well-groomed

Tidy in appearance

Well-groomed describes a person whose appearance shows careful attention to hygiene and dress—clean, neat, and polished: a well-groomed young man in a tailored suit.

The term extends to animals, especially horses and dogs prepared for show.

A well-groomed lawn or garden is similarly tidy and maintained.
