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 “Rebellious” Thread – I Meant To Do That!

Rules are meant to be broken, right? Dappered readers discuss various “style rules” that they simply choose not to follow. From ties without jackets, to white athletic socks, to an honest appreciation of flip flops: “I wear flip flops with long pants when it’s warm outside. Jeans, chinos, colored denim, etc. I like them, they are comfortable, and my feet don’t sweat nearly as much in them. Come at me with those pitchforks!” Check out this thread and see what other “style rules” are being thrown to the wind.

Ever wonder how Actors keep their shirts tucked in during action scenes? Following some mild humor, one Dappered reader decided to take a chance on “magnet tucks” and has reported early success.

 

Trendiest Thread – Are Birkenstocks Back?

Are Birks Back?

A few style publications recently have hyped Birkenstocks as a “new” trend in mens fashion but Dappered readers aren’t biting. Is there any credence to this trend or are these publications grasping at straws?
