sartorial elegance
Well-dressed refinement
Sartorial elegance is refined taste and sophistication in dress—clothing that fits impeccably, coordinates thoughtfully, and projects an impression of cultivated style.
The phrase often describes someone whose wardrobe choices seem effortless yet precise: He was known for his sartorial elegance, never appearing without a pocket square.
The term carries a slightly formal, admiring tone.
