Every once and a while you find yourself wanting to step out looking dapper. Today’s challenge was to create a fit using products from Zappos.com to create a preppy fit suitable for a nice evening out. Let’s dive into it!
Today’s shirt is from Kenneth Cole. The Kenneth Cole “New York” shirt is regular fit. The blue stripes are clean and not distracting, and will not clash with any of the other elements in the fit. –$62.99

When choosing a belt, one simple rule applies. Always match your belt with the color and or finish of the shoe’s you are wearing. This Ariat Work Belt is triple stitched and excellent quality, and matches the Clark Chukkas perfectly. –$33.95

To add some color to today’s fit, I’ve chose the French Connection Kent Trowser with a colored interior. When dressing preppy, splashes of color can help separate you from the pack. The red stands out, but doesn’t hurt any element of the fit. A great piece to have. –$98

Watch game today keeps it classy. Stainless steel is timeless, and the circular watch face solidifies your manhood (I can’t justify the rectangular faces). This Fossil CH2600 is a great watch that you’ll get a ton of wear out of, and will ring up for a great price. $95

So you’ve seen hypebeasts all over limited edition Nike Elite Socks? Welcome to the prep sock game. Invisible for most of the time you’ll be wearing today’s fit, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing you’re wearing some kick ass Stance Newbury socks. Flair is everything, and a proper sock game separates the men from the boys. $10
Finally, kicks of the day. The Clarks Desert Boot in the Oak colorway is as clean as it gets. The distressed suede gives some edge to your footwear, and the chukka mid-rise will allow for the French Connection trowser to peek through some of that brilliant red color. $120
