Cleverly Clothed
Over the years, we’ve received various unsolicited comments on our manner of attire—from the archaic “fashion plate” to the more timely “dandy” (which, while appreciated, is somewhat of a misnomer for us). That said, we’re not as concerned with the semantics of style as much as the selectivity with which we accouter ourselves. And for much of our lives, we’ve felt isolated in this endeavor, with little more than a GQ subscription to guide our way. How things have changed. There’s been a resurgence, if not outright evolution of men’s style and we’ve seen its impact everywhere, from the growing number of bespoke tailoring services in the city, to the ever increasing number of men who not only wear suits (when not required) but also choose their clothing and accessories with discernment and charm.
And it’s with this ethos in mind that the ever-rakish Poull Brien founded Cleverly Clothed, New York’s singular event series that connects the most dapper of men with new custom clothiers and men’s accessories brands while mingling with others (both men and women) of like-minded and distinguished taste. This bi-monthly bacchanal combines the opportunity for networking with the simple joie de vivre that a little imbibing in the presence of exceptionally dressed individuals can only inspire. And given that Dapper Scout is one of the co-hosts for this Friday’s event at Ella (see invitation above for details), we’re giving away exclusive complimentary passes to the first 20 readers who email us at info@dapperscout.com. For those that don’t hear back from us, you can RSVP directly with Cleverly Clothed. We’re looking forward to seeing you and it goes without saying, proper cocktail attire is required.
