It’s time to put on your dresses and dress shoes.
It’s Dapper Day Tuesday!

        

Did you know? There is an entire website devoted to the lifestyle of being dapper.
 It contains tips and tricks for being dapper, online catalogs for different kinds of dapper
 clothing – from modern prep to formal dresswear – and much more. Everything about
 this little website is dapper, even the design and logo of the website itself! And it takes a
 lot of work to be so dapper – this website uses about fourteen different widgets and
 libraries of code.
Check it out! -> https://beingdapper.com/



Did you know? There was a man named Abdulahi Olatoyan who worked as a windshield
 wiper in southwest Nigeria – and he always wore a dapper suit and tie while he worked.
 Abdulahi was a university dropout who was looking to work his way back to college and
 finish his education, even working his way up there using a squeegee wiper. The head 
of a huge Nigerian fashion company saw pictures of him online and made an Instagram 
post asking any of his 18,000 followers to track Abdulahi down so he could offer him a
 job as a model. The CEO felt that Abdulahi was the sort of man who could inspire fashion
 in others, no matter what situation he was in. And he was right! Abdulahi is a very 
successful model and fashion icon within the company now.
