Dapper Dan
Sharply dressed fellow
Dapper Dan is a man who dresses stylishly and with meticulous attention to appearance—well-groomed, sharply dressed, perhaps a bit vain about it.
The phrase has an old-fashioned, slightly teasing quality: He showed up looking like a real Dapper Dan in his three-piece suit.
The name also belongs to Daniel Day, a Harlem designer famous for custom luxury streetwear.
