inside-out
Seams now showing
Inside-out describes something turned so that its inner surface faces outward, like a shirt pulled off carelessly.
The phrase extends to thoroughness: if you know something inside out (or inside and out), you understand it completely, from every angle.
As an adjective, inside-out can describe an approach that starts from core principles and works outward: an inside-out redesign of the company's culture.
