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.

Best Men’s Dress Shoes under $200 of 2017
There’s something to be said about investing in a really nice pair of dress shoes that can be resoled and will last several years, if not decades.
