Trendy, chic and affordable


And this is how it's done, from head to toe!  Fresh off an inspiring trip to Rome, Italy, this "Dapper Dan", Chris, was working this look today when he came into the store looking for a Spring scarf he'd seen in a Rome Benetton.  The thing that I admired the most, and something I look for in my clothing choices, is that though it is a very put together outfit, Chris made it look effortless and easy.  This works, in large part, because he is also well groomed. A sharp haircut and freshly shaven face can make an impeccable difference in one's overall appearance.  Bravo Chris for making it work!

So the theme for today (and my life in general) seems to be that I admire the shoes first.  And even if I don't, I definitely go quickly to that part.  Chris was wearing what looked like Sperry's, but when I asked if they were, he excitedly replied that they were from H&M.  A great buy at $29 and a deal he read about in one of my favorite magazines, GQ.  And speaking of great deals, his gorgeous trench is a great find from Armani Exchange, on sale for $89.  WOW!!! This boy knows how to shop.  We didn't get into where the rest of the outfit was from, but suffice it to say, I'm sure he did his shopping around and made out like a bandit.  The rest of the outfit was rounded out by a nice pair of khakis and beautiful grey v-neck sweater with a patterned button down.

Oh wait! Of course I asked if I could take his photo the minute he popped out those fabulous Ray Ban sunglasses.  I loved how dark black they were and I also loved the shape, a very good compliment to his own face shape.  And as Chris was leaving, I got a peek at his wrist.  And there was a BEA-UTIFUL black banded watch.  When I get a chance, I'll have top ask where it's from.  Or perhaps he'll share it here for you all.

So to all you readers, this is how you pull it together.  Many thanks to Chris for spending some extra time chatting with me about the purchases and the travels.  We should all be so lucky to travel the world while looking and feeling great.

Cheers,
The Chic Chanteur

  1. Oh my, I'm never coming in to shop again, lest I be put through this kind of scrutiny. Bravo, Chris, for making it through the gauntlet. Please, TCC, be kind to me if I ever come a-shoppin'.

  2. It's hardly scrutiny when you're doing all the right things. This is merely paying homage to young Chris, who is doing it so well. We'll make a post of you yet Gregory!
