Krypton! You should see it.
Also, how old are we talking?

There's a certain devil-may-care foppishness invoked in bitching about fashion as an alternative to gallows humor. Put another way, he needs to be stylish without being a default authority figure, which is more of what I consider Colin Salmon's wheelhouse.
FWIW Ive only seen Salmon in Arrow, which was a character that never got more carefree than a sad, burdened half-smile. So I may just be underestimating his range.

He usually plays characters with a commanding presence. But that's kind of how I picture Steed. Your take on him seems more foppish than mine. I took him as concerned about his appearance, but no more than your typical British gentleman. And his use of Casual capital Letters struck me as more "assumed British superiority" than "foppish dandy".
Dina:
So, you are thinking a young Roger Moore?
Ananda:
Anders Hagström from Ashbury Heights band is dapper. :)

Ya, my read was definitely more on the foppish side of it; still competent in the extreme, but the sort of guy that puts effort into being disarmingly charming, who doesnt want the first impression to be a commanding presence or anything so formidable. Which makes sense since he's a chronomancer that makes the rest of the council nervous. I pictured him more the sort of guy that surprises the hell out of people when he whips a sword out of his cain and actually knows how to use it.
