foppish

Excessively concerned with appearance

Foppish describes someone excessively concerned with their appearance, dress, and manners—vain about looking elegant or fashionable.

The word carries a note of mockery, suggesting the person's attention to refinement is overdone or effeminate: his foppish silk cravat, a foppish young man preening in the mirror.

The noun is fop.
