dandified
Dressed too finely
Dandified describes someone or something excessively concerned with elegant or fashionable appearance.
A dandified man dresses with elaborate care, perhaps too much care—the word carries a whiff of mockery.
It can also describe things styled with fussy refinement: a dandified walking stick, dandified prose.
From dandy, a man overly devoted to fashion.
