Dapper
含义: A man who is neatly and stylishly dressed, looking polished and well-groomed.
Dapper specifically describes men who dress well with a classic, refined sense of style. Think clean haircut, tailored clothes, and attention to details like pocket squares and cufflinks. It carries a slightly old-fashioned charm and implies elegance rather than trendiness.
