The Dandy | comment |
The Dandy is someone who’s intensely concerned with his appearance: He's always well-groomed and generally avoids physical exertion, lest his hair or clothing become mussed. He usually prides himself on being cool, laid-back, and possessing his own unique flair. He is also typically a hedonist who highly values comfort and living the good life. In comedic works, writers will often pair him with child characters who don't buy into his act at all, or a gorgeous woman who happens to be incredibly cynical about men. The modern connotations of the word "Dandy" are somewhat ironic, since the original dandies were rebelling against the over-the-top fashions of 18th Century macaronis. With dandies, the emphasis was on simpler, more "masculine" clothes that emphasized high-quality fabrics and immaculate tailoring rather than excessive decoration. Being male is not a strict requirement, especially for Bifauxnen, but the trope is very likely to overlap with Gentleman Snarker or Upper-Class Twit. Also compare and contrast the Sharp-Dressed Man. Many examples also fall under In Touch with His Feminine Side because of the widespread perception that Vanity Is Feminine (again, not a connotation that “Dandy� would necessarily have had in its original usage). A rough Distaff Counterpart would be The Fashionista. For the well-dressed man who jumps into combat rather than running from it, see Agent Peacock and Action Fashionista. Compare and contrast Pimp Duds, which has more similarities to the "macaroni" style. Not to be confused with the long-running British comic of the same name. |

Milich Oppenheimer in the Suikoden, a foppish aristocrat with the most flamboyant outfit in the game, who's also The Fighting Narcissist. He begins a trend in the series of such characters, rich idiots who seem obsessed with fashion and their own attractiveness, but are also highly skilled with a rapier. | |

Bleach has a surprising number of these, many of which subvert the part of the trope about a dandy being afraid to fight in case it messes up their appearance. They're all willing to fight, but if they do get messed up in their fights their opponents — and sometimes their allies — won't be allowed to forget it. Yumichika Ayasegawa is obsessed with beauty. When the Gotei 13 is on a war-time alert, he still detours to change his torn clothing after a fight rather than immediately returning to his captain's side. He also loses a fight because his hair gets messed up by a firework. He even has a wig lying around that he can wear until his hair has recovered. Although it might seem as though Yumichika is the biggest dandy in Soul Society, he's not. Eighth Squad captain Shunsui Kyouraku dislikes fighting to the extent that he'll even try and disobey a direct order from the captain-commander himself to escape it if he can. He far prefers making friends, napping and drinking. If he does go into fights, he likes his vice-captain to shower him with flower petals as he makes his entrance onto the battlefield and he wears a pink, flowery woman's kimono everywhere. In fact, taking the kimono off means he's finally getting serious. The Bleach Character Book of Souls confirms that he is indeed considered the biggest Dandy in Soul Society. Szayel Apollo Granz has a similar outlook to Yumichika, going one step further than Yumichika by interrupting his own fight to change his torn clothes instead of waiting for the fight to finish first. Charlotte Cuulhorne is also this to such a degree that he fights Yumichika to see who is the World's Most Beautiful Person. When he focuses on trying to wound Yumichika's body, Yumichika simply gets to the heart of the matter by slashing Cuulhorne's hair. For a battle about beauty, things turn incredibly ugly after that. A milder example than the above is Uryuu Ishida, who has insanely good tailoring skills, with a penchant for making alterations to everyone's clothing in an attempt to improve them (they always end up cute — impressing female characters but not male characters). He's so concerned about his own Quincy outfit that he'll carry spare capes in case the one he's wearing gets damaged in battle. He's trying for Sharp-Dressed Man according to his own weird tastes, but the fact that he does the sewing himself lends it an extra something. |

Suggested on a blue-collar budget in The Cosby Show when Theo, following his father's budgeting for life as a "regular person" with Monopoly money (and knowing the point is to make sure he completes higher education, as he is not on a path to), actually moves to double the predicted amount for "clothes and shoes" — "I wanna look good." | |

Fire Emblem: Fire Emblem: Awakening has Virion, who quite often proclaims that he shall perform something "with style" and referring repeatedly to "magnificence". Most of the time, this involves firing an arrow at high speeds at an enemy soldier. In Fire Emblem Fates, Subaki claims in his supports with Hinata that he has very strict cleaning and grooming routines, and his profile states that he has the cleanest hands in the army. He's also a Bishōnen who seems to be quite proud of his appearance in general. |

House: Dr. Foreman has a sharp dress sense—much sharper than the other male main cast, with the occasional exception of Wilson. His suits are always perfectly tailored, and the color combinations and patterns on his shirts and ties are always interesting but tasteful. He also usually dresses in bright and bold colors (e.g. the light-blue-tie-on-light-blue-shirt combo he’s so fond of in the early seasons), which work well for him both aesthetically (setting off his dark skin color) and personalitywise (identifying him as a sophisticated man who cares about his appearance). He all but confirms it in Season 7, when he snarkily condones Taub borrowing one of his ties without permission by saying it was five years out of style anyway. | |

Cerberon: George and Aladavan both observe this trope. George plays the part of a dandy when he can idly mooch off a wealthy widow, but when he has to travel, he's practical enough to wear his older, worn dragoon uniform, to prevent his better clothes from becoming dirty or damaged. Aladavan is considerably more vain, wearing top style at all times and cleaning/mending his clothes as soon as possible when they become dirty/damaged. Neither of them are averse to physical confrontation, but Aladavan is more likely to get someone else to do real work for him. | |

While Gannayev from Neverwinter Nights 2 Mask of the Betrayer likes to present himself as more of a rugged, swashbuckler type, that doesn't stop him from being a gigantic fop about it.

Unbelievable as it is, the Pokémon Adventures manga contains an even more obvious example with Ruby. He has a distaste for Pokémon battles and prefer to do Pokémon Contests, emphasizing on looks over strength. This puts him at odds with his father, a Gym Leader who wants his son to follow his footsteps, and Sapphire, who prefers strength over beauty. | |

Darkness Visible: William Marsh in this Victorian-set fantasy is a very snappy dresser. He doesn't really fit the "avoids physical confrontation" part (luckily for Lewis, who is only five feet tall, and never learned not to pick fights with people twice his weight). Marsh is an ardent admirer of Oscar Wilde, and his mode of dress reflects his philosophical beliefs. | |

A Brother's Price: Noblemen are pretty much expected to be this, since social rules prevent them from doing most other things, and they're not expected to cook or clean or renovate like lower-class men, so they are more focused on fashion and their own appearances.

He even makes sure to wear cologne during his brief stay in prison. Of course, in accordance with his position, he's also a Shardbearer, one of the best Duelists in the world, and an excellent battlefield commander. | |

X-Men Film Series: Professor X relishes being flawlessly handsome. He adores his hair and his clothes — even when he loses the former, he can still indulge in the latter — and he can be quite fussy about them (such as his Nobody Touches the Hair moment in X-Men: First Class, and needlessly straightening his sleeves before he goes on a 4.5-hour-long drive from Westchester to Langley in this deleted scene from X-Men: Apocalypse). Xavier spends a lot of money on his suits, and he can be a bit overdressed at times (e.g. his outfit when he visits an incarcerated Erik in X2: X-Men United is so swanky that it can be worn at a wedding). In Apocalypse, he looks more like an '80s fashion model than a teacher, and his translucent white shirt is a little too sexy for an academic setting. Like most dandies, Charles also surrounds himself in luxury and is very fond of the finer things in life, plus he had a hedonistic streak when he was younger (specifically a penchant for sex and booze). | |

Zelos Wilder in Tales of Symphonia fits this trope like an frilly silk glove. Heuses it as a part of his Obfuscating Stupidity act. Fellow Tethe'allan noble Regal actually gets called this in his formal-wear alternate costume, and a few skits indicate that he may have had aspects of this before things went downhill. |

Miss Brooks had decided to get Mr. Boynton to pay more attention to his appearance, so suggests he grow a mustache and then has the female faculty members compliment him. Thankfully, Mr. Boynton is cured when Miss Brooks gets the Home Economics Class to reward him with their class project . . . a suit made out of an old horse blanket. | |

His castle is finely decorated, and since he doesn't wear clothes, he had himself nickel-plated and engraved a star over his new heart, so he could always look his very best. He's frequently described as a dandy by the text. | |

Batman: Batman's non-heroic persona, Bruce Wayne, is sometimes portrayed as a dandy. It's usually depicted as Obfuscating Stupidity: "There's no way that fop could be a dreaded vigilante." Batman is one of the few superheroes whose Rogues' Gallery tends to adhere to a dress code. They also, in general, prefer traps and elaborate schemes to straight-up fisticuffs. The ones who do like to mix it up physically (Bane, Killer Croc, Clayface) mostly avert the trope. The Penguin is the last scion of a family (the Cobblepots) that was at one time as rich as, or richer than, the Waynes, and is generally immaculately dressed in a tuxedo with top hat, monocle, and (in the old days) often a cigarette holder. In low light, or if you're colorblind, The Joker is quite the Sharp-Dressed Man in his tailcoat and gloves. The fact that the tailcoat is purple does diminish the effect a bit (and live-action versions tend to reduce or eliminate the "well-dressed" aspect of the character). Two-Face used to be a politician/attorney. He generally still dresses the part, though unless you happen to be looking at him from the right angle, one side of his suit may be made of fabric with an unusual color or pattern. One example has orange (which, as bizarre as it would be to see in Real Life, seems to be a perfectly unremarkable color for a business suit in comics) on the "good" side and purple on the "evil" side. The Riddler, unless the artist chooses to put him in question-marked spandex, generally wears a (green, but oh well) business suit and a bowler hat (also often green). The Mad Hatter. Business suit? Check. Odd color or pattern? Check. Top hat? Usually. Honorable mentions: Ra's al Ghul and Vandal Savage (who is more of a generic JLA/JSA villain) are generally well dressed by the standards of some era, it's just that... since Vandal is Older Than Dirt and Ra's is at the very least Older Than Steam... it's often not this era. Neither Ra's nor Vandal are too concerned about getting their clothes (or hands) dirty when it comes time to fight, though. |

Chicago: Deconstructed in Billy Flynn's introductory song "All I Care About is Love"; the lyrics systematically claim that he eschews the stereotypical "Dandy" trappings of wealth (clothing, jewelry, and other status symbols) and cares only about helping women in need. While his attire is pretty unremarkable, the charitable attitude expressed in the song rarely comes through in his actual character, so the anti-Dandyism may be just another tactic to attract female clients. | |

The Gilded Age: A few examples: Both Oscar van Rhijn and John Adams IV qualify, though in different ways; Oscar is rather fashion-forward for the 1880s, what with his sunglasses and fairly flamboyantly patterned suits, while John sticks to the Beau Brummel classic style of wearing plain but perfectly fitted menswear while being ruggedly handsome. Incidentally, they are both gay and in a relationship with each other, though also seeking wives because it's the 1880s. Tom Raikes gets a massive wardrobe upgrade once he moves from solo legal practice in sleepy Doylestown, Pennsylvania to Manhattan and takes up a job at a law firm there. It's heavily implied this is to support his attempts to enter New York high society. Ward McAllister also pays especial care to his wardrobe, as befits his role as social arbiter of New York high society, generally wearing more finely-tailored and interestingly-colored suits than other men of his station. He gets away with it both because he is a social arbiter and because he is a Southern aristocrat (albeit one with sufficient familial connections to pre-Civil War Northern aristocracy to absolve him of any association with rebellion or slavery). |

Yet he still advertises them on TV and in magazines, just to show off how awesome they are and rub it in everyone's faces that they will never be able to have them.

Tamaki Suoh from Ouran High School Host Club. All the boys in the club are good-looking and generally sharply turned-out, and the twins are actually the clothing experts by way of their mother, but Tamaki's the only one who seems to really care. He's the ladykiller variety, except his idea of how to be a ladykiller involves no actual relationships or close contact. Instead, he started a club where he charms women for money that he doesn't care about. One wonders whether it was his father who told him of the existence of Host Clubs, and if Tamaki even knows about regular prostitutes, let alone the classy male kind he's pretending to be. |

Jason King from Department S and Jason King was a major sex symbol of the Seventies. He was foppish and camp and spent most of his time drinking, smoking, lounging and shagging. Ultimately, he became the inspiration for Austin Powers. | |

Attorney Benjamin Arcinas of Smaller & Smaller Circles certainly counts as one. He spends an inordinate amount of time fussing over his appearance—he puts on foundation makeup, and his hair is carefully coiffed and dyed a vivid red. In childhood he took odd jobs to save up money for a manicure at thirteen. | |

Little Women: Laurie, during his college and young adult years, is always described as being very well-dressed and fashionable. At one point, Jo criticizes Laurie for spending too much, in her opinion, on his appearance when he could be using his money for more practical things. She brings this up again, when turning down his proposal as one more way that they're not compatible. He later ends up marrying Amy, who herself is The Fashionista. | |

Jeeves and Wooster: Fashion is one of Bertie Wooster's loves. If he and Jeeves ever have a falling-out, it's usually because he's insisting on wearing some utterly ridiculous article of clothing that Jeeves doesn't approve of. In one episode, he goes through a period of depression because he can't think his way out of Aunt Agatha's latest plan for his future; he cheers himself up by wearing a cummerbund. | |

Pokémon: Pokémon: The Series: Kojiro/James of Team Rocket behaves in this manner, always trying to look dashing (especially with his rose) and acting foppish to his foes. He even shamelessly crossdresses many times and went as far as dressing himself in a campy [[Memetic Mutation Flaming Moltres costume. Of course, such a bombastic personality hides a rather sensitive, meek man who ran away from his rich family to get away from an oppressive fiancée. Unbelievable as it is, the Pokémon Adventures manga contains an even more obvious example with Ruby. He has a distaste for Pokémon battles and prefer to do Pokémon Contests, emphasizing on looks over strength. This puts him at odds with his father, a Gym Leader who wants his son to follow his footsteps, and Sapphire, who prefers strength over beauty. |

"Menswear Guy", is devoted to the advancement of classic menswear in the 21st century, with a particular emphasis on the kinds of tailoring and fit considerations that would make Beau Brummel cry tears of joy. (He's a big fan of bespoke tailoring.) Per a January 2023 interview with GQ Magazine, his name really is Derek Guy and he is as weirded out as anyone else why the Twitter algorithm promoted him. And yes, he does dress this way himself. | |

Once he gets over the shock that his "experiments" have summoned a genuinely powerful and dangerous witch from another universe, he becomes convinced that she is madly in love with him and puts on his absolute best clothes, convinced that he still looks dashing in his old age.

The second set of Sakura Wars OVAs feature "Dan Dandy", a would-be "stylish criminal" whose path as a secondary character keeps intersecting that of the Hanagumi. Dan is foppish, a slave to what he considers the height of fashion for American gangsters, and only marginally competent; the Hanagumi don't even really notice him when they cross paths. (Oddly, he originated in one of the live Sakura Wars stage shows, and became popular enough among fans that he was included in the OVA series.) | |

Among the National Service recruits in Get Some In! is Jakey Smith, a typical 1950s Teddy boy. Like most Teddy boys, he places great importance on fashionable clothing and hair (although, also like most Teddy boys, he doesn't shy away from potentially clothing-damaging violence), reacting with horror when his "duck's arse" haircut falls victim to the RAF barber's scissors and complaining about the lack of style of the uniforms with which he is issued. | |

The third Blackadder series has a few since it's set in the late 1700s/early 1800s. Prince George might be a particularly dim dandy. One episode has him gushing over a pair of enormous trousers, where the legs have been stuffed out to make his thighs look like hamshanks. Another has a pair of (normal) blue satin breeches to make him the belle of the ball, but without Blackadder he can't figure out how to put them on over the course of a whole week (he tries his arm and over his head, but eventually manages to get them on one leg). | |

Doctor Who: The Third Doctor, with his velvet smoking jackets, ruffled shirts, capes, and gloves. The Second Doctor calls the Third "Fancy Pants." The First Doctor actually makes reference to this in "The Three Doctors": The Eleventh Doctor fits this trope, too. He wears a bowtie because "Bowties are cool." He shows up in one episode wearing a fez (which is immediately destroyed), claiming that "Fezzes are cool." He's also donned top hat, white tie, and tails on more than one occasion. There is much humour derived from this incarnation of the Doctor passionately asserting that something is cool when most people would disagree. The Twelfth Doctor was relatively unique in that he ran the gamut from causal T-shirts and hoodies to suave velvet jackets and waistcoats while maintaining roughly the same silhouette and style throughout. The First Doctor outright calls him a dandy in the novelisation of Doctor Who 2017CS "Twice Upon a Time", though not in the TV episode. Almost all incarnations of the Doctor probably qualify to an extent, save for the Second, War, Ninth, Tenth, and Thirteenth Doctors. Different Doctors have been suave, drab, severe, or gaudy, but it seems none of them feel completely dressed without a Nice Coat (often a Badass Longcoat), and most of them want a second layer on top (often a Waistcoat of Style), and most also insist on neckwear of some kind. Regardless of practicality. This is even true for War, although unlike the rest his clothes are weathered and battered. |

Ace Attorney: Miles Edgeworth looks every part the dandy, from his Classy Cravat to needlessly expensive burgandy suits. He even keeps a spare cravat on his person should the one he wears be damaged and refuses to wear his prosecutor's badge because it would put a hole in his clothes. However, it turns out this isn't out of vanity, but because he was raised and constantly scrutinized by an insane perfectionist who refused to tolerate anything less. Edgeworth himself seems to consider his appearence merely presentable, always expressing indifference, annoyance, or even confusion when people compliment his looks. Florent L'Belle from Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies is obsessed with beauty, primarily his own, and is damn proud of it too. He has his own line of beauty products that major stores are very interested in stocking, but he refuses to sell them to anyone and wants to keep them all to himself. Yet he still advertises them on TV and in magazines, just to show off how awesome they are and rub it in everyone's faces that they will never be able to have them. However, even though he thinks he's the most beautiful person who has ever lived, everyone else considers him a Gonk. |

Oz has this trope in effect for two of the gang leaders, Nino Schibetta, leader of the Italian inmates in the first season and Alonzo Torquemada, leader of the Gay inmates in the final season. Nino Schibetta subverts this trope, as he is a deadly and Wicked Cultured old-school Mafia Don, and is considered the most powerful inmate in Oz during the first season. Torquemada plays it straight, as he is a typical flamboyant dandy and Camp Gay nightclub owner. | |

Percy Blakeney's public personality in The Scarlet Pimpernel is that of a Regency dandy, concerned with nothing except wearing flashy and expensive clothes. | |

Harris was the squad Dandy on Barney Miller. He was always dressed to the nines and kept spare pieces of clothing in his desk to dress up or dress down as he liked. Barney gave him "flashy efficiency" on one performance review. At one point, Harris actually refused to wear his blues on a uniform day because it offends his fashion sense (among other reasons). | |

Despite being blind, Muteba Gizenga from Kengan Ashura is a self proclaimed sapeurnote male adherents of the La Sape subculture characterized by their exuberant flamboyance who apparently spend most of his earnings on ridiculously expensive suits and other fancy accessories. | |

At least 2 in Noblesse Raizel is perfectly capable of magically materializing clothing, but his dandy butler Frankenstein insists that he wear only the finest clothing made by himself of only the highest quality material, as stated in Noblesse S 1. Then we have metrosexual Tao. In Noblesse S, one of his coworkers stated that he looks like a woman & acts like a little boy. While most of the cast has a static wardrobe, he rotates his clothing, which includes a famine off-shoulder sweater. He also wears more makeup than any of the girls. | |

Roger Aubrey in Sixes and Sevens tried to style himself as one in the past, explicitly citing Wilde, Baudelaire, and Brummell as idols. This of course is quite at odds with the often violent tasks he has to perform as a soldier in World War II and beyond, and while he's come to accept killing he still hates the sight of blood. | |

Firefly: Simon Tam is by far the Rim's most dapper scofflaw doctor, wearing Simple, yet Opulent suits and upper-class etiquette like armour against the harsh realities of the 'Verse. A more villainous example of this trope is Atherton Wing, who Mal comes in contact with in one episode. "Contact" is to interpreted as "contact with sharp, pointy and antiquated objects". |

Fire Emblem: Awakening has Virion, who quite often proclaims that he shall perform something "with style" and referring repeatedly to "magnificence". Most of the time, this involves firing an arrow at high speeds at an enemy soldier. | |

Algernon Sharp from Dice Funk season 4 fits this trope to a tee, dressing in a provocatively flashy manner. He is a pick-up artist who does everything to be the center of attention, a practice referred as "Peacocking" in the setting of Valentine. | |

St. Germain from Castlevania: Curse of Darkness. The interesting part is that he's not the kind of dandy that would be prevalent in the game's time period (the 1400s), as he wears a top hat and carries a saber and a dueling pistol. Since he's a time traveler, his 1800s getup actually makes a certain amount of sense. | |

Barney Stinson on How I Met Your Mother is a womanizing, lecherous sex fiend who obsesses over his personal appearance (especially his suits). In other words, a modern day foppish dandy. | |

Dragonlance: Dalamar. Described as well clad and very good looking and certainly has the behaviour down to a t. He is supposedly hardworking and obsessed with his magical studies as any ambitious mage, but we hear more about his womanizing, his fine china collection (!), his fondness of quality wine and how he fills the formerly proper and self-respecting dark tower with floral displays. | |

Frasier and Niles Crane from Frasier, particularly the latter, who is rarely seen not dressed to the nines in Armani suits. In one episode later in the show's run we finally get to see inside Niles's closet, and it's an enormous room big enough for armchairs and an open fire. | |

Tubalcain Alahambra from Hellsing is an example of this trope. He is often referred to as "The Dandy" and has all of the typical traits. Somewhat subverted though in the fact that he isn't opposed to combat in the least (being a Nazi vampire and all). | |

The Witcher: Sigismund Dijkstra affects this, as a part of his long-running efforts to mess with people. Everyone expects spies to be small, mousy and bland-looking, so Dijkstra is huge, almost aggressively ugly, and dresses in the most flamboyant way he can get away with. A more conventional example would be Dandelion, the skirt-chasing bard. A Non-Action Guy who... doesn't really do much except dress flamboyantly and sing about the heroes. But damn, the man can wear clothes. |
