Long post with pictures!

The bi-annual weekend event has come again! In this article, I recount my Dapper Day Expo experience (like I did last time) by documenting some of my colleague’s great style and even give you a little sneak peak into the menswear presentation I did with Spencer.

Resources For Dressing Vintage and Vintage-Inspired

Dapper Day is finally here, and while I do like to write a post each time (to help you get dressed), I thought it would be helpful to compile a list of articles that I think can help you get started with vintage or vintage inspired style!

However there’s one main reason why I always return to vintage and that’s due to the details that they just don’t do anymore.
