'And then there was the Dandy....The figure is often confused with that of the 18C Fop; it is in fact the opposite. Far from showy, the dandy dresses very plainly, but he dresses to perfection: not a line or crease or hair out of place. He does not dazzle the company with his wit, but speaks little and soberly; animation might disarrange the folds of his neckcloth. But in this austere mood of ambulant fashion-plate he permits himself from time to time a repartee that wounds and is worth repeating.' -jacques barzun
