Your E is very chic (?)

In the loo in a pub in Richmond last night. 2 young women chatting, as I was going out one of them tapped me on the back and said “your E is very chic”.
any idea what that means? I’m 63 and not particularly stylish

Well, chic means stylish / fashionable / elegant, no idea about the e bit. Were you wearing something beginning with an e? Could it mean edgy? I need a teen to tell me now 😀 presumably delivered in a friendly positive way, no mocking vibe?

Energy?

I know it’s not E but probably aesthetic

Seems likely.

Misheard maybe? What were you wearing - could it have been "Your tee is very chic"? As in tee-shirt, quite often referred to as a tee nowadays.

Could they have meant 'tee' as in 't-shirt'?

Well that dress is chic.

They mean your energy or your vibe.

I imagine you have a great figure to wear that dress.

I was wearing this

Nice dress. They must have meant your positive energy.

Nobody sane could think “aesthetic” starts with an “e”; it doesn’t even sound remotely like it does.

They may be referring to “energy”?

Ah, thanks all. Just never heard that one before. Was curious 😊

Could it be regarding the Ecovero?

Unless you were holding an E cigarette, I think they mean Energy.
Fab dress!

You probably look glamorous and they liked your dress. I'm not too young (47) but every time I see a chic woman who is older than me I think I want to be like that when I grow up. Maybe they thought the same?
