Girl Gallery: 25 Days of Dapper

Posted byLaura

481567_10151158042276260_363800806_n What happens after hundred of queers spend a week together on a mountaintop? Do they forget each other? Fall in love? Meet up every year? I don't know about all those, but I do know that some of the kids who have attended Autostraddle's bi-annual A-Camp event get together and organize a 25 days of dapper project wherein they bless the rest of us with daily pictures of their sexy selves via our Facebook feed all December long.

Now we're bringing their pictures to Autostraddle so that everyone can enjoy the dapperness. Feel free to live through them vicariously if you got a dress instead of the wingtips you were hoping for this morning or drop by just to let them know how handsome they look.

So, dapper = hipster glasses and vests in at least half of these shots. Such a done look. Can we not branch out a bit more?

  Go scrooge someplace else. This was something we all had fun doing. And every single one of us felt loved and supported. Which means it was a win.

    What she said. And some of us have hipster glasses because we’re super nerdy and blind and our coke bottle glasses don’t like to fit in dainty frames. If that just happens to be overdone, at least I still have comfy glasses out of the deal.

  I thought it was “Dapper = Women who dress like the Tenth and Eleventh Doctor.” I never see this look on women irl. If it’s overdone in your neighborhood, send them my way. Hello, Sweetie…

Ooof. You’re all too sexy.
PS Number 24 looks so skeptical of her sunglasses. I would totally volunteer my time to persuading her of the cuteness of said sunglasses.

That’s it.

I just need to move to the Northern Hemisphere.

How can everyone who reads this site be so adorable? I think that should be statistically impossible but it’s apparently not.

I realized while looking through these that a year ago, I hadn’t found Autostraddle yet, and I thought I had no interest whatsoever in fashion. Although I knew I was genderqueer by that point, I thought that since I am technically female, fashion = women’s fashion. I am so glad that I realized at some point that I can dress great by being dapper instead of feminine. I am now actually sort of into fashion, and it feels so bizarre to admit that.

It’s kind of like when I realized I like girls after always assuming I was straight, except this time I realized I like fashion after years of thinking of fashion as frivolous and boring.

This gallery is awesome and this looks like so much fun. You all are definitely style inspirations to this men’s-department-shy commenter (who is now breaking out of third person wtf that was weird)…as well as being dapper as FUCK.

Just got back from a straight-as-fuck family visit to Hawaii where I felt super out of place, gender-performance-wise. Coming home to this gallery almost brought me to tears. You all look so fly. Thanks for reminding me that we look damn good in our dapper clothes, and that I’m not alone in thinking so.
