"Simplex Munditiis, Gentlemen" by Delano de Lannoy and Arnold is a guide on men's fashion and etiquette written in the late 19th century. The book serves to instruct gentlemen on the principles of simple elegance in dress, emphasizing the importance of good taste and refinement in social interactions. It aims to elevate men's clothing choices and social behavior to align with the societal expectations of the time. At the start of the text, the author discusses the significance of dress as a reflection of taste and character, asserting that any man can dress well without needing wealth. The introduction outlines the various categories of men's clothing, such as morning, afternoon, and evening wear, detailing the specific items and materials that constitute each category. The first few sections provide comprehensive advice on proper attire, including guidelines for hats, gloves, shoes, and coats, establishing a clear standard for what is deemed fashionable and appropriate for a gentleman.
