Most Wanted Affordable Style – May 2015

May 4, 2015 By Joe | Heads up: Buying via our links may result in us getting a commission. Also, we take your privacy rights seriously. Head here to learn more.

Consider these to be power rankings. Whether you’re looking for gift ideas or a quick upgrade for yourself, expect these to come around about once a month. You’ll find new arrivals and old favorites, especially good deals, or maybe something pricey to keep an eye on for future sales. The potential best of the best, which you may or may not have seen already. Got a tip on something that deserves to end up in the monthly Most Wanted? Send those in here.  Top Photo: andrew_j_w

 

J. Crew Ludlow Shawl Collar Dinner Jacket in Fiore Cotton – $298

J. Crew Ludlow Shawl Collar Dinner Jacket | Most Wanted Affordable Style - May 2015 on Dappered.com

Quite possibly the best looking jacket of the spring & summer? A warm weather option for those that like the velvet shawl collar look in the winter. Made from basket-weave cotton. Double vent in the rear. Should catch a few eyes at warm weather weddings and other dressed up gatherings this year. Sizes have been on back-order since this thing launched, and they’re all but sold out now. Fingers crossed for a re-stock.

 

F.F.F. Button-Stud Timex Chrono – $92.16 w/ thecouponcodeiscouponcode ($128)

F.F.F. Button-Stud Timex Chrono | Most Wanted Affordable Style - May 2015 on Dappered.com

Yes, you could get the standard Timex chrono with its (most likely) crummy leather band for a lot less, but you then miss out on the Horween feel & durability and the immense amount of color options you get through FormFunctionForm (like the burgundy color #8). 40mm case on these chronos. Word is they’ve got a nice weight to them too. Code is good for 20% off the entire site (minus the premium collection of course) through Sunday 5/10, and it stacks on top of stuff that’s already on sale (like the button stud Timex Chronos).

 

Banana Republic Linen/Cotton Dot Button Down – $48.42 w/ LOVE

Banana Republic Linen/Cotton Dot Button Down | Most Wanted Affordable Style - May 2015 on Dappered.com

A subtle interpretation of the print-trend that’s caught fire over the last few months. Dark blue dots on a blue linen/cotton blend. BR’s “slim fit” isn’t really all that slim, which is just fine for when it heats up (see #11 over here). And you could always have the sides brought in a little if necessary.  55% linen, 45% cotton. Wear it with white or off-white jeans, an unconstructed light-weight sportcoat, and canvas sneakers or loafers. Or, with dark denim, sneakers, and under a lightweight v-neck on a cool & casual evening out. Always on sale, and the code LOVE knocks 35% off and throws in free 2-day shipping. Code expires today, 5/4.

 

Allen Edmonds Warwick Single Monk Strap – $385

Allen Edmonds Warwick Single Monk Strap | Most Wanted Affordable Style - May 2015 on Dappered.com

Man. Just. My word… (And that word… does happen to be, in fact, ornithological in origin.)

 

J. Crew Factory Sunwashed Oxford Cloth Shorts – $27.65 w/ LETSGOSALE

J. Crew Factory Sunwashed Oxford Cloth Shorts | Most Wanted Affordable Style - May 2015 on Dappered.com

Target just hasn’t produced as many standard colors in their oxford cloth shorts for this year (although the light blue option from last year is on clearance for $8.74). So… guess we gotta turn to J. Crew Factory. Sunwashed oxford cloth in two options. The medium blue is just fine, but it’s that blue & white stripe that’ll see a ton of use. Code LETSGOSALE is good for 30% off & free shipping no min. Expires today.
