Sharp
Significado: Well-dressed in a crisp, polished way — looking neat and impressive.
Looking 'sharp' means being dressed in a clean, precise, and impressive manner. It's often used for more formal or semi-formal dressing — a well-fitted suit, a pressed shirt, polished shoes. Unlike 'drippy' or 'fly' which are streetwear-oriented, 'sharp' has a more classic, timeless connotation.
