Modern Dandy
with *Nathan Hopkinson
written Chidozie Obasi
A little less ‘dandy’, a little more fun: the appeal of minimalism has yet to wane. But this season, tailoring comes with a twist. From audacious cuts to fuss-free options, Spring trends present a breezy shortcut to ‘70s luxury with boxy shapes, old-school collars and gilded touches. Sported by the brilliant model Nathan Hopkonson, this dandy revival is for now – so take Benjamin Clementine as your muse and invest in one of our favourites (or hunt one down from the first time around) to ensure proper elegance.
The sense of elegant aestheticism has appeared particularly compelling through crisp shirting, and this season’s retro sobriety (teamed with a dash of tongue-in-cheek sartorial novelty) appeared crisply covetable across PreFall collections, too. From Zegna’s smart essentials and Loro Piana’s timeless classics, Paul Smith’s slouchy blazers to Alexander McQueen’s vibrant offerings, here’s how to do dandy now. A smart cue? Don’t overthink it. You’re welcome.
