I'll show you guys a sexy looking aircraft.
Sleek, graceful, and yet you can still see it's power. It's... refined.

Quality 'refined' finish on that too
No doubt the 262 is a beautiful aircraft, I personally love the utilitarian look of the Hurricane, but no one who has functioning eyes can fail to see the traits you are describing, i.e grace and refinement, are defined by the Spitfire.
Many countries have produced some stunning aircraft, perfect examples of form meeting function, the British have been responsible for a good number of these. In many cases they have been the benchmark designs which many successful aircraft of other countries have drawn on.
