Best Posts of 2016 – The Best <$200, Getting Sharp, & Free Handsome

January 2, 2017 By Dappered Team | Heads up: Buying via our links may result in us getting a commission. Here's why.

Last week we recognized the Best Affordable Style of 2016, focusing on the top products pumped out by the retail establishment. This week we’re taking a look back at the best (at least what WE consider the best) of what Dappered had to offer in 2016. Not trying to toot our own horn here. Consider this more of an exercise in recognizing what was popular with the Dappered readers, so we continue to create informative content in the New Year. And by the way, to those Dappered readers: thanks.

But on occasion, there are some items that are just worth dropping a little more cash on. That extra cash can buy a bump up in quality and longevity. This past year we tackled two such areas of style, watches and dress shoes, by giving the best options out there under the $200 mark.

Mr. Autumn Man’s cousin made an appearance in a new Style Scenario series we tackled this year; the nothing over $100 editions. The transition from summer into fall seems to heighten the sartorial excitement for most guys, since the prospect of layering comes back into play. This particular Style Scenario put together an outfit perfect for that first cooler day, with all items priced south of a hundred.
