MEN'S STYLE - Old England Rocks The Refined Dandy Look!

It is easy to see the rise of this new approach to dressing. Esquire and My-wardrobe have already launched their hunt for the UK’s Best Dressed Real Man, whilst when our own team has been out photographing the world’s most fashionable males for our street style section, we have been seeing an increasing rise of English Gentleman and Dandy inspired outfits. For those that don’t know, The Dandy was a term given to middle class males in the late 18th-19th century who dressed like they were upper class aristocrats. This meant they were groomed immaculately, wore typical extravagant upper class attire and gave off that air of wealth, even when they weren’t.

The present day Dandy dresses with these original values in mind but adds his own modern twist. They utilise items (and fabrics) on a daily basis which are traditionally associated with an old English gentleman – items like blazers, casual shirts, tailoring, cords, slim chinos and smart shoes - but bring them bang up to date in striking bold colours, unstructured styles, skinny cuts and unconventional materials such as suede for footwear.

Of course, with the rise of any new trend or look, it is imperative that you utilise accessories in order to individualise yourself. It is with this in mind that I have found THE perfect accessory to anyone who wants to stand out from the crowd this year – the Roman fob pendant watch by Old England.

The Old England watch company produces bold and distinctive fashion watches which celebrate the innate British tradition of dressing with confidence – something the Modern Dandy has in abundance. With a focus on Union Jack designs and bold coloured time pieces, Old England has re-invented itself and is offering some true statement pieces this season. See the full range here: Old England watches.

However, the standout watches of the whole collection have to be the Old England Classic Roman Fob Watch OE118FB and the Old England New Union Fob Watch OE117FB. Priced at only £120, they come with beautiful gold casing and pendant chain, as well as your choice of bold Roman Numerals or Union Jack print. These pendant fob watches can be draped over your neck for a real statement finish to all your looks, or used in more gentlemanly accord as a pocket watch – a perfect touch of class to for any true Gentleman’s outfit.
