How it's used
Originally derived from the English word "fluffy," this term has evolved to describe someone who is either romantically unfaithful or excessively concerned with flashy, superficial appearances. It carries a slightly judgmental tone, implying that the person lacks substance or loyalty. When used to describe clothing, it suggests an outfit that is overly ornate, colorful, or attention-seeking.
Examples
He is very flirtatious and changes girlfriends all the time.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the word 浮誇, which specifically refers to being exaggerated or dramatic in behavior. While both can imply a lack of seriousness, 花弗 focuses more on romantic instability or flashy fashion choices.
