EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back to the year 1666, during the reign of King Charles II, when fashion took a bold turn towards the East. The man in the photograph, a dandy or beau of the time, proudly wears the latest fashion introduced by the monarch - a long vest or sleeved waistcoat, inspired by Persian and Turkish coats. Charles II, known for his love of exotic influences, brought this new style to England after his travels in the Mediterranean. The vest, which covered the entire torso, was a marked departure from the short, waist-length vests that had been popular in the previous decades. The sleeves, reaching down to the wrists, added an air of sophistication and elegance. This fashion trend, which emerged in 1666, was embraced by the fashionable men of the court and the city. The long vest became a symbol of the new, modern man, signifying a break from the past and a desire to embrace the latest trends from abroad. The man in the photograph exudes an air of confidence and style, his posture proud and his gaze steady. The vest was often worn with a coat, as shown in this image, or with breeches and a cravat. The body of the vest was usually made of rich, velvet fabric, while the sleeves were often lined with silk or satin. The result was a striking and eye-catching ensemble, which set the fashionable men of the time apart from their less fashion-conscious counterparts. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the world of fashion in the late 17th century, a time when the influence of the East was at its height and men were eager to make a statement with their clothing. The long vest, with its exotic origins and modern design, was a perfect embodiment of this trend, and remains an intriguing and captivating part of fashion history.
