Dandies, when first-rate, are generally very agreeable men


"Oh! save me, ye powers, from these pinks of the nation,
These tea-table heroes! these lords of creation." - Salmagundi
It really is strange how the internet has changed the world of the dandy; dandyland if you will. These well dressed charlatans are going through a bit of a renaissance thanks to the digital camera and the blogosphere. Dandyism is a popular site for men of discerning and wannabes alike. The scribes of that site recently got an article published in "L'uomo Vogue" about these so called digital dandies. Chief among them is Winston Chesterfield, a 24 year old Londoner who presents his sartorial creations on his blog. Now, This Bachelor always warns against getting too caught up in clothes because it takes away from more noble pursuits like drinking, eating, and chasing skirts. However, I like the cut of Mr. Chesterfield's gib. It's important to present yourself well and we can all learn a thing from this digital dandy. After all, this is the company he keeps.
