Definition
姿态 (zī tài) covers both physical posture and figurative attitude/stance. For physical posture, it's broader than 姿势 (specific body position) and more formal than 架势 (often showy). For figurative stance, it overlaps with 态度 (attitude) but emphasizes the outward expression or approach, not just inner opinion. 台风 and 风度 are narrower (stage presence, elegant demeanor).
