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.
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.
Our lives change, we grow older, sometimes wiser, but amidst new wardrobe purchases certain staple items always seem to stay in rotation. For some, it’s a nostalgic old t-shirt from college, while others lean on a classic pair of pristine hand made leather shoes. There are countless factors that might contribute to your personal favorite wardrobe item and it’s fascinating to see such diversity. Take a look at what our readers consider their favorite pieces and share yours too!

The leaves begin to fall, the nights start to get chillier, and before you know it we are in full on Fall weather. For many of us that translates into boots, tweed, sweaters, layering, and much more. Dappered readers are starting to prioritize their Autumn purchases before it gets too late. Have you started planning for the change in seasons? Check out what types of purchases threads users have prioritized this Fall/Winter, and let us know what’s on your list.
