fashionable and attractive in look
Looking modern and good, with clothes or design that show good taste.
Gebruikspatroon:
[something] is stylish
Veelgemaakte fout:
Learners sometimes confuse "stylish" with "style" and say *"She is a style"* instead of "She is stylish" or "She has style." Another mistake is overusing "fashion" as an adjective, saying *"a fashion dress"* instead of "a stylish dress" or "a fashionable dress."
