Seventy Five dollars. That’s a lot of money. It’ll get you a couple pairs of Levi’s, a nice dinner out, or a couple months at your local gym. Seventy Five dollars. It is a lot of money, especially if you spend it right. Ten picks follow, all under $75, and some of them are much, much less.

Probably the highest quality, best feeling dress shirt at this price point. Unlike cheaper, flimsy shirts that mix in poly, this one is thick but not weighty. You can instantly tell the difference. Disappeared for awhile from the Nordstrom site, but has since come back. Now if they could only make a twin in a light blue (although they do have one in Egyptian cotton
Summer appropriate for sure, but why stash it when the weather cools off? Unexpected bits of color in the fall and winter are a great way to inject some life in our predictably drab wardrobes. Keep on using it when the leaves change. (Price reflects extra 25% off sale. Shows up in cart. Could end at any time.)
Again, four words you’ll read here a lot between now and September… is it Fall yet? Rugby styling, trimmer fit through the sides, and a decent weight (but not anchor heavy) fabric. Huge points for the cuffs.

Part of the ongoing Bonobos summer sale. A go-to summer belt at a more than reasonable price. The added bonus is that it’s made in the United States. Of course you get the Bonobos Free Shipping and Ninja powered customer service.

Your dopp kit won’t be tough to find in your over packed duffel ever again. Tough to miss when it’s bright orange. Canvas exterior, nylon on the inside, nice looking bridle leather trim.

Ties with more than two colors can get too busy awfully quick. Leave it to J. Crew to put three complimentary, cool colors all on the same tie with big blocky stripes, and still have it come off w/ subtlety. Wear it with your khaki suit.

A recent personal splurge (if you can call spending $15 a splurge.) I was impressed with how quickly these got to the Dappered home offices after I had clicked “purchase.” So far they’ve been used as thank you notes and cards for birthday presents. They’re miles ahead of any store bought cards. Tons of motifs available for you to pick from.

End of summer clearances + new arrival sale reluctance = stuck between seasons.
Sunday & Monday only. Shawl collar sweaters. Quilted jackets. Lots of new fall arrivals. BRF…
Huckberry has refreshed their sale section.
