"A well dressed man paired with manners & chivalry make a suave, sophisticated gentleman."
Daryl, here, aka Dapper Daryl. Fashion, photography, music, pop-culture, the arts, and daily lifestyle are all passions and interests of mine. It's my purpose to help every man wanting to become a better version of himself to do so - starting with appearance and lifestyle. There's a quote I stick by, "When you look better, you do better."
Fall is without a doubt my favorite season of the year. The cool, crisp air, changing colors of the trees, and the countdown until the holiday season - I love everything about Fall, especially the fashion.
If you're in the Midwest like me, you know all about waking up and the weather being 50 degrees outside yet when you l...
Spring is finally here which means a refresh and update on everything — your home, car, and wardrobe. Most men don't update their spring wardrobe and definitely not their office attire, but even your office style is deserving of a little updating. This could mean removing clothing layers, choosing more spring-ish colors,...
Some people may say they have more important things to worry about or just simply don't care how they look, but it's 2019, lets stop pretending appearance has no importance and talk about why we all should give a d**n about how we look. I'm not saying your appearance should be at the top of your priority list, but I am sa...
Many people look at celebrities and idolize them and their ever-fashionable wardrobe. I think we all wish we could "get the look" but suddenly realize we only have gas money and a chipotle gift card with $15.25 remaining to last us the next week. What a hard life right!? We all just want to wake up, ball, shot call, and l...
There are some perks to having a small apartment - cheaper rent, typically closer to downtown or city life, and less space to clean :) However, the struggle many people face with having a small apartment is just that - the space! Having a small space provides a challenge for many people making it difficult to furnish simp...
I am absolutely obsessed with my DIY LED backlit green wall foliage!
Before we get too far into the details, here's a little backstory....Since I moved in my place back in April, I had no idea what to do with this space. Pretty much every area of my apartment was decorated except for this space because nothing "felt" or lo...
One rule of thumb when living/visiting in a big city, you should prepare for your entire day before you leave your home, hotel, or Airbnb in the morning. No one wants to waste time or money having to transport to and from home more than once in the same day to do inconvenient activities like having to change from work clo...
Cheers to having talented, artistic friends! I'm sure we've all seen random local-inspired creations at various stores, markets, and boutiques, however, I think this 11x14 Toledo map is my all-time favorite locally inspired masterpiece! I cannot wait to find the perfect wall space where this beauty will adorn my home.
So, can we talk a little bit about how epic my friends and I halloween celebration was! First of all, we KILLED our Fab 5 crew recreation from the Netflix show, Queer Eye. Secondly, we got the official stamp of approval from 3 of the Fab 5 members - literally! Karamo reposted our photo on his Instagram story saying, "Love...
It's been a while since I've shared an update on the progress of my new apartment. I've been in my new digs for about 2 full months now and I've been loving every bit of it. I think a fun fact to note is that I've yet to cook a meal in my new place - I've either gone home (Mom's house) or to chipotle for dinner for 2 mo...
