Aesthetics Wiki

This category includes aesthetics that utilize "chic" as a suffix in their name. The term "chic," borrowed from French, generally refers to something perceived to be stylish, elegant, and sophisticated. The use of "chic" as a suffix often indicates a particular take or variation on a broader aesthetic, aiming to imbue it with a sense of stylishness or a specific fashionable quality.

Important Note: "Chic" as a suffix is sometimes also used ironically, controversially, or to describe the superficial adoption of visual elements associated with problematic or traditionally non-stylish concepts (e.g., Nazi Chic, Heroin Chic, Communist Chic). In such cases, the primary categorization of the aesthetic will reflect its core themes and origins, and the inclusion in this suffix category is purely structural based on the name.
