Also, we take your privacy rights seriously. Head [here]( to learn more. Sales that deserve some attention heading into the weekend or a bit earlier. Five of the better sales are below, plus bonus sales if need be. Included are a few picks worth pointing out. [J. Crew: “Up to 50% off” Shirts and Pants](//www.jcrew.com/c/shops/up_to_50_off_shirts_and_pants/men?crawl=no&Npge=1&Nrpp=1000) [J. Crew men's shirts](//www.jcrew.com/c/shops/up_to_50_off_shirts_and_pants/men?crawl=no&Npge=1&Nrpp=1000) - [Slim Stretch Secret Wash shirt in white organic cotton – $29.50](//www.jcrew.com/p/mens_category/shirts/secret_wash/slim-stretch-secret-wash-shirt-in-white-organic-cotton/AA435?color_name=white) ($64.50) - [Slim Stretch Secret Wash shirt in organic cotton classic gingham – $29.50](//www.jcrew.com/p/mens_category/shirts/secret_wash/slim-stretch-secret-wash-shirt-in-organic-cotton-classic-gingham/AA438?color_name=vintage-navy) ($64.50) - [Slim stretch Secret Wash shirt in organic cotton gingham – $34.50](//www.jcrew.com/p/mens_category/shirts/secret_wash/slim-stretch-secret-wash-shirt-in-organic-cotton-gingham/AA429?color_name=van-buren-gingham-navy-h) ($69.50) - [Slim Stretch Secret Wash shirt in end-on-end organic cotton – $29.50](//www.jcrew.com/p/mens_category/shirts/secret_wash/slim-stretch-secret-wash-shirt-in-endonend-organic-cotton/AA446?color_name=waterfall) ($59.50) Key words are “up to”. So steer clear of anything in the 20% – 30% off range (unless you super need it), because it’ll almost guaranteed go on sale for less later on. But 50% off? For J. Crew mainline basics? Pretty solid. Picks above are all half off… and pretty classic/timeless/wheelhouse. [Bonobos: Up to 70% off FINAL Sale Items]( [Bonobos menswear]( - [Lightweight Flannel Shirt – $38]( FINAL ($98) - [Tech Chinos – $58]( FINAL ($138) - [Merino Half-Zip Sweater – $58]( FINAL ($128) - [Daily Grind Wool/Poly Suit Separates in Charcoal – $128]( FINAL ($400) - [Daily Grind Wool/Poly Suit Separates in Navy – $128]( FINAL ($400) - [Daily Grind Wool/Poly Suit Separates in Light Gray – $128]( FINAL ($400) - [Unconstructed English Wool Blazer – $198]( FINAL ($450) - [Italian Wool Trench Coat – $198]( FINAL ($548) - [The Wool Chore Jacket – $98]( FINAL ($198) Still rolling along. No returns though, so, it’s a gamble. Pretty sure there’s some new additions to this sale? I thought the Daily Grind suits, at this blowout price, were long gone? Suit separates here, so, no trip to a tailor (maybe) necessary, since the pants come pre-hemmed. So if it fits great out of the box, you can skip [that extra trip](. 60% wool / 40% poly there. And a hell of a price. Perfect for those just setting out/needing a starter suit that was designed to fit well, and not be some stiff, department store boxy thing. In regards to fit, “tailored” is SUPER slim. Then there’s the slim fit, which is still a true slim. Standard and Athletic follow, with Athletic having more room in the chest and shoulders, while still having some taper at the waist. [UNIQLO: OCBDs, Ultra Light Down, Heat Tech Sale]() [UNIQLO menswear]() - [Ultra Light Down Jacket – $49.90]( ($59.90) - [Heat Tech Crew Neck T-shirt – $9.90]( ($14.90) - [Heat Tech V Neck T-shirt – $9.90]( ($14.90) - [Oxford Slim-Fit Long-Sleeve Shirt – $19.90]( ($29.90) It’s like a greatest hits collection. Discounts are set to end today though. And remember that online purchases can’t be returned in store anymore. They have to be returned through the mail, which will cost $7 via a prepaid shipping label. [DROP: Glycine Vintage Bronze Combat Sub – $425]( FINAL [Glycine Vintage Bronze Combat Sub]( A more vintage-y take, design wise, on the popular bronze combat sub. Retro “Crown” logo. Big 9/6/3 Arabic numerals. Simple. And bronze. Swiss made. Final sale though. That’s what DROP (usually) does. [Huckberry: Valentine’s Day Shipping deadline is tomorrow (Friday 2/5)]( [Huckberry gifts for her]( - [Made in the USA Julia Szendrei Larkspur Floral Coin Necklace – $48]( - [Peak Design Everyday Totepack 20L v2 – $180]( - [Made in Portugal Upstate Lambswool Blanket – $149.98]( ($195) - [Made in the USA Julia Szendrei Black Diamond Slice Necklace – $85]( Worth another mention because around holidays, Huckberry always does a dynamite job curating gifts [for the lady in your life](. And if you don’t have a lady in your life, and instead you have a fella in your life, then [they have you covered there too](. Look, Valentine’s Day is a manufactured “Hallmark” holiday… but that doesn’t mean it can’t be fun. Also worth a mention: - [Mr. Porter](: Their sale event is now up to 80% off, but it’s super picked over… and it HEAVILY leans high fashion/expensive. - [Kent Wang](: [$50 off shoes](. - [Huckberry]( Their [Sale section]( is pretty stacked right now. ff/Dappered?a=Cka2HipbN6c:haIappDBntg:yIl2AUoC8zA ff/Dappered?a=Cka2HipbN6c:haIappDBntg:qj6IDK7rITs ff/Dappered?a=Cka2HipbN6c:haIappDBntg:gIN9vFwOqvQ [How to Spend it: So you got a gift card to UNIQLO](r/Dappered/~3/m6xQff7v3Sw/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email) Posted: 03 Feb 2021 02:00 PM PST 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. Per [Fortune Magazine](, gift card giving was up, WAY up during the 2020 holiday season. I’d be willing to bet that a large percentage of us Dappered readers received some of that fantastic plastic. Yet each year, over $3 billion in gift cards go unused(!!). We’re here to change that (I know, what an altruistic bunch we are. [No?]() In our annual series titled [How to Spend It](, we’re curating a bunch of items from a selection of stores you might/most likely got a gift card to (some very Dappered-y, some less so because Aunt Karen wasn’t sure). Our goal is to show you what’s worth it at various price points. You CAN spend it all in one place, dear! Brand Note: UNIQLO is a Japanese casual wear designer, manufacturer, and retailer with roughly 50 stores in the United States. UNIQLO, formerly Unique Clothing Warehouse, is well-known for their higher-than-average quality basics – from insulating parkas and cashmere sweaters down to their selvedge denim and amazing AIRism undergarments. Compared to their main competitors – The Gap, Zara, and H&M – UNIQLO focuses on technology and an evolving style rather than just churning out “fast fashion”. They also routinely collaborate with high fashion designers, artists, and third-party brands to bring unique garments and more progressive styles and cuts to the masses at affordable price points. I like to use UNIQLO clothing for those good basics while also experimenting with a new style, silhouette, or color that I’m just not sure about. Luckily, most of the UNIQLO clothing is fairly cheap so you can experiment with fun colors for Spring/Summer without breaking the bank. Note that stock moves quickly, so pounce on whatever you want whenever you can find it. Under $25 [Uniqlo gift card under $25] - [AIRISM Face Mask (Pack of 3) – $14.90]( - [Men’s Striped Slippers – $14.90]( - [Men’s Cotton Crew Neck Short-Sleeve T-Shirt – $9.90](C2%A9-cotton-crew-neck-short-sleeve-t-shirt-422990.html?dwvar_422990_color=COL65&cgid=men-year-round-shop#start=1&cgid=men-year-round-shop) ($14.90) - [Men’s AIRISM Cotton UV Protection Crew Neck T-Shirt – $19.90]( - [Men’s Waffle Henley Long-Sleeve T-Shirt – $19.90]( - [Men’s Dry-Ex Crew Neck Short-Sleeve T-Shirt – $19.90]( - [Men’s Waffle Long-Sleeve T-Shirt – $19.90]( There are a ton of stylish, yet classic items up for grabs in the under-$25 price tier. Their AIRism shirts are lightweight and breathable while the Dry-Ex line is athletic focused like Nike, Under Armour, Adidas, etc. From $25-50 [Uniqlo gift card 25 to 50] - [Men’s AIRISM Pique Short-Sleeve Polo Shirt – $29.90]( - [Men’s Milano Ribbed Crew Neck Long-Sleeve Sweater – $39.90]( - [Men’s Dry-Ex Ultra Stretch Jogger Pants – $39.90]( - [Men’s Oxford Regular-Fit or Slim-Fit Long-Sleeve Shirt – $19.90]( ($29.90) - [Men’s Cotton Ribbed Blouson (Harrington) Jacket – $49.90]( - [Men’s Stretch Selvedge Slim-Fit Jeans – $49.90]( UNIQLO is well-known for [their stretch selvedge denim]( which *I think* comes from the Kaihara Mills in Japan. I’m also a big fan of [their button-down collar AIRism pique knit polo shirts]( which breathe very well for those hot days. From $50-100+ [Uniqlo gift card 50 to 100] - [Men’s Comfort Blazer in – $69.90]( - [Men’s Kando Wool-Like Jacket – $69.90]( - [Men’s Blocktech Parka – $69.90]( - [Men’s Ultra Light Down Parka – $69.90]( - [Men’s Cashmere Crew Neck Long-Sleeve Sweater – $79.90]( ($99.90) - [UNIQLO x Finlayson HeatTech Full-Size Blanket – $69.90]( For under $100, I’d focus on their merino wool or cashmere sweaters or experiment with a stretchy navy blazer. Do be warned that their blazers and sportcoats tend to run short in the tail. So if you’re tall or have a longer torso or just flat out don’t like the “chopped” look, you might want to look somewhere else. Meanwhile, if you’re in the market for new outerwear, their Blocktech line is chock full of synthetic down stuffed vests, jackets, and parkas to keep you warm well into Spring. I’m a big fan of that [Finlayson collab blanket]( too! From $100-200 [Uniqlo gift card 100 to 200] - [Men’s Hybrid Down Coat – $59.90]( FINAL ($129.90) - [Men’s Hybrid Down Parka – $59.90]( FINAL ($129.90) - [Men’s Blocktech Hooded Coat – $59.90]( FINAL ($129.90) - [Men’s Ultra Warm Down Coat – $99.90]( ($179.90) - [Men’s +J Wool Blend Chester Coat – $149]( ($249) UNIQLO doesn’t really offer a whole lot over $100 these days, except for some of their heavier/warmer coats and a few items from their collaboration collections. This is great for those of us on a tighter style budget, so take advantage where you can to maximize the value on those gift cards. And it’s that time of year, so sales are happening on coats and jackets all the time.

With divided politics, the crazy stresses of a global pandemic, divided… well, it feels like everything right now, that sentiment might be hard to believe. And even though Valentine’s Day is a holiday created specifically to sell commercial stuff, it can be a good reminder that love, is in fact, in the air every single day. We need it, we crave it, and it helps us thrive as humans. So, this Valentine’s Day, take a deep breath, let go of all the biases for a second or two, and let love step forward to have some time in the sun. Because, after all, [love just feels good](.

I think at this point we’re all open to simple, new experiences. This would be a fun couples activity, but hey, if you’re flying solo this year you can always paint your pet, someone else important to you, or yourself. Just be aware that if your portrait ends up looking like an old hunk of muenster… that could kill the vibe. But maybe you REALLY love muenster? Paint the cheese!
