Quotations: J.M. Garcia III on Dandies and Preppies
The dandy is generally a man given to micro-whimsy. Something, such as cufflinks, that at close inspection turns out to be clever. The archetype of the prep likes his whimsical fun macro-sized.

They're entertaining enough in the right environment, but not the least bit comfortable in their suits designed not to be lived in, but only looked upon with amusement.
A man's place is as the velvet box setting off the jewel resting her hand on his arm. He is the easy chair his wife rests upon as she fills the air with her ambiance.
The only jewel on a man's wrist, other than his wife, should be a gold band rolex hidden beneath a buttoned down cuff.
