The Dandy:

The ultimate elegant gentleman 

 

Ah, the joy of being a Dandy! 

Style isn't a question of life or death: it's much more important than that. 

 

"A Dandy should seek to be sublime without interruption; he should live and sleep in front of a mirror"  Charles Baudelaire 

 

 "However, unlike bohemians, Dandies chose to emulate the aristocracy rather than live in poverty." unknown 

 

 "Know first who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly." Epictetus 

 

  “Women should never be allowed to counsel men about clothes.”  George Frazier
