Slang. Also written dripped out.
Where it comes from
Hip-hop slang that broke through around 2017 through Atlanta rap, though the sense of style "dripping" off someone is older. It replaced "swag" almost completely, which had become unusable through overexposure.
How it is actually used
A mass noun — someone "has drip", they are not "a drip". "Dripped out" is the adjective. It emphasises assembled taste rather than an expensive item alone: a well-composed thrifted outfit has drip, one costly logo piece does not necessarily. Frequently used as a whole caption on an outfit post.
Examples
- "the drip is undefeated"
- "dripped out for a Tuesday"
- "where is the drip from"
Can a brand use it? Safe for brands
Widely understood and carries no edge. Fashion, sneaker and lifestyle brands use it freely; it will just sound odd from a category with nothing visual to show.
