Just Dandy

Everybody looked overdressed, or badly dressed - some, indeed, looked positively dirty - beside him. His clothes seemed to melt into each other with the perfection of their cut and the quiet harmony of their colour. Without a single point of emphasis everything was distinguished...he was the personification of freshness and cleanliness and order...That 'certain exquisite propriety' stamped his whole being, and made him appear cool, refined and debonair among the gentlemen who talked only of sport. - Virginia Woolf on the most famous dandy in British history, George Beau Brummell.

Men's fashion may not be as ostentatious as it was back in George's day but I like to think dandyism lives on in more subtle ways.
