Dandyism is a way of life.The following quotes are from an article in the Yale-New Haven article by Iola Apicella.It is a definitive treatise on Dandyism. Originally it was the appearance of the old french court nobility which the utilitarian middle class in England in the 19th century especially despised. "The air of superiority, irresponsibility, and inactivity". This is what the Dandy represented. "The Dandy pretended to be free of all human commitments, morality, passion-ambition". The french writers at the time, described him as such. Again, " He wasn't middle class, and drab, not stupid, and especially not trapped in a tedious existence. He wasn't rich, nor could compare with the people he liked to surround himself with" .This lack of means he made up with a delicacy and perfection of appearance. You don't have to subscribe to the philosophy, to benefit from the style.
