How it's used

This expression specifically targets the appearance of men, implying a combination of neat grooming and formal or semi-formal attire. It carries a slightly old-fashioned or playful nuance, often used to tease someone who has made an uncharacteristic effort to look polished. It is rarely used to describe women, for whom other terms like 斯文 or 靚女 are preferred.

Common mistake

Do not use this to describe a woman, as it is strictly gendered for men. Also, avoid using it for someone who is just wearing expensive clothes; the focus is on the overall neatness and well-groomed presentation rather than the price tag.
