drip

What it means

Stylish, eye-catching clothing, accessories, or overall swagger. Having 'drip' means your outfit and look are on point, and you can 'drip out' by dressing impressively.

Examples

Where it comes from

Popularized in hip-hop culture in the mid-2010s (with Atlanta rappers like the Migos helping spread it), 'drip' became Gen Z's default term for fashion swagger by the end of the decade.
