In my dandy portrait, I implemented silk, florals, and plaid that all followed the same color scheme. I added jewelry, glasses, boots, and a cane to make the outfit come to life even more. I wanted it to be dramatic in order to demand attention. I chose a beige background to really help the dark colors pop. My entire outfit is straight from my mom's closet as she has a lot of vintage dandy-ish pieces.

For my dandy style portrait, I chose to wear a light pink suit with a black top hat, bow tie, and stiletto heels. I was inspired by modern exemplars of dandy style such as Janelle Monáe and a few of Zendaya's red carpet looks. I was also inspired by a few old Hollywood looks by Marlene Dietrich and Fred Astaire.

For my dandy portrait I grabbed everything in my closet that had the tactile quality I wanted and ended up with quite a lot of velvet- a fabric Oscar Wilde was very fond of. I wanted to add a nod to the use of pattern in dandyism while sticking with a more moody, almost noir color pallet. The repetition in collars, pearls and velvet is supposed to highlight the extravagant almost camp excessiveness of the dandy style. I chose the corner of my living room because of the lamp style and portrait on the floor, which leaves a clear aesthetic impression. My dog Tilly is in the photo because I love her and she is the star of the show. Dogs are a sign of wealth and status and she gives the impression of upperclass exclusivity and leisure.

My dandy portrait is a combination of a typical "business casual" outfit with a dandy twist. I chose to wear peach pants with a blush blouse to illustrate a pink/rose color palette. The brightest color in my palette is red which is seen in my satin gloves and red rose. My blazer, pants, and blouse were already in my closet because I used them for my internship. I chose red and pink to be in my color palette because they are close to each other on the color wheel. My background is a nature green because green compliments red and pink. The rose in my hand gives an intimate and passionate feel similar to the dandy aesthetic. I then chose plain off-white shoes to not take away attention on the top half of my body. The loudness and vibrant colors in my palette demonstrate the bright colors in the dandy aesthetic.

For my dandy portrait, I wanted to combine Oscar Wilde's 19th century dandy aesthetic with my own '70s aesthetic. I chose to wear pieces like a faux fur coat and make a DIY neckerchief in reference to Wilde's style. I also pinned a flower to my lapel to mimic Wilde's iconic look. To bring in my own personal style, I chose to wear a leisure suit from the 1970's as well as some white heeled boots. The patterned button down shirt I am wearing reminded me of more modern dandy style as it clashes with the pattern on the front of the jacket. The slight bell sleeves on the collared shirt are also a nod to the 70's. Finally, I wore as many gold rings as I could find in reference to more modern dandies like Harry Styles.

For my Dandy photo, I ran to my mother's closet and found tons of colorful blazers, textured blouses, and patterned pants. I did contrasting patterns with my plaid pants and striped blouse. I added a dandy pop of neon yellow color with the blazer. I used my hat as an accessory and a prop for my pose to add some mystery and confidence to my dandy outfit!

For my Dandy Portrait, I decided to enhance the Dandy aesthetic with playful, feminine, and whimsical undertones. Instead of pants, I chose to wear a frilly, floral skirt because I wanted to cater my dandy outfit to fellow "girly girls." My tie as well as my shoes (not pictured) also added to the floral vibe a chose for my outfit. I chose to wear a pink lacey blouse as a nod to soft, feminine colors and fabrics. For my makeup, I used one of my more pale concealers, generous amounts of blush, pink eyeshadow, and bright red lipstick as a way to reflect the makeup worn by the "girly girl" icon Marie Antoinette. The color and pattern of my hat do not blend in with the rest of my outfit. My hat choice was deliberate as I wanted a hat that would pop out. Like the rest of my outfit, my hat is very feminine; however, it differs from the rest of my outfit's youthful femininity, as it has a mature, womanly feel. For example, I could imagine that hat being worn to tea by an old lady. The juxtaposition of a youthful, playful outfit, and a dull, aged tea hat is a nod to the aesthetic power of femininity at all stages of life. I chose a cropped jacket because cropped suits emphasize the masculine assertiveness seen in the dandy aesthetic while still having a feminine cut to the jacket. I chose to take my photo in front of my painting because the blue and brown background matches my hat and jacket. The fruit in the painting further hones in on the playful, colorful, and silly vibe of my outfit.

For my Dandy Portrait I wanted to take a Serena Van Der Woodsen approach; a more modern and feminine look. I used different items from my closet and my dad's closet. I used my black trousers, my cropped purple floral sweater vest, my little mirror necklace, my hat, and my dad's purple tie. Since the rest of my outfit was generally dark tones, I wanted to incorporate a lighter aspect. I chose to do so by using this cream jacket. I wanted the shirt and tie to match one another and wear dark toned pants so that they would not take away from the shirt and accessories. I wanted to incorporate modern and vintage looks. I picked a cropped sweater vest and my jacket to make the look more modern and the hat, tie, and mirror necklace to make the look also look vintage. I chose my background because the images are vintage and have a dark feel to them. Much like the dandy aesthetic, the photos in my background are vintage, but are being used in a modern setting.

For my Dandy Portrait, I decided to take my love for pink to the extreme, almost creating a Barbie-inspired Dandy look. When we were assigned this project and shown examples of different Dandy outfits, the bright colors really stood out to me (especially in the examples from the Dandy Lion Project), and I immediately thought of this pink blazer that I have. Then, I decided to embrace the pink theme, also wearing corduroy pants and velvet shoes while posing in front of my pink curtains. I also wore heart sunglasses to continue with the girly/feminine theme as well as adding a floral tie, to add another pattern to the outfit, and pearls as a chain. Finally, I decided to pose with this facial expression because I thought it showed sassiness and exuded the confidence that most Dandys present themselves with while wearing these outfits in public.

For my dandy portrait I grabbed different pieces from my closet- bright orange trousers, black and white striped button up, a brown blazer with little pops of color in it and some crotched flowers sewn onto it, and orange heart sunglasses. I was hoping to play with different colors, textures, and patterns. I wanted to make references to the beginnings of the dandy aesthetic while also having my own, more modern, interpretation of the dandy aesthetic. I chose to take the photo in front of my dark blue curtain to really make the colors pop but also add some texture.

When capturing my own rendition of the Dandy aesthetic, I was drawn to take a more modern yet classic approach. Every article of clothing was borrowed from my mom's closet besides the white collared shirt and the flower lapel pin. With that being said, I chose to work the entire outfit around the black and gold blazer. I felt that this blazer was a classic choice because of the pattern and the pop of color the gold added to it. The white collared shirt added another dimension to the outfit as it was bright and stood out behind the different shades of beige/brown. Then, I chose the polka dot sweater to really accentuate the Dandy aesthetic's dedication to different patterns. The black polka dots and beige color worked well with the color scheme while also adding a new pattern. I chose to pair the outfit with this pair of pants because of the brown color, the loose fit, and subtle plaid pattern. The heels I chose added another pop of color to the bottom half of the outfit with the gold emblem, matching the blazer. When learning about the several different takes on the Dandy aesthetic, I was inspired by Harry Styles' personal choice of a pearl necklace. So, I added a pearl necklace, which ties the whole look together along with the flower pin on the lapel as a boutonniere. The calm color palette of the outfit adds a modern twist, while the different patterns and pops of gold throughout the outfit stay true to the roots of the Dandy aesthetic. Lastly, this pose exudes confidence while the lower camera angle helps me appear bigger and draws more attention.

I am inspired by the zoot suits and the symbolism behind them. Another crucial factor that led me to my choice of clothes is gender boundaries. When I typed “women’s Dandy style” in my search bar, all I saw were women in blazers, an indispensable fashion piece that English men wore and later used to exemplify Dandy style in the 18th century. However, I believe that Dandy style should not be limited by refined blazers and the manly demeanor. It is essential that we can see Dandy style as a way to present ourselves expressively, boldly, and confidently in what we dress. This is why I decided to pick a skirt instead of a blazer. My clothing is a mix of Dandy style with Oriental aesthetic, inspired by Chinese Qipao (cheongsam). In short, Qipao is a powerful representative of Oriental aesthetics, similar to the Dandy style in the west. The skirt I wore is patterned with ink wash painting, one of Chinese traditional arts and this pattern often appears on Qipao. The pattern is beautiful, elegant, and at the same time, attention-grabbing. I added gloves and the fur to the look and they demonstrated the harmonious combination of Western and Eastern “Dandy” aesthetics.

For my Dandy Portrait, I used different clothing items I found in my mom's closet. I built the outfit from the colorful sweater I have on and found other pieces that matched with in it layer on top, such as the coat and the scarf. I decided to go with black for the pants and boots to tone it down. The fedora like hat and the coat gives the outfit s more masculine touch, while still keeping the dandy aesthetic. The colors in the background also match the outfit, the background is mostly neutral with a pop of color in the paintings behind me. I mostly wear more muted colors, so I made sure to incorporate some of that in my outfit as well.

For My Dandy Portrait, I chose a more colorful approach. I decided to pair an olive green coat with a white button up. The skirt and tie provided a pop of color and different patterns. I liked how the patterns were different because that is a key component to Dandy Style. I also added sunglasses as an accessory.

For my dandy portrait, I chose neutral and pastel colors, textured clothes, and a tailored silhouette to create a modern, feminized dandy look. My brown corduroy blazer creates the illusion of an inverted triangle with its pointy shoulders and fitted waist. My checkered gray pants are slightly flared at the bottom, creating an elongated look. The hints of color in my outfit are in the matching pink button-up and sheer pink and green scarf, which is tied into a "pussy bow."

For my Dandy Project, I decided to use different textures, I also added different colors and patterns, an orange blazer to contrast with the tie that matches the brown latex -textured pants, and a contrasting white shirt. As for accessories, I decided  on yellow circular glasses and a black hat to give it a more unique touch .
I was inspired by the photos we saw in the classroom, where they mix different types of textures and patterns.

When I told my dad I had to create a dandy portrait, he practically volunteered to be my model! Starting from the top, I used my mom's tan fedora mixed with a cowboy hat to really elevate the look. Now onto the suit, you can never go wrong with a solid gray suit with a pop of color. The pink and blue-striped polo really added that pop that I was looking for. I added a matching pink pocket square for a tied in look. My dad actually picked out his own shoes and though that some cowboy boots were the way to go and I think they were too! The tie is blue polka dot and I also added some small Ray-Ban sunglasses that were definitely too small for his face but I think it works perfectly. The finishing touch is the cane which is a staple in the dandy style. He also thought of this pose which again is a great representation of the dandy aesthetic. The background also contrasts with the pink attire. I think it's safe to say my dad is ready for a night out on the town in this outfit.

My personal definition of Dandy is a style that creates excitement but holds a certain unpredictability whilst still serving elegance and class. To exemplify this definition in an outfit I paired neutral and elegant pieces of clothing with smaller pieces that had bright colors and excitement to them. I chose to wear light brown flared pants along with an off-white sweater vest and a classy white blazer. For an element of unpredictability and individuality I also wore hot pink flats, a striped collared undershirt, and a bright yellow flower. I also included a makeshift watch chain to add a classic element of Dandy style. I used pretty much anything I could find in my closet.

I decided to go with a more neutral and plain color scheme for my Dandy portrait while adding a pop of red. I matched the color of the vest to a wall in my house that happened to be the exact same color. Vests like the one I wore, were very popular in the 1920's so that is why I chose to wear it.

For my dandy portrait, I chose to take a play on different shades of green. I found an olive green blazer in my mother's closet and went with it. While she surprisingly had many colorful blazers, I remembered that I had forest green corduroy pants. I thought it was the perfect opportunity to contrast with different shades of greens and textures. I accessorized with a light brown fedora as well as big framed glasses. I think that the outfit represents a bit of who I am and where I come from. The fedora was purchased in New Orleans, a very special place for my family and me. I added glasses because I believe they show a sense of individuality. Glasses have been a big part of my childhood and who I am.

For my dandy portrait, I chose to portray the feminine side of the dandy style. My choice of bright colors as well as florals added to the extravagant aspect of the aesthetic and was tied in with the bold stripes, all differing in directions. My blazer added to the strong, masculine feel of the style, while my second accessory, being my hat, created a curious and feminine feel. My pose with my eyes being covered also adds to this mysterious feel of the dandy aesthetic.

# data[].attributes.body
For my dandy portrait, I focused on finding the elements of the plaid. I found a green and white plaid blazer in my closet, the tweed material accentuates the style very well. I wore a plain white collared shirt underneath and draped a black leather jacket over a blazer. Since I couldn't find any check pants, I used black pants made of the same material as the suit (not in the photo). Finally, I put on a pair of dandy-style signature black sunglasses. I edited my photos with a vintage-style environmental background.

For my dandy style project, I chose to wear a plain, black suit over a purple T-shirt and a yellow tie. I decided to wear yellow and purple because they are contrasting colors and can be eye-catching when they are worn under a dark color (the black suit). I also borrowed a rose and a red hat from one of my friends to brighten the picture.

For our dandy portrait, we focused on the mixing of colors and patterns. We used polka-dot suspenders and incorporated a black top hat to match them. We used a pop of color in the pink shirt and added a pink flower to go along with it acting as a boutonniere. We also had a blue suit that matched our blue polka-dot tie and a white pocket square to add some more colors. Our background ties in with the floral accent we added to the outfit. Our portrait created a funky, business-type dandy outfit. Maddie's dad was the model for our outfit.

This dandy portrait displays the classic elegance of Oscar Wilde. My father lent his navy blue velvet smoking jacket, as he thought it encapsulated the "true essence of Oscar Wilde." Underneath the jacket is a baby pink gingham button-down shirt paired with a navy blue and pink striped Brooks Brothers tie. The textures of this entire outfit are all different, the jacket is velvet, as stated before, the tie is made of silk, the shirt is made of cotton, and the pants are made from polyester. Apart from the textures being different all of the patterns are different as well, the jacket being solid blue, the shirt a gingham pattern, and the tie being stripped. Moving onto the pants, it may be difficult to see from the photo, but they are navy and cobalt pinstriped pants. The stripes in the tie and stripes in the pants tie together yet juxtapose with the varying width of each stripe. I decided to add a pair of glasses to keep up the 'classy' look in addition to adding an unnecessary accessory, which seems to be a theme with the dandy aesthetic. Continuing the theme of unnecessary accessories, my father insisted that his cigar got a cameo in the shot. Oscar Wilde was known to enjoy a cigarette, and so with that inspiration in mind, a cigar was bound to be in the shot. Accompanying the cigar is an antique humidor behind the chair. The leather chair on which I am sitting adds again more texture and color as well as an almost throne-like look to it. I chose to move the chair in front of my father's most provocative art piece, one, because it was really the only available place to take the shot, and two, because the dandy (myself) will always be the center of attention, even with a very head-turning piece of art nearby. Overall I tried to maintain and pay tribute to the classic dandy look of Oscar Wilde.

For my dandy portrait I chose to portray the 80's and also athletics. The first sport that popped into my head was tennis so I took my photo through a tennis net at a park near me while also holding a tennis racket. It is an 80's style outfit because of all the vibrant different colors I am wearing and jewelry and makeup even though you can't really see the makeup. I wanted to go off of all the yoga style outfits where they wear neon colors and tights, and also shorts over leggings. I also tried to do the kind of hair style that would work for the 80s but I don't have the hair style for it so I just put my hair in a messy bun.

For my Dandy portrait, my partner and I chose a neutral/ classic color scheme for our outfits and we included patterns. We both wore different types of plaid pants. For our accessories we wore gold sunglasses, gold hats, and black and white patterned bows. We wanted to add an accessory that would stand out and be eye-catching so we added gold glitter hats. We were inspired to take a modern and classic approach for our outfits.

For my dandy portrait, I chose to dress Shannon in the various pieces out of my closet- and my goal was to truly put together the outfit in terms of me. Luckily, my style covers a very large range, so I had various pieces that are very similar to the dandy aesthetic. I picked out 3 long skirts, but layered them so my brown skirt would be on top. I then picked out my vintage 1980's button up top, that contrasted the brown skirt well. Next, I layered my brown blazer on top to go with the brown skirt/brown tan theme. I also included my boutonniere from last years prom as a little accessory to the blazer. Additionally, I layered 2 of my mom's long black/silver necklaces and also included a fake cigarette in one of her hands while she reads a book. I lastly put her hair in a slicked back bun, as impeccable and expertly styled hair is generally expected. I really wanted to emphasize the outward expression of the dandy aesthetic, and the visual form of resistance to a mainstream culture. As Wilde's outfits were an 'outward expression of pride in himself', I wanted my outfit to be the same.

For my dandy portrait I picked my sister to be my model. I went for a black and white color scheme with a pop of orange. I used the polka dot pants and a polka dot blouse so keep the pattern consistent since I dislike the mixing of patterns. The orange jacket really added a nice touch of color and pop that represents the dandy style. The pose is my favorite because it pulls the whole look together.

For my dandy portrait, I focused mainly on the color brown. I dressed Shannon in a brown blazer with a cream-colored shirt underneath that can be seen coming out of the sleeves. Additionally, I added some fur and a flower pin towards her collar as this was a staple for Oscar Wilde. I also wanted this look to be more feminine as opposed to many of the masculine examples we saw in class so I layered on 2 skirts. A brown skirt can be seen peeking underneath the eye-catching floral patterned skirt. Furthermore, I made Shannon pose as if she was elegantly putting on lipstick with her right hand while looking at a pocket watch with her left hand. Almost as if she was getting ready to go out.

For my dandy portrait, I mainly focus on the black, and gray colors. For the blazer, I chose one that is not so soft, so it can have some strength. I had a white blouse, black pants, a gray suit, and a light purple "scarf". The reason I chose the color light purple is I think it represents elegant like dandy style.

# data[].attributes.body
For my dandy portrait, I really wanted to include my own aesthetic and flair to the outfit. Mixing patterns is a crucial part to dandyism so I wore a cool-toned floral shirt with a ruffle collar to clash with the polka dot skirt (polka dots are my favorite pattern). To match the cool tones, I wore semi-sheer turquoise tights. Velvet was also a prevalent fabric so I included a velvet dress jacket. For accessories I wanted to stay consistant with the black fabric textures, I wore a black rhinestone tie, a black leather newsboy cap, and patent leather black flats (not pictured).

For my Dandy Project, I tried to compliment the hot pink pocket square while also making it pop. To do this, I used a blue plaid suit, a maroon and white striped bow tie, and a light pink shirt. I tried to incorporate fun colors and different patterns. The entire outfit is from my Dad's minus the pocket square. That is my sock.

# data[].attributes.body
For my Dandy Portrait, I wanted to find clothes that complement my red jacket. I found patterned pants with small red stripes to compliment the jacket and a tan blouse to match the pants. I borrowed a tan hat from my brother that goes with the color scheme to fit a more modern style of dandyism.

For my dandy portrait, I chose to mix patterns in my outfit. I chose an argyle vest paired with a houndstooth blazer. I mixed masculine pieces with feminine jewelry. The jewelry is acting as a bowtie for me since I couldn't find one that really went with the dandy aesthetic. I'm pictured in front of a pretty busy wall in my room with lots of pictures and colors.

For my Dandy Portrait I was inspired by the womens fashion in Dandys style, specifically Cecilys individualization of the style. She makes her Dandy fashion appear more innocent and youthful through her white/ pink palette, lace, and bows. I incorporated a white ribbon tied into a bow under my chest to secure a dress I used to layer as a skirt. I then stuffed pillow case under this layered dress to try and get the shape of Aunt Augustines dress. All of these components were put on top of a 90s dress.
