Dapper

Dapper has become this horrible by-product of the menswear trend and with it the notion that being ‘dapper’ equates to some improved social status* – but to whom is another question altogether. It’s no longer a simple description of a man’s neat appearance, but a microcosm of sensationalist menswear try hards who, in an effort to sound or appear suave, are in fact, anything but.

'Gee, don't you look dapper in that ill-fitted statement suit, I never through paisley on paisley would work, but it just does'.
'Gargantuan Windsor knots, and pointy jester shoes are just so dapper'.
'I’m so pumped for Pitti in June, said the #dapper gent'.
