Drip
Stylish outfit energy — jewelry, sneakers, and confidence that read as expensive even when they are not.
Definition
Drip describes someone's fashion and accessories — the overall look, especially when it feels flashy, cohesive, or high-end. 'He got drip' means his style hits. It can refer to jewelry ('ice'), sneakers, or the whole fit. Unlike a one-off compliment, drip implies consistent taste and presence.
History
Drip grew out of Atlanta hip-hop and streetwear culture in the 2010s, popularized in lyrics by Gunna, Playboi Carti, and others. The word spread through rap streaming and Instagram fit pics, then became mainstream TikTok vocabulary during the late 2010s sneaker and streetwear boom.
