Imagine that you’ve just traveled through time to early 19th century London. Examine the splendid masonry of the old English buildings, and the sights of its historic streets and pavements embellished with classy cast-iron lamps. Everything feels different. The world you now rest your feet upon is infused with an air of heritage. Amidst the architecture, you’ve noticed the most prominent factor that represents this vintage atmosphere; the people.
You immediately recognize an evident difference between men of this era and yours. Most men on the street can be seen sporting an attractive overcoat with an inner waistcoat (which would eventually evolve into modern suits and vests), accompanied by matching trousers and a pair of proficiently shined leather shoes. A fine top hat adorns each of their heads, completing one of the most iconic looks of 19th-century fashion.
The men of this era carry an air of dignified confidence, stemming from the exquisite articles that they don. However, the art of dressing with dignity does not simply end at the apparel but extends into a contrivance of graciousness. Aware that he is a manifestation of dignity, a man of this bygone period carries out his actions with respect, conscious that such manners beget the same in return.
Let’s return to the 21st century. On the journey back, you watch as the threads of fashion gradually favored comfort over elegance. Consequently, the men of today are dressed for convenience and relaxation, but at the cost of class and etiquette. The days where sophistication drove fashion have gone adieu.
The striking idea behind this article, and many more to come is straightforward. To create an influence of dignified and stylish dressing among men.
Pretty much like wheels in motion, the trend moves in cycles. And today we see a growing circle of men faithfully dedicating their commitment to dignified dressing, staunchly believe fine dressing alludes to the pride and confidence we possess. After all, we strive to be distinguished rather than pedestrian. However, we must avoid coming across as grandiose or showy, for a man’s attire should articulate self respect-rather than self-importance.
The truth of that answer is without equal. In today’s world, image is king, and manners, values, and principles are its noble servants. A man dressed in dignity will inevitably see his actions and utterances lined with the confidence and respect of a man in control, and control is always in fashion.
