For 364 days out of the year green takes a back seat to blue, black, grey, and a host of other colors. But not on St. Patrick’s day. That’s the one day when Green reigns supreme. In honor of Green and St. Patrick’s Day, here’s our annual list of our favorite green things, of which, Kermit THEE Frog (hi ho!) will always be #1. A Green Gingham or Check Button Down [A Green Gingham Button Down](//www.gap.com/browse/product.do?vid=1&pid=715635002) - [Goodthreads Green Gingham Shirt – $20ish]( - [GAP Performance Poplin Shirt in Green Gingham – $40ish]( - [J. Crew Factory Gingham Regular Flex Casual Shirt – $25ish](//factory.jcrew.com/p/mens-clothing/shirts/regular/gingham-regular-flex-casual-shirt/AF845?color_name=venetian-green&noPopUp=true) - [Charles Tyrwhitt Button-Down Collar Non-Iron Stretch Poplin Gingham Shirt – $39.95](//www.ctshirts.com/us/button-down-collar-non-iron-stretch-poplin-gingham-shirt---light-green/CSN0243LGN.html?) - [Brooks Brothers Gingham Sport Shirt – $37.15](//www.brooksbrothers.com/Gingham-Broadcloth-Sport-Shirt/RG00488,default,pd.html) ($49.50) Break free from the blue and white shirt tyranny! Yes, plenty of us like having [mostly light blue and white shirts in our closet](. But green gingham is a great way to step outside (yet not too far outside) the box. Looks great with a navy or grey sportcoat, under sweaters, or with a solid knit tie. [Suitsupply Dark Green Wool/Silk/Linen/Cashmere Havana Jacket – $499]( [Suitsupply Dark Green Wool/Silk/Linen/Cashmere Havana Jacket]( Pretty much incontrovertible proof that green works and works great in the world of menswear. That whole look is nails. Easy. Fresh. Comfortable. Perfect for the warmer, brighter days ahead. Ships and returns for free since it’s Suitsupply. [J. Crew SLIM Garment-dyed Slub Cotton Crewneck T-shirts – $29.50](//www.jcrew.com/p/mens_category/tshirts/slim-garmentdyed-slub-cotton-crewneck-tshirt/J1807?color_name=baywood-green) [J. Crew SLIM Garment-dyed Slub Cotton Crewneck T-shirts](//www.jcrew.com/p/mens_category/tshirts/slim-garmentdyed-slub-cotton-crewneck-tshirt/J1807?color_name=baywood-green) One of J. Crew’s most loved items. Slub cotton here, so there’s that variation to the fabric. Pocket at the chest keeps it from looking undershirt-y. Lots of colors to pick from, four of which happen to be green or green-ish. [Banana Republic Slim LUXE City Pant with Core Temp Technology – $98]( [Banana Republic Slim LUXE City Pant with Core Temp Technology]( Was just half off during Friends and Family, so, being patient could net serious savings. These are BR’s shot at bike commuting pants, and more than a few seem to say there about as close to Lululemon as BR gets (and some of us are HUGE fans of [the Lululemon warpstreme line](1100l8fEx/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fshop.lululemon.com%2Fsearch%3FNtt%3Dwarpstreme%2520men%2527s%2520pants)). Those stripes on the INSIDE of the trouser legs are reflective for high vis at night (cycling, hoverboard, jetpack, etc). 48% cotton, 48% nylon, 4% spandex here, and they’re claiming stretch, wrinkle resistance, quick dry, etc. The works. Got a pair on the way. But they might run true slim? So, consider sizing up. [adidas Stan Smith Primegreen Sneakers – $85 – $100]( [adidas Stan Smith Primegreen Sneakers]( Is leather dead (sorry) to adidas? These new “Primegreen” sneakers are made from “a series of high-performance recycled materials” and “no virgin polyester.” Haven’t seen them in person yet, but they sure look the business from here. Shown at the very top of the post is an older pair of upgraded leather Stan Smith “recons.” Those used to flutter in and out of stock, but if adidas is “committed to only using recycled polyester by 2024″… is leather then on the outs? [Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical 38mm – $400ish]( ($495) [Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical 38mm]( So the dial is black on this particular model, but the STRAP is green. And a classic field watch like this certainly does say “take me outside… please.” 38mm in diameter. Manual wind mechanical movement. 80 hour, yes 80 hour power reserve when fully wound. Full review [here](. [Spier and Mackay Dark Brown & Green Geometric Wool Pocket Square – $28]( [Spier and Mackay Dark Brown & Green Geometric Wool Pocket Square]( Just in, along with [a bunch of other pretty dang nice looking pocket squares](, for spring/summer 2021. Spier knows fabrics, so, this thing should feel and look like the real deal. Price drops to $20 if you buy 2 or more. [Old Navy Slim Ultimate Built-In Flex Chino Pants in “Rogue River” – $14.97]( [Old Navy Slim Ultimate Built-In Flex Chino Pants in "Rogue River"]( Fifteen dollars? Good grief. Their flagship chino. And that “rogue river” greenish blue/blueish green/grayish blue gree (oh you get the idea) is all kinds of right. Still on sale for under $20, and now an extra 25% off drops select colors, like this one, down to $15. [UNIQLO Extra Fine Merino V in Green – $14.90]( FINAL ($39.90) [UNIQLO Extra Fine Merino V-Neck Sweater]( A true 4-season sweater. Thin but strong thanks to the 100% merino wool construction. Looks great with jeans, and looks mighty smart under a medium or light gray suit with a white or light blue shirt. [Banana Republic Motion Tech Rain Coat – $150ish]( ($249) [BR Motion Tech Rain Coat]( Dead simple. Which is terrific. Can be worn super dressed down (as shown above) OR dressed up with a suit and tie. And with everything in between. Big fan of the dead-simple Mac style raincoat. And this one, in green, could be a great way to mix in some contrast if you wear blue/navy a lot. [Crown and Buckle “Bond” Supreme NATO Watch Strap – $34]( [Crown and Buckle "Bond" Supreme NATO Watch Strap]( Crown and Buckle’s Supreme Nato straps are the best in the business. It ain’t close. Yes $34 for a NATO strap seems spendy, but the smoothness of the weave, the comfort of the strap, and the excellent brushed/slightly angled at the edges hardware is so much better than cheap straps. So, so much better. But they haven’t had an olive/black/red “og Bond” option… until now. Available in multiple widths. Looks just as good on a cheap watch (as shown at the very top of the post) as it does on a spendy one. [Bonobos Extra Stretch Travel Jean in Greensboro Willow – $99]( [Bonobos Extra Stretch Travel Jean in Greensboro Willow]( An updated, stretchier version of their hugely popular travel jean. Full review coming next week, but, they’re good. Quite good. Size shown above on Jason (5’7″/175) is a 32×28 in Athletic Fit. His advice: consider sizing down one waist size. [Made in Italy Astorflex “Greenflex” Desert Boots – $160]( [Made in Italy Astorflex "Greenflex" Desert Boots]( CHEATING! I know, they aren’t the “color” green, but, c’mon. It’s right there in the name! A chukka that’s eco-friendly and proud of it. Constructed from natural materials and made in a way that’s environmentally responsible. A noticeable upgrade over Clarks (no knock on Clarks, they make an incredible product for the price). Made in Italy. Super soft suede. Natural rubber textured sole. Super comfortable. [Banana Republic Untucked Slim-Fit Organic Cotton Shirt – $40ish]( [Untucked Slim-Fit Organic Cotton Shirt]( Fun shirt. FUN SHIRT. HEY LOOK EVERYONE IT’S A GUY IN A FUN SHIRT. A bit of “pop” after the long dark winter that was. The saturated dark teal is bold without being a neon base. [Lorier Falcon Series II in Green/Gilt – $499]( [Lorier Falcon Series II in Green/Gilt]( Was green the on-trend color for watches in 2020? Still carrying over into 2021? Blends in, but totally doesn’t at the same time. Full review of the Lorier Falcon (albeit in a different color) [can be found here](. [Flint & Tinder Flannel Lined Waxed Trucker Jacket in Moss – $240]( [Flint & Tinder Flannel Lined Waxed Trucker Jacket]( While the rich brown shades [like “Havana” and “Field Tan”]( might get the most love, some of us think the dark green “Moss” is the boss. Made in the USA and built for the long haul. Waxed cotton exterior. Soft flannel lining. Gets better with age, so be prepared to wear it and wear it often, and to enjoy how it changes as it grows older. Seems like sizes are starting to dwindle on this green shade though. Fingers crossed for a restock? [Allen Edmonds Strandmok in Olive Suede – $365]( [Allen Edmonds Strandmok in Olive Suede]( Certainly not GREEN green, but, that’s good. Because that leaning gray olive shade of suede is just neutral enough to go with all sorts of warmer weather wear. And hey, come fall? Why not wear them with dark wash jeans too? Rubber plants [The Dappered Space: 10 Upgrades for the Stylish Study] “[Whoops there goes another rubber tree]( Dappered Space suggestion here. I don’t know how we at the Dappered home offices first acquired a rubber tree plant, but, we now have three or four. The leaves are thick, dark green, and have somewhere between a matte and gloss look to them. The branches are good and thick, and the plant as a whole is hearty. We’ve had some for years upon years. Some have grown so tall that we have to keep them inside tomato cages… indoors. [Orient Kamasu Green Dial Automatic Diver – $280]( [Orient Kamasu Green Dial Automatic Diver]( Toothy. Bit of a stunner in person. That green is subtle in all the right ways. There were some scattered reports of crown issues (as in, the thing would just pull straight out all of a sudden) so be aware, and get that 1 year warranty by buying from Orient. [Stanley 64 oz Growler Set – $68]( [Stanley 64 oz Growler Set]( Socially distanced outdoor happy hour anyone? Stanley’s hammertone green metal growlers, flasks, and other containers are… iconic, no? As iconic as a hunk of metal can be. [Nike Killshot Green Swoosh – $90 (sold out??)](//www.nike.com/t/killshot-2-leather-mens-shoe-zrq1wk/432997-111) [Nike Killshot](//www.nike.com/t/killshot-2-leather-mens-shoe-zrq1wk/432997-111) WHERE. DID. THEY. GO. Well, at least the Navy Swoosh is on sale. And if you’re desperate for some old-school looking Nike kicks, [their Blazer Low is down to $47](//www.nike.com/t/blazer-low-leather-mens-shoe-4w5Mgj/CI6377-108). [Filson Original Briefcase in Otter Green – $325]( [Filson Original Briefcase in Otter Green]( Made in the USA. A total classic. Most guys will favor the navy or tan options, but the Otter Green, while more casual, has been a companion to many. If that’s not “green” enough for you? [There’s the new “Hemlock” option](. Now THAT is green. [J. Crew Wallace & Barnes Slim-fit Chore Blazer in Cotton-Linen – $150](//www.jcrew.com/p/mens_category/brandswelove/blazers/wallace-barnes-slimfit-chore-blazer-in-cottonlinen/G6710?color_name=hillside-green) [J. Crew Wallace & Barnes Slim-fit Chore Blazer in Cotton-Linen]( From J. Crew’s heritage workwear inspired line, Wallace and Barnes. Decent starting price here. But, it’s post bankruptcy J. Crew. So one can expect some discounts. Four colors to pick from. [Timex MK1 Mechanical 36mm Archive Field Watch – $185]( [Timex MK1 Mechanical 36mm Archive Field Watch]( 36mm diameter and 18mm lugs. Sticking true to it’s roots, this thing is powered by a hand-wound (mechanical) movement. It’s not quartz. And it’s not an automatic. This thing should go with all kinds of casual wear, and quickly become a daily partner for those who spend most of their time dressed down. [Full review here](. [Banana Republic 9″ Slim Core Temp Short – $40ish]( [Banana Republic 9" Slim Core Temp Short]( For when it warms up. Core Temp fabric helps keep you cool and moves with you, while the 9″ inseam is neither too short nor too long. [O’Keeffe’s Working Hands Hand Cream – $7.99]( [O'Keeffe's Working Hands Hand Cream on Dappered.com]( Using this as much as ever with all the hand washing. This stuff is the real deal, while most other hand creams are pretenders. It works. Period. If you’re the type who has calluses and scraped up knuckles and split thumbs (the worst) yet STILL knows how to look sharp? Then this’ll help prevent you from bleeding all over a favorite shirt or suit at the most inopportune time. I’ve been there myself. [Danner 917 in Java Brown w/ Green Laces – $220]( [Danner 917 in Java Brown w/ Green Laces]( Yes, I know just the laces are green. But the boots themselves are straight-up amazing. Legitimately some of the most comfortable boots I’ve ever owned. They’re still boots. They’ve got some structure and a bit of toughness. But they’re not gonna weigh you down either. Full grain leather uppers, waterproof & breathable, and the perfect blend of country durability and city-dwelling comfort. Good Lume – Priceless Lume = the luminocity of your wristwatch’s glow-in-the-dark properties. Great for when you wake up in an unfamiliar location (hotel, friend’s place, behind some begonias) and don’t know where the nearest clock radio happens to be. Good lume can be found on everything from super cheap watches to super expensive watches. As can weak lume. Best way to charge it up is to get those hands and indices exposed to UV light. Such as, y’know, the sun. [So wear your good stuff out and about](. Full review of the watch shown above [can be found here](. [J. Crew Lightweight Sunfaded French Terry Sweatshirt – $69.50](//www.jcrew.com/p/mens_category/50_off_select_sale/clothing/lightweight-sunfaded-french-terry-sweatshirt/AL962?color_name=lagoon-green) [J. Crew Lightweight Sunfaded French Terry Sweatshirt](//www.jcrew.com/p/mens_category/50_off_select_sale/clothing/lightweight-sunfaded-french-terry-sweatshirt/AL962?color_name=lagoon-green) For those who are ready to cast off the heavy, “cozy” wintery sweats and transition to… uh… springtime sweats. Slub cotton gives it that ready for warm weather texture. Sunfaded. Pocket at the chest. For a sweatshirt being such a basic thing, it sure seems like J. Crew nailed it with this new arrival. [Flint and Tinder Quilted Flight Jacket – $188]( [Flint and Tinder Quilted Flight Jacket]( Another winner from Flint and Tinder. Flight jacket good looks, quilted for a little bit of extra warmth (but not too much), and all of the function and utility you’d expect from F&T. Full review here. [A Green Tipped Cotton or Linen Pocket Square – $10.00](//www.thetiebar.com/product/PC019) [A Green Tipped Cotton or Linen Pocket Square](//www.thetiebar.com/product/PC019) Adds a nice shot of alternate color if you’re doing the all jeans/blazer thing. Looks plenty fine with a medium grey suit + light blue shirt too. Pictured above is an Italian linen pocket square via J. Crew (that’s now sold out), but [TheTieBar has you covered for cheap](//www.thetiebar.com/product/PC019). Want something with a green base? [Try this windowpane/check pattern option for $12](. [Suitsupply Mid Green Havana Fit Cotton Sportcoat – $259]( [Suitsupply Mid Green Havana Fit Cotton Sportcoat]( One of the more affordable jackets that Suitsupply makes. 97% cotton and 3% spandex here. Ships and returns for free. Wear it in the heat with lightweight chinos, and then layer up with it in the fall/winter with dark wash jeans. [Beckel Canvas Made in the USA War Bag – $110]( [Beckel Canvas Made in the USA War Bag]( Made in the USA from 20 oz canvas, beefy cotton webbing, and leather accents. At 2700+ cubic inches, it’s got enough space for a weekend away, yet still fits most carry-on requirements. Perfect shade of green, with the leather and cotton webbing contrast looking extra sharp. Shades of a vintage sports car with this color combo. A favorite. Shoulder strap will cost you an extra $15. Kinda bummed about that. [Spier & Mackay Bottle Green Fresco Wool Jacket]( & [Trouser – $606]( [Spier & Mackay Bottle Green Fresco Wool Suit]( Dang Spier. Side tabs on the trouser and everything. You’re fancy. [Simple Green All-purpose Cleaner – $14.40]( Another [Dappered Space]( pick. I use this stuff every day. Seriously. [Clean your place](. Gone, but not forgotten: Jameson Gold Reserve (no longer produced) [Jameson Gold Reserve] Man. Man… they don’t make it anymore. Selected casks, maturation in three different woods, and a much rounder, less rigid version of Jameson. Unlike their other options, the Gold Reserve is partially aged in virgin oak. So it’s the first stuff to hit that wood, and the end result is a nice amount of mellowed out vanilla flavor. Hints of bread pudding spread with a small dab of stone fruit compote. Thought it was better than their 12-year and 18-year options, Red Breast 12 or 15, Green or Yellow Spot, Knappogue Castle, Tyrconnell or Tyroconnell’s Sherry Cask, Teeling, Teeling Single Grain, and Teeling Revival. No idea why they discontinued it. Have a safe St. Patrick’s Day, and remember, green beer looks just as bad coming back up as it did going down. ff/Dappered?a=oQ3lv3KNaZM:tTzvMMuDIrc:yIl2AUoC8zA ff/Dappered?a=oQ3lv3KNaZM:tTzvMMuDIrc:qj6IDK7rITs ff/Dappered?a=oQ3lv3KNaZM:tTzvMMuDIrc:gIN9vFwOqvQ [Steal Alert: Huckberry Victory Made in the USA Sneakers are on sale](r/Dappered/~3/1Yg5OoqZt5c/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email) Posted: 16 Mar 2021 08:28 AM PDT Heads up: Buying via our links may result in us getting a commission. Also, we take your privacy rights seriously. Head [here]( to learn more. [Victory Sportswear Huckberry Exclusive Sneakers – $194.98]( ($230) It’s 100% understandable if more than a few will give this “steal” alert a side eye, being that we’re still talking two Benjamins for a pair of sneakers (especially when you can get [some Saucony lookalikes for $50](//www.zappos.com/p/saucony-originals-jazz-low-pro-charcoal-red-sp-2013/product/7208295/color/422587)). But they really are something. Handmade in Massachusetts from really, really nice materials. Handsome as all get out. Legitimate cushioning and support. And that nubby Vibram sole is resoleable (yes really). They also go with tons of casual stuff. I was lucky enough to buy a pair of the previous design (which had [a bit more blue](), and I wear them a ton. Like, all the time. [See them in action over here]( in the header image. Ships and returns for free. It’s not a massive sale, but, 15% off is just enough to get them under $200. And I don’t think they’ve ever gone on sale before? Big thanks to Joseph M. for the tip here. That’s all.

[The Dappered Space]( is a series designed to help guys apply the sense of personal style they’ve developed to the space they inhabit. Watch for articles on furniture and decor sales & picks, advice on how to style a room or work space, and tackling creating a space that reflects your own (and perhaps a significant other’s) personal tastes. We’ll suggest items that can be sourced online, but always keep in mind that deals can be found at consignment and thrift stores, local stores with floor models, discount stores, and even yard sales. [nuLOOM Esperanza 5′ x 8′ Modern Abstract Area Rug – $118.86]( These rugs with leather woven in has become a trend, and a great trend for decorating a masculine leaning space. Proof that [grey and brown]( do work together, and a both handsome and affordable way to add some decor to your floor. Also available in a 7.5′ x 9.5′ size, but you gotta pay for more rug. [Umbra Cubist Multi Planter Shelf – $100]( The genius of this shelving unit is the planters are built directly into it. But hey, if you don’t have a green thumb you could just place some other objects in there. It could hold a newspaper or rolled up magazines? Or maybe some decorative branches or what not. Use your imagination. [Dead Rooster Co. Grilling Spice Set – $26]( Grilling season is not far off. And maybe grilling season is year round for you, weather be damned. However you roll, this three pack of dry rubs from Dead Rooster Co. look very tasty. I guess the star of the show is that Black Gold rub, and is sounds perfect for steak. [Uma Teak Stool – $120]( This eye catching teak stool is perfect for a naturalists decor. Use it as a stand as seen above, or as actual seating somewhere in your space. It also seems like it could make a cool side table, but be sure to measure the space where you would place it to make sure it’s tall enough for your needs. [Gourmet Basics by Mikasa Graphite Large Beverage Tub – $69.99]( Yep, you can just use an Igloo cooler. But if you want to class up a get together (maybe those will start to happen again in the coming months?), this is definitely a step above. It’s a nice size for the price, and I guess it’s relatively lightweight. Heck, one of the reviewers even shared photos of how they use it for firewood. Put whatever you want in it. Point is, it’s functional and decorative. [Dorothy Outdoor Coffee Table – $139.99](//www.worldmarket.com/product/large+round+gray+dotted+dorothy+outdoor+coffee+table.do?sortby=ourPicks&from=fn) //www.worldmarket.com/product/large+round+gray+dotted+dorothy+outdoor+coffee+table.do?sortby=ourPicks&from=fn Best to cover it in inclement weather, but this table is a far cry from the metal frame and glass top cheapies you might find at the likes of Rite Aid. Surround with some good looking [outdoor chairs](, top with a [table top fire pit]( for ambiance, and you have a nice little set up for a chat with friends.
