I have to admit: I’m kinda over calling everything chic.
The whole “kinda chic” trend took over my timeline and made me realize… at this point, what does “chic” even mean?
We use it for minimalism, French-girl dressing, maximalism, quiet luxury: basically every aesthetic we approve of eventually gets called “chic.”
So has the word become so broad that it barely means anything anymore?
What does “chic” mean to you in 2026?
