dandyish
Overly fashion-conscious
Dandyish describes someone or something resembling a dandy—a man excessively concerned with looking stylish and elegant.
The word suggests attention to fashionable dress, refined manners, and perhaps a touch of vanity or affectation: He arrived in a dandyish three-piece suit with a silk pocket square.
The tone can be admiring or gently mocking.
