Best Dressed Dandy - 2024

The media, especially movies and television, are a common source of style inspiration for many men - including our Dandies. But which characters are truly epitomizing the ethos of having an obsession with elegance, and which are merely fashionable, trendy, or even (gasp!) just gauche? Wes and Liam roam through the reels and survey the scenes of recent releases to pick out their favourite (and sometimes controversial) Dandy moments.

Adapting to new culture (with James Westberg)

Moving abroad is a dream for many people, but the reality of adapting to a new country and culture can be challenging. Wes, who moved to Austin during the pandemic, is joined by James and Liam to discuss their experiences with their respective moves to Japan and Portugal.

Pink (featuring Natty Adams)

The color pink is often avoided, maligned or misinterpreted in modern men’s style. But why, and when did this become a thing? As a color, it comes in such a wide range of hues and tones it can often be deeply flattering. The Dandies are joined by Natty Adams to explore whether men should still be concerned about the preconceptions and stereotypes of pink or lean into it as a bold and expressive option of their individuality and identity … and, of course, delve in the mystery of why red foxhunters' jackets are called “Pinks”.

The Augmented Man (featuring Mudcat)

From hair dye and teeth whitening through tattoos to cosmetic surgery and body modification, there are a plethora of readily available ways for a man to alter his appearance. Mudcat rejoins Wes and Liam to discuss the motivations, opportunities, and challenges associated with procedures for altering or augmenting your body.
