chic

Wenn etwas sehr modern, elegant oder hübsch aussieht, besonders bei Kleidung oder dem Aussehen einer Person.

The German word "chic" is an adjective that means "stylish" or "elegant". It is borrowed from the French word "chic," which retains the same meaning. In German, "chic" is used to describe something that is fashionable or well-designed.

Similar words in German include:

  • "modisch" (fashionable)
  • "geschmackvoll" (tasteful)
  • "elegant" (elegant)

Differences:

  • "Modisch" focuses specifically on being in line with current fashion trends.
  • "Geschmackvoll" implies a sense of good taste and aesthetics, often used in a broader context that can include but isn't limited to fashion.
  • "Elegant" emphasizes gracefulness and refinement, sometimes more suited to formal attire or sophisticated looks than "chic."

"Chic" combines elements of fashionability and elegance but is more commonly used in a casual or general context compared to "elegant".
