: : Can anyone back up my use of the expresion "You are looking very swish" to describe a well dressed lady as a compliment. I remember this expression from my childhood in England

: SWISH adj. (Brit. informal) impressively smart and casual - Compact OED (I can't afford the unzipped version!)

That should be 'impressively smart and fashionable.' Having another senior moment!
