cool factor
What trendsetters have
Cool factor is the quality that makes something appealing, stylish, or desirable in a way that's hard to quantify but immediately recognizable.
It's what separates the merely functional from the genuinely attractive: The sports car has serious cool factor, That jacket's cool factor is off the charts.
Marketing and design discussions often treat cool factor as a measurable asset, though its components resist precise definition.
