Once again I am asking you to read fashion historian Cassidy Percoco's Twitter thread about changes in men's fashion in the 18th and 19th centuries.
It's a quick read and informative! In brief:
Men's fashion became more subdued over the course of the 18th century
Beau Brummell had nothing to do with the move away from earlier styles
I quote: "Brummell made his name by wearing the hell out of what already was considered fashionable - working within the parameters of normal dress"
Colourful men's fashion was a thing for most of the 19th century!!!! It didn't go away in the Regency period!!!!
Stop with the long-debunked "Beau Brummell ruined men's fashion" canard, I'm begging you.
I looked up this "Great Male Renunciation" concept, since I have never heard of such a thing even in books dedicated to the history of men's fashion, and surprise! It was coined by a psychologist in 1930!
One of the sources cited by Wikipedia is Nicholas Storey's book History of Men's Fashion: What the Well-dressed Man is Wearing, which I own, and it's so dull and lazy and awful that I still haven't moved it to my new apartment. The author is literally a British barrister with no academic background in dress history, who openly admits to not owning more than two fashion history books in a 2013 interview, and that checks out with what I remember about his book: his opinionated blather on what he thinks is a good man's suit, as a rich lawyer guy.
I'm not saying that you couldn't find more respectable sources to support the "Great Male Renunciation" idea, but I don't think it's very supported by the historical record. You can say a lot about changing fashions and ideas about masculinity without setting up an over-hyped and dramatic break from past styles.

have you ever had the urge to fistfight beau brummel? i certainly have
I assume you're referring to the infuriating popular myth that he somehow transformed all menswear and made everything boring during the relatively brief time that he was popular and influential, even though menswear was already well on its way to becoming more plain when he was a small child and there were plenty more fancy & exciting styles after he died, so no.

I would much rather fight the ignorant fool who wrote that goddamn bullshit twitter thread and that goddamn bullshit esquire article about him.

It may seem like a hundred years have passed, yet the movies still don't get old. Find time (two hours) and watch this movie.

Behind the Bastards is doing Beau Brummell this week. Since I actually know something about fashion history (more than the average person anyway), this has the potential to go really poorly.

Introducing Beau brummell, the 18th century fashion Police 💅
He's the one who Prinnified Prinny and judged everyone who passed by 😎

( I wonder if I should make a separate profile with just him being the fashion police. Ah, maybe in the future)

It's not fair --
That we are completely denied the pleasure of seeing Peter as Darcy.

Not to mention seeing him as a complete dandy, as Beau Brummell
No man should look that good in regency period style.

finished watching Beau Brummell with orgy and holy fucking shit the gay drama... the prideful breakup... the avoidance.... the sad late reconciliation resulting in one dying, but not before they say goodbye one last time....

Your periodic reminder that western men's fashion peaks at dress suits because some chud in the 18th century decided that men couldn't be pretty.

Like men, understand what was taken from you. The color. The style. Leggings. My brothers in Apollo do you understand the joy of wearing leggings? It should not be limited to women.

Seriously Beau Brummell is the fucking worst.

It's the same picture. It's also boring.
Here's a thread that goes into great detail:
