Best of Threads – Autumn, Blazers, and Lifetime Shoes

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 – Transitioning Seasons

Those awkward weeks sandwiched between breezy autumnal days and humid heatwaves can often be the hardest to dress both stylish and comfortably. This week, readers were challenged to put together their best “Awkward Seasonal Transition” outfit. Forum member JBarwick showcased a JCrew Navy Tweed jacket with a blue tonal plaid shirt, a burgundy wool/mohair tie, and dark gray slacks. The pairing of textures and patterns proved to be a winning combination. Check out all of this weeks entries here.
