To all those brave but slightly mad people who plan their big day in the depths of winter; we salute you. It gives us guys at DCHQ the chance to raid the AW wardrobe and assemble a killer outfit with the potential to upstage the bride…(if we do, more fool her for underestimating her guests). […]
The purpose of visiting trade shows for us at Dapper Chapper is to find, or unearth brands that we may not have already heard of and to get a good old look at the latest street styles to keep ourselves informed. Safe to say, we see many brands that catch our eye and as is […]
We’re now firmly fixed in autumn and loving the delightful autumnal weather we’re experiencing. However, our advice to you is enjoy it while it lasts. It’s time think ahead and turn your attention to arming yourself with a raincoat for when the weather deteriorates; because it will. One brand I’ve always admired from afar is […]
If you hadn’t guessed it already, at Dapper Chapper HQ we just love talking about tailoring, especially when it surrounds an exciting British brand who are steeped in tradition and quality. Lutwyche was founded in 2000, by Tony Lutwyche, and have showrooms in London’s Mayfair and New York’s Madison Avenue. ‘Inspired by the traditions of Savile […]
We meet a lot of people in this job and a lot of new brands, but this one has been one of those that has genuinely got us a little over excited. Limitato is a new label from the trusted, fashion-forward shores of Sweden and a fusion between fashion, music and art – which sounds […]
It was during a recent trip to Florence and Pitti Uomo that we stumbled across Gran Sasso, or Maglificio Gran Sasso to be precise, a brand steeped in heritage from the less well-known region of Abruzzo. As with most of these Italian brands, they all look pretty Dapper, but with Gran Sasso there was an […]
Not long back I was lucky enough to visit Biella, a beautiful town nestled in the foothills of the Italian Alps. This generous invitation came from my good friends at bespoke tailors Clements and Church. Many of you will recognise several of my most notable looks through collaborations with them in the past – I’ve […]
What’s happened? Where’s it gone? And can it make a comeback? You may think I’m overreacting; fashion constantly recycles and revisits itself and what is currently out of vogue will, more often than not, have its heyday again. Britney and Justin’s infamous double denim disaster is arguably very on trend right now; kitten heels clawed […]
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 […]

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 […]
