New Dandyism

Posted on May 2, 2007 Under Fashion

I love learning new words. Today I learned that a Dandy is “a man who affects extreme elegance in clothes and manners; a fop.” Online boutique New Dandyism addresses men’s fashion from the perspective that there has been a new cultural resurgence of dandyism. For them, the term metrosexual doesn’t cut it anymore– men these days truly have an appreciation for fashion as reflected in the astute modern interpretations of classical looks we’ve seen recently. Although their offerings are quite slim at this point, they’re selling some choice clothes (e.g. Loomstate Jeans and the new Rittenhouse line). New Dandyism is based in Norwood, Massachusetts, but hopefully that fact is immaterial to you, because they offer free shipping on everything if you’re in the contiguous U.S. or Canada. They also help us understand up and coming brands with informative interviews and posts to their blog.
