What’s Dappered Threads? It’s our forum. Launched in 2011, Threads has become a not too big, not too small, just-right-sized forum that doesn’t put up with snobbery. All thanks to the users and hardworking mods. Once a month, one of the mods from Threads provides us with a highlight package of the last few weeks.

 

Best Friday Challenge – Denim and Sneakers

sneakers and denim Best Friday Challenge on Dappered Threads

For this Friday Challenge, Dappered readers were challenged to show off their favorite denim and sneaker casual combination, no t-shirts allowed! ZCM came away with the win pairing khaki PF Flyers with dark gray jeans, a striped oxford, and a textured brown tie. It was great to see the wide variety of Dappered sneakers from Converse, to Opening Ceremony, to Keds, the aforementioned PF Flyers, and more. Check out all the entries here.

 

Most Timely Thread – Summer Wedding Suits

The outdoor wedding season is fast approaching. When deciding on a Summer Wedding suit, there are many factors to consider from logistics of the wedding, to budget, to weather, and more. Check out the Summer Wedding Suit discussion over on Threads and see what Dappered Readers are wearing this season.

Best Advice – On why boat shoes are ubiquitous with the south?

Probably for the same reason cowboy boots are big in parts of the South where ranching and riding were never as culturally significant as they were (and are) in much of the West. Style is aspirational. – LesserBlackDog

 

Most Resourceful – Your Favorite Summer Shoe

It’s time to pack away those bulky winter boots and break out your boat shoes, white chucks, and driving loafers. In this thread Dappered readers discuss their favorite shoes for Summertime and, yes… argue the merits of flip flops outside of the beach or pool. Share your personal favorite Summer shoes and weigh in on whether or not flip flops have become unfairly reviled.

Best Off-Topic Thread – I Skipped Record Store Day

Has the excitement and appeal of Record Store Day been all but killed by Hipsters and mainstream media, or is the shift and publicity ultimately good for art? Did you attend Record Store Day this year or did you skip out like a few Dappered readers?
