frump
Fashion's opposite type
A frump is a dowdy, unstylish person—someone whose appearance suggests indifference to fashion or attractiveness.
The word carries mild contempt, implying not just unfashionable dress but a certain drabness of manner: She felt like a frump next to her glamorous sister.
Frumpy is the more common adjective form: frumpy clothes, a frumpy cardigan.
