Been reading Dappered for a few months, first time poster on the forum. (and sorry for this lengthy first post)
Is the style discussed on this site actually timeless? (just trying to get some dialogue going, I have no agenda and it's not a segway to a point I'm trying to make)
I ask because I'm very much buying into Dappered. I like the mature, sharp style that everyone on here goes for. I'm finding myself using this site as a rough guideline for buying new clothes, and for the first time in a long time, I'm actually enjoying clothes (and watch) shopping. But, let's say, for an example, I was to go out and drop a few hundred on some AE Strands (which in all likelihood will be happening sometime this year), will these shoes actually remain stylish for 5, 10, 20 years down the road?
I'm currently 26, and I really haven't been able to observe if what's "dappered" now was "dappered" 10 years ago. All I can think back to is a time in middle school, looking through an American Eagle catalogue, and thinking how cool everyone in their loose sweaters and distressed jeans looked. Of course this seems absolutely ridiculous to me now, but is that because I've grown, or fashion has changed?
I guess, in summary, is style really timeless, or does it change more than we'd like to admit?
Discuss!
