How it's used
Focuses on a blend of aesthetic appeal and personal charisma, often implying that someone carries themselves with confidence. While it can describe physical appearance, it frequently highlights a person's demeanor, actions, or unique sense of style. It is a versatile compliment that works well for both men and women in casual social settings.
Examples
He looks so cool wearing these glasses.

Common mistake
Avoid using it to describe inanimate objects that are merely pretty or cute, as it specifically carries a sense of coolness or edge. It is not interchangeable with 靚 which is a general term for good-looking.
