The beginnings of dandyism in France were bound up with the politics of the French revolution; the initial stage of dandyism, the gilded youth, was a political statement of dressing in an aristocratic style in order to distinguish its members from the sans-culottes.
During his heyday, Beau Brummell’s dictat on both fashion and etiquette reigned supreme. His habits of dress and fashion were much imitated, especially in France, where, in a curious development, they became the rage, especially in bohemian quarters. There, dandies sometimes were celebrated in revolutionary terms: self-created men of consciously designed personality, radically breaking with past traditions. With elaborate dress and idle, decadent styles of life, French bohemian dandies sought to convey contempt for and superiority to bourgeois society. In the latter 19th century, this fancy-dress bohemianism was a major influence on the Symbolist movement in French literature.
Baudelaire was deeply interested in dandyism, and memorably wrote that a dandy aspirant must have “no profession other than elegance … no other status, but that of cultivating the idea of beauty in their own persons … The dandy must aspire to be sublime without interruption; he must live and sleep before a mirror.” Other French intellectuals also were interested in the dandies strolling the streets and boulevards of Paris. Jules Amédée Barbey d’Aurevilly wrote The Anatomy of Dandyism, an essay devoted, in great measure, to examining the career of Beau Brummell
The model dandy in British society was George Bryan “Beau” Brummell (1778–1840), in his early days, an undergraduate student at Oriel College, Oxford and later, an associate of the Prince Regent. Brummell was not from an aristocratic background; indeed, his greatness was “based on nothing at all,” as J.A. Barbey d’Aurevilly observed in 1845.[13] Ever unpowdered, unperfumed, immaculately bathed and shaved, and dressed in a plain dark blue coat, he was always perfectly brushed, perfectly fitted, showing much perfectly starched linen, all freshly laundered, and composed with an elaborately knotted cravat. From the mid 1790s, Beau Brummell was the early incarnation of “the celebrity”, a man chiefly famous for being famous—in his case, as a laconically witty clothes-horse.
By the time Pitt taxed hair powder in 1795 to help pay for the war against France and to discourage the use of flour (which had recently increased in both rarity and price, owing to bad harvests) in such a frivolous product, Brummell had already abandoned wearing a wig, and had his hair cut in the Roman fashion, “à la Brutus”. Moreover, he led the transition from breeches to snugly tailored dark “pantaloons,” which directly led to contemporary trousers, the sartorial mainstay of men’s clothes in the Western world for the past two centuries. In 1799, upon coming of age, Beau Brummell inherited from his father a fortune of thirty thousand pounds, which he spent mostly on costume, gambling, and high living. In 1816 he suffered bankruptcy, the dandy’s stereotyped fate; he fled his creditors to France, quietly dying in 1840, in a lunatic asylum in Caen, just before age 62.
Men of more notable accomplishments than Beau Brummell also adopted the dandiacal pose: George Gordon Byron, 6th Baron Byron occasionally dressed the part, helping reintroduce the frilled, lace-cuffed and lace-collared “poet shirt”. In that spirit, he had his portrait painted in Albanian costume.
Another prominent dandy of the period was Alfred Guillaume Gabriel d’Orsay, the Count d’Orsay, who had been friends with Byron and who moved in the highest social circles of London.
By the mid-19th century, the English dandy, within the muted palette of male fashion, exhibited minute refinements — “The quality of the fine woollen cloth, the slope of a pocket flap or coat revers, exactly the right colour for the gloves, the correct amount of shine on boots and shoes, and so on. It was an image of a well-dressed man who, while taking infinite pains about his appearance, affected indifference to it. This refined dandyism continued to be regarded as an essential strand of male Englishness.”
The origins of the word “dandy” is not known for certain. However these are often defined as the appearance of the characteristic such as dress and appearance settings. “dandy” began to be applied generally to human behavior in 1770′s.
similarly, the word dandy first appears in the late 18th century: In the years immediately preceding the American Revolution, the first verse and chorus of “Yankee Doodle” derided the alleged poverty and rough manners of American-born colonists, suggesting that whereas a fine horse and gold-braided clothing (“mac[c]aroni”) were required to set a European apart from those around him, the average American’s means were so meager that ownership of a mere pony and a few feathers for personal ornamentation would qualify one of them as a “dandy” by comparison to and/or in the minds of his even less sophisticated compatriots.
A slightly later Scottish border ballad, circa 1780,also features the word, but probably without all the contextual aspects of its more recent meaning. The original, full form of ‘dandy’ may have been jack-a-dandy. It was a vogue word during the Napoleonic Wars. In that contemporary slang, a “dandy” was differentiated from a “fop” in that the dandy’s dress was more refined and sober than the fop’s.
In the 21st century, the word dandy is a jocular, often sarcastic adjective meaning “fine” or “great”; when used in the form of a noun, it refers to a well-groomed and well-dressed man, but often to one who is also self-absorbed.
A dandy (also known as a beau or gallant) is a man that specifically noticed on physical appearance, language is smooth, and relaxing hobby, show themselves as cult. Historically, especially at the end of the 18th century and early 19th-century Britain, a dandy, who was self-made, often trying to imitate an aristocratic style of life despite coming from middle class backgrounds.

Modern practice of dandyism first appeared during the revolution of 1790, both in London and in Paris. dandyism skeptical view about the case, but such extremes that the novelist George Meredith, he was not cool, once defined “cynicism” as “intellectual dandyism”, however, the Scarlet Pimpernel is one of the great literary dandy. Some take a more soft, Thomas Carlyle, in his book Sartor Resartus, wrote that a dandy is nothing more than “a man wearing a dress”. Honoré de Balzac introduced Henri Marsay perfectly mundane and unmoved de La fille aux yeux d’or (1835), La Comédie humaine part of, which meets on the first model of the perfect dandy, until one of his obsessive pursuit of love in jealousy dismantle the kill
Charles Baudelaire, later, in a phase of “metaphysics”, defines a dandy as one who raised the aesthetic to the religious life, that’s dandy denounced the existence of only a responsible citizen of the middle class: “dandyism in certain respects comes close to spirituality and fortitude “and” These beings have no other status, but the cultivation of the idea of beauty in them, to satisfy their appetite, feeling and thinking …. Contrary to what people think many seem to believe, dandyism is not even too much excitement in the clothing and elegance of the materials for a perfect dandy, these things are nothing more than a symbol of excellence aristocratic mind.. “
Linkage clothing with political protest has become characteristic of particularly British during the 18th century. Given the connotations, dandyism can be seen as a political protest against the emergence of the principle of egalitarian leveling, often including nostalgic adherence to feudal or pre-industrial values, such as the ideals of “perfect man” or “autonomous nobles’, although paradoxically, it is necessary fop the audience, as Susann Schmid observed in examining the “life successfully marketed” Oscar Wilde and Lord Byron, who exemplify the role of the dandy in the public sphere, both as writer and as a personality provide a source of gossip and scandal
