Last week we recognized the Best Affordable Style of 2018, focusing on the top products pumped out by the retail establishment.

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.

The post originally ran in 2017, but was so popular we updated it with new picks.
