Tener (buena) percha

This phrase is used to describe a person, generally a man, who doesn't necessarily have a handsome body but wears most sets of clothes as if he had it. It means, the person's body is good proportioned and well tailored clothes make him look very elegant and attractive.

I can't find an English equivalent. Believe me, that "having a good rack" that is mentioned in several sites is not it at all.
