The idea of the black and white evening dress for men came from a gentleman called Beau Brummell. He also introduced the idea that a gentleman should not drown himself in scent and should change his underwear daily.

I always thought that he should get some sort of honor for the last.

Reminds me of the required diamond engagement ring tradition and De Beers. I knew of the band but didn’t know where Beau Brummell came from.

“He also introduced the idea that a gentleman should not drown himself in scent and should change his underwear daily.”

Well this is standard I can support.
