Beau Dozier Contracts : Beau Brummell, a trendsetter for English fashion, popularized the new English style of menswear in the early 1800s. He wore suits made of dark wool rather than of silk, and he promoted the idea that simplicity in dress could be elegant. He also stressed the importance of personal cleanliness as a fashionable virtue, insisting that a plain but clean white shirt was preferable to a fancy one that was dirty. Brummell was also responsible for introducing the fashion of wearing only black and white for eveningwear. Although himself of humble origins, Brummell became a close friend of the prince of Wales, whose style he influenced.

A change of direction is also apparent in the traditional Armani classics, featuring darts for a slim midriff and legs that taper lightly towards the hem, imparting élan to the figure: an effect that is reinforced by the reappraised dimensions of the jacket, slightly shorter and slimmer than recently. Replacing the belt, a casually knotted scarf at the waist adds a witty touch of nonchalance.

        Beau Dozier Site : From the 19th century on, fashions in men's clothing changed more slowly and to a smaller degree than women’s fashions. One reason for this difference is that a man's wardrobe has been based on the suit. A suit constituted a kind of uniform that varied only in its details. By the late 18th century, fashionable suits were increasingly made of dark wool. They were unadorned but beautifully tailored. During the 19th century a knee-length jacket called a frock coat gradually replaced the short jacket with tails at the back, called a tailcoat, that had been worn earlier. The tailcoat became reserved for formal occasions.
