French term or phrase: chicard
Ho la definizione di questo termine, ma non so come e se renderlo in italiano:
"La définition de chicard dans le dictionnaire est personnage de carnaval se livrant à des danses grotesques dans les bals masqués, en vogue dans la deuxième partie du xix." [http://dictionnaire.education/fr/chicard]
Il contesto è invece questo:
"Il brille dans les bals masqués, - il a toujours un costume, attendu que la façon ne lui coûte rien et que les divers fragments d'étoffe dont il compose son travestissement chicard ne lui coûtent pas davantage."
Grazie dei vostri pareri.

sciccoso


Explanation:
sono d'accordo con Orlea, qui "chicard" sembra avere il significato "sciccoso" (a quanto pare viene usato con tono ironico e scherzoso)
sciccoso agg. [der. di scicche], pop. – Elegante, che ostenta una costosa eleganza; quasi sempre scherz. o piuttosto iron. (treccani)

Reference: chicard

Reference information:
Chicard fa chiaramente riferimento al personaggio del ballo in maschera: "Une des célébrités du Carnaval de Paris, Chicard, organisa même son propre bal annuel sur invitation : le bal Chicard. Ce bal était très fameux à Paris dans les années 1830-1850. Paul Gavarni lui a consacré un album : Souvenirs du bal Chicard."
Vedo che le vignette del libro in questione "Physiologie d'un tailleur", poi, sono proprio di Gavarni. Gavarni tra l'altro ha scritto pure "Physiologie d'un chicard"
