nobby
Smartly turned out
Nobby is British slang for smart, stylish, or fashionably elegant—suggesting upper-class taste or affectation: a nobby suit, looking quite nobby for the occasion.
The word is old-fashioned and rarely encountered today.
It derives from nob, slang for a person of high social standing.
