Drip
Drip means standout style, especially clothes, shoes, accessories, and the confident way someone puts a look together.
People use drip as a compliment when someone looks sharp without seeming like they tried too hard. It usually points to fashion first, but it also carries attitude: confidence, taste, and that clean put-together energy people notice in photos, fit checks, comments, and group chats.
If you call someone drippy or say they have drip, you are basically saying their look has presence.
