So basic that you’d almost think this is satire (it’s not… I don’t think). But crazy designer logo tees, grubby cargo shorts, and [mattress/sneaker hybrids]( (snatresses!) can all push this seemingly basic combo off the rails. There’s a million ways to do it and look sharp, and it can be executed at all levels of style budgets. Got a suggestion for Shorts Sneakers T-Shirts? Send those into [joe@dappered.com](mailto:joe@dappered.com?subject=chinos%20chukkas%20and%20a%20polo). [Shorts Sneakers Tee Stripes] The T-Shirt: [J. Crew Slub jersey T-shirt in Deck Stripe – $22.50]( ($36.50). Hard to beat stripes, and the slub tees from J. Crew are well loved by plenty. Be warned they can shrink up a touch in the washer/dryer. A size medium on my 5’10″/190lb frame is just a touch too tight after being laundered (and I rarely shrink stuff in the wash). So if you’re in-between sizes, the suggestion is to size up for possible shrinkage. On sale often. The Shorts: [Goodthreads Men’s Slim-Fit 9″ Inseam Flat-Front Comfort Stretch Chino Shorts – $25](. The classic khaki short for summer, in a nicely trim but not tight fit, and no cargo pockets. That combo (slimmer fit, no cargos) goes a long way. Nice fabric here. 98% cotton/2% spandex chino is on the lighter weight side. NOT some thick pair of old dockers. But not paper thin or crinkly feeling either. Just right. The Sneakers: [OBRA 240 Canvas Low Wrap Toe – $130](. New favorites. Lightyears more substantial feeling than Chucks, but still super easy to wear and pair with just about anything. The materials and feel of the solid construction really are a noticeable few steps up. No full rubber cap toe like Chucks, but [the extra reinforced rubber]( around the edges gives it a nice look, and really does feel solid. Supportive cushioning. [Extra padding around the collar](. Made from industrial grade canvas that is slightly rigid right out of the box, breaks in shockingly well within 48 hours (at least they did for me, after I picked up my pair [during the recent big Huckberry sale](). I thought the blue heel tab would look/feel cheesy, but it’s anything but. It’s a [high quality, soft, grosgrain style fabric](, and I think it adds quite a bit to the look. Made in a family owned factory in Brazil. Total convert here. Love ’em. The Watch: [Seiko 5 Sports Automatic Black NATO – $200ish]( Seiko’s new-ish release into the diver market sure looks the part. [Full review here](. If you’re looking to go cheap, there’s always ol’ reliable, [the Casio Diver](. Just put it on [a Crown & Buckle Supreme NATO](, and you’ve got a super comfortable, hard wearing watch for the summer. The Sunglasses: [Ray-Ban Clubmaster Polarized 51mm – $126.99](. Too spendy? [Try Kent Wang](. Too small? Try the oversized/modernized [Clubmaster RB4175](. Those are shown at the very top of the post. The RB4175 are great for guys with bigger heads. The Belt: [Maikun Gray Canvas Belt w/ Silver D-ring – $10](. Cheap. Shipped by Amazon, so returns are easy if it doesn’t work out. But if it does, it’s a nice casual summer belt minus any “woven leather Dad just got back from a Tommy Bahama shopping spree” vibes. The Socks: [Bombas Men’s Merino Wool Golf Ankle Socks – $22](. Going with some ankle socks here because of how substantial the canvas is on the sneakers. You’ll want to break those sneakers in first before you go sockless or with no-shows. It’s certainly not sharp or irritating, but the tongue (while nicely finished) isn’t padded like a pair of runners or Stan Smiths. So, give your skin a little extra protection at first.

I know some people think they’re dorky, but I swear they’re enormously versatile, can look weirdly good, and go great dressed up or dressed down. Here’s some proof: - [Style Scenario: Budget 007, Meeting Mathis]( - [Style Scenario: Smart Casual Layers (nothing over $100)]( - [Style Scenario: Modern Mod (black and gray smart casual)]( - [How To Do Athleisure for Men – 9 Affordable Outfit Examples]( (check out the last, “smarter casual” outfit) A cardigan does not always = Mr. Rogers. Unless [that’s precisely what you’re going for](. They’re perfect for year-round use. Yes, even in the summer during unexpected cold snaps, after the sun goes down/before it comes up, or when the office AC gets weirdly aggressive. And unlike pullovers, taking it off/putting it on won’t leave your hair going 8000 different directions. Personally I stick with [merino from Amazon’s Goodthreads brand]( (literally wearing [the heathered gray right now]( with a navy t-shirt and some “light stone” lululemon ABC pants). Those merino cardigans are $40. But for twelve bucks more, you can now upgrade to the nicer, more dressed up leaning “Buttoned Down Brand” [and their 100% Cashmere cardigans](. Six colors. Almost all sizes at post time. 4.5/5 stars after 100+ reviews. Cashmere like merino regulates your temperature. And it’ll breathe much, much better than cheaper cotton or cotton blends. That, and cashmere is soft. Really, really soft. No idea why these have dropped so low in price, but… they have. No idea why [the Amazon exclusive brand Buttoned Down]( doesn’t get more support from Amazon, but, it seems to be close to forgotten [next to Goodthreads](. Huge thanks on the tip goes out to Matt T., who is almost certainly close to [busting out the seersucker (and lightsaber)]( again. That’s all. Carry on. I love that robe. And watching Snoop strut down a beach handing out beers. I don’t know why, but these commercials make me happy. ff/Dappered?a=TAH0s3R0OkE:EkRy4Jj_9ew:yIl2AUoC8zA ff/Dappered?a=TAH0s3R0OkE:EkRy4Jj_9ew:qj6IDK7rITs ff/Dappered?a=TAH0s3R0OkE:EkRy4Jj_9ew:gIN9vFwOqvQ [Steal(?)

[SEAT’S TAKEN]( Fine, jerk. Don’t want to breathe in your boo berry breath anyway. No good fancy pants. Not all of us “get” Mr. Porter. To get excited about a [$1000 hooded sweatshirt]( being marked down to $630 seems absurd. Then again, there’s an enormous part of the world who would view getting excited about [$400 wingtips getting marked down to $275](, just as absurd. Perspective is a funny thing. Always crafted by individual experiences, yet that crucial variable is rarely if ever recognized in the most critical moments. [Mr Porter Sale Steal Alert 6721] - [Common Projects Original Achilles Leather-Trimmed Nubuck Sneakers – $276]( ($460) - [Common Projects Original Achilles Leather Sneakers – $230]( ($460) - [Mr. P Larry Suede Sneakers – $177]( ($295) That’s a bummer for Larry. - [Oris Divers Sixty-Five Automatic 42mm watch – $1592]( ($1990) - [Oris Divers Navy Dial Automatic Bronze/Stainless 40mm watch- $1496]( ($1870) - [Q Timex Reissue Cola Bezel 38mm Stainless Steel Watch – $100]( ($200) - [M79 Automatic 40mm Stainless Steel Watch – $167.50]( ($335) - [Baracuta G9 Suede Harrington Jacket – $455]( ($910) - [Filson Dryden Leather-Trimmed CORDURA Backpack – $135]( ($225) - [Mr. P Unstructured Virgin Wool-Blend 3-Button Jersey Blazer – $216]( ($360) Hey look. Common Projects are on sale. Mr. Porter rarely runs sales. And when they do, the #menswear nerds usually pounce on this stuff pretty quick. Tried to stick to picks above that would feel more like the website you’re reading now. Most of what Mr. Porter carries is super expensive, pretty high fashion stuff.
