Step
Method 1 of 3: Planning a Dapper Style
Step 1. Create a Pinterest account if you don't have one
Look for “Dapper,” “Dapper Man” or “Dapper Style” in the search bar. Then, make a board and fill it with all the settings and accessories you like the most.
After using Pinterest for a few weeks, it's likely that you'll be able to see the themes in your selection. Use the site as your virtual wardrobe
Step 2. Check “Dappered
com” for style suggestions.
On this site, you will find reviews of fashionable menswear and suggestions for a stylish approach to wear. Fill your gaps in dapper makeup, watches and even swimwear by browsing the expert styles section of the site.
Step 3. Look for some style icons

Step 4. Buy GQ magazine
While styles tend to be too expensive to copy, you can emulate them by shopping at H&M, J Crew, Uniqlo, Topman and ASOS.
Method 2 of 3: Choosing Outfits
Step 1. Buy clothes in your own measurements
First, pull out suits and shirts that fit your style but may be too big. Most men buy clothes one size larger.
Step 2. Find a good tailor
Look in local newspapers, yellow pages and online directories for local tailors who can adjust the size of your suits, pants and shirts to fit perfectly. If you're looking to save money, look for freelance tailors rather than shop-skilled ones, as they'll likely give you a good price for sewing lots of clothes.
Step 3. Start with the shoes
If you don't have an oxford, wingtip, derby or loafer, buy a pair. Choose leather, keep it weather-resistant and polish it regularly, and the shoes will last for years.
- For a sportier look, try the military-inspired Chukka boots.
- Popular brands include Clark's, Steve Madden and Sperry Top Sider.
- Look for bids on eBay, Amazon or Overstock.
Step 4. Move to the jeans
You can look dapper in jeans, but start with body-fitting jeans with selvedge weave edges in dark colors. Sew when the length touches the ground,
Step 5. Buy a suit if you can't fit the size of the suit you already have at the tailor
Look for sales of suits that fit your body, also at Brook's Brothers, Macy's or Men's Warehouse. Some clothing stores also provide tailoring at no extra cost, although you usually have to pay for the service.
Step 6. Put together a collection of blazers and suits
That dapper style can be mixed and matched, so you can wear a classic blazer with jeans, suit pants, trousers and a shirt. Shop at J Crew or search thrift and classic stores for a fitted blazer or one you can fix for a low price.
Step 7. Buy a good collection of shirts
Replace the T-shirt with colored, white, plaid, patterned and striped shirts. Look for sales at The Gap, J Crew, Urban Outfitters and at the mall, and pick out shirts whenever you can.
Make sure your sleeves are long enough. When wearing shirts and coats, about 0.6 cm of shirt cuffs should be visible from the ends of the sleeves
Method 3 of 3: Adding Accessories to a Dapper Style
Step 1. Buy a belt that matches your shoes
Wear a belt with jeans, a suit and trousers. You can choose a military style belt, with a nice buckle or leather. Choose shades of brown or black.
When buying a belt, you need one that is two sizes above your waist. If your waist is a size 30, you will need a belt size 32. The military belt is adjustable
Step 2. Use a pocket handkerchief
Fold it in half twice then put it in your pocket with half an inch showing. Match the color of the pocket handkerchief with the color of your shirt or tie.
Step 3. Buy socks without thinking about the price
Men's bright, patterned socks show a bit of style and color. However, socks are only seen occasionally. The socks show a complete commitment to a dapper style.
Step 4. Wear cufflinks for a more dapper outfit
Buy a shirt that requires cufflinks to wear to parties, weddings, and other events. Buy metal cufflinks.
Step 5. Buy a watch
While you can use your phone to check the time, a round watch complete with hands is essential for a dapper dress style. Choose an explorer watch or another good watch that has a leather or metal strap.
Step 6. Master about ties
You don't need to wear a tie every day, but a four in hand or windsor style tie is a nice touch. Take out the bow tie for special events and garden parties.
