No. A metrosexual is a "man" (using the term loosely) that, even more than a woman, is obsessed with outward physical care with attention to hair chemicals and having their hair "done", polished fingernails, massages, eye makeup. Clothing of the metrosexual is very effeminant and involves expensive texture, being tight against the profile of the body and can not be the least bit dirty.
Men like Jelly Bryce, on the other hand, would be called gentlemen today. Like daddy used to say, "anybody can wear just anything, but it takes an effort to be a gentleman." Taking pride in your appearance. Some men, back then, made more effort than others in keeping their suits clean an pressed.
