Okay please somebody tell me, what does "it looks edgy" even mean?

Whether a host is speaking of jewelry or clothes, what the heck does it mean? Or what the heck does "it takes it to the next level",mean? What was the first level?

I think edgy means fashionable, as in "on the cutting edge."

I think that phrase "it looks edgy" refers to the term "cutting edge" meaning brand-new, modern, the latest thing, etc. However, I recall that "edgy" used to mean nervous or tense - "on the edge of your seat". As for "take it to the next level", that's a good question. Perhaps it means "higher up" or "better" or "more sophisticated". I'm just guessing. I wish people talked like they used to!

I think it means "taking a risk" with your fashion look......looking a little sexy and wearing what others have not thought about yet. The cut of a jacket, a blouse, etc.....or some extremely different shoes.

Walking in with confidence and daring....going to the edge of what is considered "normal".

Same as "pushing the envelope" whatever that is! LOL

A piece that's going to be noticed, not safe, something beyond trendy...

I have a sinking feeling that I am still at the first level in something that has no edges. Maybe I need something other than sweats for housework.

It means you are probably too old to wear it.

""Toughen up a look"" is the same as being edgy.

Pairing a leather moto jacket with a rose printed dress...clunky boots with a pencil skirt...a skull ring with a brocade dress...

combining feminine and masculine elements in an outfit.

Via the online Urban Dictionary;

Edgy: Applied to books, music, or even haircuts which tend to challenge societal norms and reveal the dark side. Cutting edge.


Next level: Something or someone on a level above all the rest of the world. The person on the 'NEXT LEVEL' usually thinks differently from everyone, hence why he is known as NEXT LEVEL. A thing can also be called NEXT LEVEL. Anything above average basically.
