/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "TREEN" (as in "tree")/
An elegant, well-dressed person with a distinguished look. In Mexico, catrín comes from the tradition of the "catrines," those fancy gentlemen with mustaches and top hats from the early 1900s, famously depicted in José Guadalupe Posada's "La Catrina" skeleton. Today it's used to compliment someone who's looking sharp and put-together.
“He showed up looking super sharp at the wedding, he even looked like a model.”
“Did you see the new neighbor? Very dapper, that man.”
