Dressing as a gentleman of 1600s Stuart England

Greetings, gentlemen,

Should one ever have contemplated a perennial question of refinement—namely, how a gentleman, such as our intrepid Lord Belhume (

@Rene Belhume

)of Stuart England prepared himself for court—this presentation offers a fitting answer. The accompanying video delineates the essential elements of courtly attire: cane, periwig, pumps, hose, and the sturdy undershirt upon which all elegance rests.

Here we are instructed in the manners and vestments befitting the reign of His Majesty King Charles I, wherein dignity, proportion, and cultivated restraint converge. Such attire does not merely clothe the body, but orders the man himself, revealing what remains possible when elegance, discipline, and courtly grace are taken seriously.

Cheers
