About

The word "时髦" is formed by combining the character "时", meaning "time" or "current", with "髦", which originally referred to the long hair on an animal's neck but here metaphorically denotes "style" or "elegance". Together, they literally convey "current style", thus signifying what is fashionable or in vogue.
