The Meaning of Libertine
"Identical to the king of clubs, he wore a broad-brimmed hat for the sun, riding boots, and the black cloak favored by educated libertines"
What does "libertine" mean in the above context? This is what my Longman dictionary suggests but it's a bit strange to me.
"someone who leads an immoral life and always looks for pleasure, especially sexual pleasure"
And what's the meaning of "Favor" here?
