Last week we recognized the Best Affordable Style of 2017, 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 2017. 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.

We swim in a sea of retail, with goods running the gamut in quality and price. This is Dappered’s definitive list on what items in the world of men’s style will deliver the most value for money spent, affordably speaking.
You know all those little things you can focus on and obsess over when it comes to your style? Lapel width, watch brand, matching leathers, etc. Truth is, the vast majority of folks don’t notice, or care. This has nothing to do with you. People are busy. Don’t let it get you down.
