The "Q" will be devistated to find out they are excluded!!!

Thanks for the list.  How would you describe a "contemporary" look?  I think that might be chic too, maybe???  I like contemporary styles and some classic thrown in a bit here and there.

They are in a class all their own.

These are some examples of what I think of as chic.

Sorry, but IMO, most of those on the list are ridiculous.  For example:

Dressage

the art of riding and training a horse in a manner that develops obedience, flexibility, and balance:

What does that have to do with the word "chic?"

I'd like to see people stop changing words definitions.  It may be time for the English Police.

JMO, but I don't think all those Google words represent "chic" fashion or style. I guess it depends on your definition of chic.

I googled images of "chic" and the "chic" refers to what the rider is wearing.

One of my nieces "rides."

Yes, I know exactly how dressage "chic" is being used.

Dictionaries usually know the correct definition of words, though.  

Here's another dictionary definition.

Dressage ( / ˈdrɛsɑːʒ / or / drɪˈsɑːʒ /; a French term, most commonly translated to mean "training") is a form of horse riding performed in exhibition and competition, as well as an art sometimes pursued solely for the sake of mastery.

In no way does it apply to what the rider wears or how riders look in their riding outfits. It's all about training a horse.  

Examples of other words where definitions are incorrectly used.

 "Snowfake,' those beautiful frozen objects that make up snow.  How is it used today?

Another one is "Karen," with no regards to females who have that name. 

There are many other words.   

It's not a huge irritant that I obsess over.  Just expressing an opinion here.
