Pintoso
A well dressed, elegant person who clearly cares about their appearance and always looks sharp. In Mexico and Colombia, calling someone "pintoso" is a compliment about their presentation and style. It is the kind of word you use for someone who shows up to a party looking like they spent real time getting ready, and it paid off. Not flashy or over the top, just consistently put together.
