Style Ruled English Fops
Ry Mrs. Robert L. Dodd
Imagine a man spending two hours tying his necktie and insisting that the soles of his shoes are polished.
The Regency dandies were finking men.
The Regency period, 1811 to 1820,
was a glorious period in English
history.
AND THE KING of men's fashions was George Bryan Brummel.
When Beau Brummel wore a new clothing style, it became fashion, Englishmen, who could afford fine clothing, preferred styles which Brummell wore.
WHEN BRUMMEL starched his cravat, the tie resembled artwork rather than a bandage tied around a sore throat. His clothing reflected quality cloth, good lines and dark colors.
He stressed cleanliness. Ironically he was overcome by dirt, neglect and poverty and died in 1840.
But Brummel had set the fashion pace for Englishmen.
THE DANDY was the height of elegance and style from the top of his high-crowned beaver hat to the tips of his glossy boots. No unsightly crease ruined the neat intricacies of his tie. An excellence in tailoring shown in he super fit of his long-tailed coat and light-colored pantaloons.
Luxuriously-dressed men and women of the Regency period prom- enaded in the park, shopped and visited friends. The men also boxed, gambled and attended horse races and cock fights.
In the evening, London was alive with fashionably dressed women in bouffant skirted frocks of silks, satins, and velvents.
DRESSED IN their finery, the English men and women were out not so much to see as to be seen.
