fashion statement
Bold clothing choice
A fashion statement is a clothing choice or style intended to express something about the wearer—their personality, values, or taste.
The phrase often suggests deliberate boldness or unconventionality: Her vintage fur coat was quite the fashion statement.
Used sarcastically, it can mock someone's questionable outfit: Nice socks with sandals—real fashion statement there.
