Yes, that is more along the lines of the expression.

Thank you all for a family of valuable expressions on the same topic.

I would say that a person "con buena percha" has all the basic proportions and volumes so they make their clothes look good, what in turn makes them look good.

A man with "buena percha" is slim, has a flat belly but also a pretty flat chest, his shoulder line is wide -no matter under his garment his collarbones seem protuberant-, and his measures for chest-waist-hip is about 100-80-90 (40-32-36) or so, for a 1.80-1.85m height (around 6'). I mean, the man may be pretty thin, zero-pack, with pale greenish skin, a bit asymmetrical, with low nipples, but when he wears a suit he looks like he's a Greek god. Even clothes of a lesser quality look good on him and make him look good. That's the power of a "buena percha".
