What I Wore Today - Styling shoes by The Cano Shoe

Craig of That Dapper Chap shares what he wore today in a post where he styles the Benito sandals by The Cano Shoe and offers readers a 15% discount

It's the time of year when the boots get put to the back of the cupboard and we pull out footwear more suited to warmer weather. The Cano Shoe offers a really nice range of fine quality shoes, each pair hand woven by Mexican artisans dedicated to keeping the ancient tradition alive.

Offering a selection of both men's and women's shoes, the gents collection consists of three styles: Pancho Villa, Benito and Zapata. All three styles are available in different colours from black to red, like the Benito sandals that I am styling today.

British adventure brand Shackleton launches its Autumn/Winter 2017 Polar Collection

Craig of That Dapper Chap meets the gents behind British adventure brand Shackleton and shares details of their new AW17 Polar Collection

It's a bit warm right now to be thinking of kitting ones self out in heat retaining winter wear but if you're planning an expedition to the Arctic or even a city break to Iceland for the end of the year, Shackleton is one brand that you must consider.

Ex Royal Marine Aldo Kane is Shackleton's brand ambassador and models the latest collection

With ex Royal Marine Aldo Kane as the face of the AW17 collection, they have a great ambassador as he is a guy who knows just how the right clothing can make a difference, particularly in freezing temperatures. If he approves of the range I'm in no position to question the performance or integrity of their products!

New Glasses from Glasses Direct

Craig of That Dapper Chap shares his new London Retro Fitzroy glasses

As a bespectacled bloke it's good to see so many styles available for us visually challenged folk. Most of the week I do wear contact lenses, but they tend to feel dry in hot weather so I sometimes switch to glasses, and anyone who wears glasses knows it can be so difficult to find that perfect pair.

'Spend It Well' at the Marks & Spencer AW17 Catwalk Show

Craig of That Dapper Chap takes us to London for the Marks & Spencer Autumn/Winter 2017 Catwalk show and shares what's coming our way later in the year. 

Last week saw the Marks & Spencer catwalk show, and I was excited to receive an invitation from M&S CEO Steve Rowe. Of course I wanted to attend!

Upon entering the venue I grabbed a much needed cocktail and met up with some of the team, along with fashion folk and TV celebs. After catching up it was time for the show, and we weren't disappointed.

Get Preppy

Craig of That Dapper Chap shows us how to achieve the preppy style and stay on trend this summer.

One trend that I've spotted coming through stronger and stronger in the spring summer collections is the preppy style. While big brands like J Crew, Tommy Hilfiger and Ralph Lauren have been champions of this style for years, it's becoming more mainstream, so I wanted to give you a little insight in to how you can achieve one of this summers key looks.

Question: What do you do with your clothes once you've decided that they're not for you any more? Are you happy with how you dispose of them?

Let me ask you another question: How long do you think it takes for people in the UK to dump 10,000 old pieces of clothing, like the pile in the picture above? A year? A month? A week? Maybe even a single day?

What I Wore Today #52

Craig of That Dapper Chap shares what he wore today and features a traditional brown check wool suit from Next. 

Being a typical Brit, the weather is one of those subjects that instantly springs to mind. Living in a country where we can 'enjoy' all four seasons in one day (and that is not an exaggeration) it's a subject that's close to our hearts. So, in my typical Brit fashion I'll start with a note on the weather!

I remember only a few short years ago that I got sunburned in April, this year it's fair to say that temperatures are less than usually seasonal, hence me reaching for a wool three piece suit!
