The Killer of Men's Fashion

Beau Brummell wasn’t just an English dandy — he was the original men’s style dictator of Regency London. His extreme obsession with tailoring and spotless grooming laid the foundations for modern menswear. This episode shows how his rejection of frills and colour accidentally sentenced generations of men to a lifetime of navy, black, grey — and, if they’re feeling adventurous, maybe green. This nugget asks whether Brummell refined men’s fashion… or quietly put it in a very well-tailored box forever more.
