Live A Colourful Life With Joe Browns

Craig of That Dapper Chap joins Joe Browns for their #JBColourful campaign

Joe Browns is not a brand that shies away from colour. Take a look at their range and you'll see it bursting with bright blues, pinks, yellows, reds and all of the other colours of the proverbial rainbow.

Today sees a celebration of this fact as they launch their #JBColourful campaign to get us all living a colourful life, and with spring finally here lets shed our winter woolies and get our colour on.

What To Pack For A Weekend Away

Craig of That Dapper Chap teams up with Debenhams to get some stuff together for a long weekend away.

We've all done it, packed what we think we need only to find that out way too late that the toothbrush is still sitting in its little mug in the bathroom, and those socks we got ready are still sitting on the bed next to our sunglasses!

Debenhams have just launched their Holiday Shop and are offering us a great selection of items to chose from to take with us on our break. It feels so much nicer going away with new stuff doesn't it!

I'm excited to tell you that I'll be spending a long weekend in Marrakech very soon and I'm already considering what to pack.

This isn't a definitive list as everyone has individual needs, and what you pack also depends on the weather you're expecting when you arrive at your destination. If you're staying in or coming to the UK however you'll need to pack for every possible type of weather, from hail storms to searing sun as we have been known to have both in the same day!

What I Wore Today - An Afternoon in White Stuff

Craig of That Dapper Chap shows us what he wore today in an outfit from White Stuff

You already know that I'm a huge fan of White Stuff, their quintessential English style and that heartfelt vintage edge that they have and give us each season.

Spring has popped in to say 'hello' and while she's welcome, we're all hoping that she doesn't hang around for too long before Summer waltzes in with promises of scorched skin and warm evenings with cold wine and old friends.

The White Stuff 'Weeds & Wonders' flat lay as seem on my Instagram page

So to celebrate the Weeds & Wonders that Spring brings with her, I donned my White Stuff outfit, hopped into my 1967 Morris Minor and spent the afternoon enjoying a local park which has its roots in medieval history.

A VERY SMART OCCASION

Burton Menswear have been around for a good while and know a thing or two about suiting. Being a go to store for men of all shapes and sizes, they have a suit for everyone. 

With the wedding season just around the corner Burton are currently offering you a huge 20% discount on suits, and they have a great range of two and three piece suits in stock.

I've never been to the races before, so I was super excited when I received an invitation from Burton Menswear to attend the Cheltenham Festival as part of their #SmartOccasion campaign.

Together with top bloggers: Ben from TwentyFirstCenturyGent, Joey from JoeyLondon, John from TheEveryDayMan, Peter from HumanResearchXYZ and of course the guys from Burton we made our way to the races suited and booted in Burton suits, shirts, ties and footwear.

Product Review - The Comanche Watch By Chronodos

Craig of That Dapper Chap reviews the 'Comanche' artisan watch from Chronodos

Product

Today's product review is all about this beauty, the 'Conamche' artisan wristwatch by Chronodos.

Chronodos specialise in more unusual looking watches. "we want to offer men around the world unique alternatives to most generic and boring watches that you'll find elsewhere" say the guys at Chronodos and they seek inspiration for their designs from various sources including architecture, movies, people from history and nature.

The leather that they use on the watch cuffs generally from Italy and is specifically tailored to your wrist. When you purchase your watch you have to specify the exact measurement of your wrist, making it specific to you and you alone. It's very easy to do and takes just a few seconds.

That Dapper Chap X Topman - Great Britain, Great Suits

Craig of That Dapper Chap joins Topman for their Suit Style By City campaign which showcases different looks for different UK cities

Every guy needs a great suit, so I was pleased to be asked to be part of the Topman Suit Style By City Campaign, where the brand took seven top UK menswear bloggers and asked us each to represent a city based on what look is popular in that particular city.

Having relations in Brighton, that's the city I chose. A popular look for guys in this diverse and eclectic city is a roll neck sweater worn under a suit, and this is my take on it.

A good suit is a wardrobe staple and even if you work in a factory or have a uniform that you wear for your 9-5, you will have an event which calls for one at some point, be it a wedding, Christening, funeral, barmitzvah or whatever, you will have one! Yes, you can wear separates but why not really look the part in a sharp suit.

Topman have a great range of suits right now and there's something to suit all tastes, skinny fit, slim fit and a range of suits at just £100
