There's no one way to participate in Dapper Day. Rather, choosing a refined or memorable ensemble, from the '20s, '50s, or even the modern era, serves as a starting point. Parasols, boater hats, and gloves make the scene.

Many Dapper Day fans look to exquisite details and touches, such as a gem on a headband, to complete their outfit. If you're participating, something basic and lovely is just fine, but think "wow," too, as you dress.

How to join in? Find something elegant and wear it, and buy your ticket to the park or parks. That's required, of course, for entry. As for eras? Even decades long before Disneyland's 1955 start are very welcome.
