You may have seen last month that I swung by A Days March, to check out the new Berwick Street store a day before it was opened to the public. Well, if you didn’t and A Days March is new to you as a brand, I highly suggest you read on… With four stores in […]
With London Fashion Week Men’s in full swing, a host of influencers, celebrities as well as a who’s who of menswear descended onto Jermyn Street for an unmissable catwalk showcasing some of the UK’s biggest heritage brands. The show – which is open air and open to public throughout the day – features some of […]
We keep hearing it. Affordable Luxury. But what does it really actually mean? There are many brands laying claim to these ‘qualities’ and to be honest, here at Dapper Chapper, as open minded as we are, it’s often not something we advocate shouting about. What we like about a strong everyday-wear brand is that it […]
This weekend, the capital once again plays host to the ever-growing London Fashion Week Men’s, with a host of brands and designers demonstrating their innovation and creative ability in the form of exuberant catwalk shows and aesthetically pleasing (for the most part) exhibitions. One of my favourite areas in London, Jermyn Street at the heart of […]
Chaps, when you’re picking out a shirt, what questions go through your head? Colour? Slim, tailored or regular fit? Buttoned sleeve or Cufflinks? Collar? Although the crux of all of these questions ultimately ends with personal taste, the latter is an area that appears to cause chaps a few more problems. Why? Well, if you […]
If you like what you read then DAPPER25 gets you £25 off your first order, minimum purchase of £75. When it comes to personal style and ensuring one looks ones best, it’s All About the Fit. No three (OK, four) words are more important when creating an outfit that seriously works because frankly, if your clothes don’t […]
David Beckham steals the show repping a morning coat by Dior Homme. The flair comes in the form of a contrasting double breasted waistcoat. Of course, he’s on point with the accessories with a gold pocket chain and the club master sunglasses. Nacho Figuero is one of the world’s greatest polo players and models for the likes of […]
When going on holiday, many chaps don’t count swim shorts as a holiday essential; in fact they’re often seen as an afterthought, and something to buy on the cheap – you may want to rethink this tactic. Dressing for the beach, or pool is not an easy thing to do for us blokes – we have one […]
Some chaps like to dress functionally; you know the Asics Trainers with tailoring, Cargo pants with a million different pockets kind of looks; and I get it…In fact, no, I don’t. Frankly, it looks appalling and for me, style should never be sacrificed for functionality. I imagine functional dressers become especially unstuck when it comes to […]
Unlike our European comrades, we’re sadly not blessed with guaranteed blue skies, warm seas or scorching temperatures during BST. Many UK-based Chappers also aren’t filled with the knowledge or ability to successfully innovate an eye-catching and seasonal outfit, especially for more formal occassions such as a garden party or wedding. Fear not, we’re here for you. Whether you’re […]
Stamping an authority on a piece of clothing is not for the faint hearted and pretty tough considering we’ve been wearing clothing of some sort for thousands of years. It can be done. We’ve seen the likes of Thomas Pink launch their White Shirt Bar and Burberry own the Mac, but they are big-name brands. […]
Us Brits have got a tremendous attitude when it comes to most things that present us with adversity – Keep Calm and Carry On. That said, we’re also exceptionally naive. Naive in the sense that as soon as it hits April, we believe spring will be in bloom and before long, temperatures will rocket, the rain will subside […]
Finding emerging fashion brands is a part of the job we love here at The Dapper Chapper. As ever, with our ears and noses to the ground, we have unearthed another ‘one-to-watch’ in the form of exciting new urban streetwear brand ArcMinute. Before we wax lyrical, Arcminute is fine angular measurement. Angular elements, clean lines and […]
Whether you’ve both swiped right, met through a friend, spilt a cup of coffee over one another and hit it off, or simply gone old school and had the courage to approach them in a bar (god forbid)…you’re going on a date. There are few situations in life that require as strong an impression as a […]
