Un dandy de la Nuit
Getting ever closer to Brummell’s definition, the dandy of today doesn’t shout his title from the rooftops, but instead distinguishes himself quite discreetly. Night falls, and the dandy dons his brightest attire, successfully catching the eye of passers by, while remaining effortlessly elegant.
It isn’t that a dandy takes offence at a colourful outfit, it’s just that black suits him down to a tee. Trading his perfectly tailored day jacket for something with a slightly modern twist, this adds a touch of “couture” to a stylish indifference.
1200€ at Dior Homme
Rather than damaging one’s pockets (!) with a bulky wallet, opt for this thin, fine card case by Thom Browne for carrying all your credit and business cards.

TURNBULL & ASSER MOTHER-OF-PEARL COLLAR
The perfect accompaniment to your shirt collars: mother-of-pearl collar stays, far more chic and solid than those in plastic that are more readily available. Don’t forget to remove them when you go to the drycleaner (and especially in the washing machine, but that’s forbidden!)
60€ by Mr Porter
A MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA BROOCH
Even if he often dresses in black, the night-time dandy enjoys spicing up his outfit with a slight sparkle, such as this silver and glass crystal brooch by Maison Martin Margiela.
$£39 at LN-CC
What better for dancing all night than in these magnificent ACNE shoes, embroidered with small mother-of-pearl beads?
410€ by ACNE
When he feels a little less adventurous, the dandy of the night listens to his music on this Lenco turntable, which combines the charm of the 33 and 45 rpm with the modern day thanks to direct encoding through a USB.
180€ by Lenco
