Isn't this forum great?

I've found in the dictionary "cut a fine figure" and "cut a dash" : usually said of a male, to look good or elegant; people admire their appearance, usually because they are wearing attractive clothes.

Thank you Glen, and again, thank you everybody.

Here a possible dialogue mixing both languages:

- He cuts a fine figure...
- Es la percha [other person wearing the same clothes would look over-dressed/ugly/as in a disguise/not so swell]
