Kate Lister: 我认为Dandy在牛津英语词典中被定义为极度注重穿着优雅和时尚的人。Beau Brummel是英国摄政时期的代表人物，他的座右铭是“不要谈论衣服，让衣服说话”。2025年Met Gala的主题是“为你量身定制”，其灵感来自黑人dandy主义。今天我请来了历史学家Peter Anderson，他是《The Dandy, A People's History of Sartorial Splendor》的作者，他可以帮助我们解答关于dandy的问题。成为一个dandy需要花费大量时间在个人形象上，从沐浴到选择服装，每个细节都不能忽略。 Peter Anderson: 我认为我的书旨在改变人们对dandy的定义，从贵族知识分子类型转变为更广泛、更流行的形象，即我所说的“大众dandyism”。Dandy通常被定义为穿着独特、非常注重外表，并且具有贵族气质的男性。Dandy这个词的历史定义可以追溯到摄政时期，也就是19世纪早期，当时dandy这个词开始用来指代时尚男士或穿着得体的男士。Beau Brummel通常被认为是引入黑色西装的人。我的书关注的是下层阶级的dandy，即dandyism如何成为下层社会男性中的一种持续存在的亚文化。我的书名为《The Dandy, A People's History of Sartorial Splendor》，这是一部关于dandyism的民众历史。

He cuts a fine figure, walking down the street. Whether it's a bow tie and a sharp suit, perfectly curated clashing colours, or a moustache with every hair strictly held in place - this is a person who spends hours on their look. But why?
