the look that was popular in the 90s and is coming back now. being waif skinny, pale, tired and sickly looking, using cigarette smoke as perfume, lanky, and wearing clothes that hang off your emaciated body will give you the 'heroin chic' look. you are supposed to look like you have been up for the past week partying and you are worn out (but in a cool way). there was a lot of public outcry about this look saying it encouraged children to try drugs and saying drugs were cool.

dark bags under the eyes, bed-head, oversized clothing, and dark sunglasses are some of the telltale signs that the subject may be 'heroin-chic'. Despite looking like a bit of a slob, these individuals give off an air of confidence and glamor, a certain haughtiness amidst their substance abusing, crucifix wearing, and generally unhealthy appearance.
Kate Moss and Johnny Depp are both heroin chic.

The yuppie fashion of going out to breakfast after night of heavy drinking by intentionally putting on their cutest sweatpants, flip flops, uggz, north face vests, over-sized sun glasses, and any other frumpy-yet-fashionable attire so that everyone at the restaurant knows they went out the previous night and that makes it totally alright to be an asshole to the wait staff and other patrons
when a group of JAP's sat next to me decked out in hangover chic and ordered mimosa's, I knew complaining and whining were going to be part of my breakfast

The thinking of elite radical leftists which is thought of as supporters and promoters of reforms or political and social changes more striking and unrealistic than substantial. Normally socialists who have no idea about the real world but they believe that can change the world by using the example of Che Guevara. They are normally conducting upper-class lifestyles but they are full of good and unrealistic sentiments.
JEN: He is so cool, yesterday he told me how we should really reevaluate the Hegelian dialectics in order to really change and understand our unequal society. But he is not a stupid hipster he is different.
TOM: Jen come on is just a fucking radical chic...

A more chic way of spelling chick lit, which is sappy, pulp fiction written for airheads by manipulative bitches looking to make a quick buck.
Chick lit author: "I want to a buy a big house in Beverley Hills so I'm typing out 10,000 words of cliche dross. I'll run in through my wordprocessor's spell checker / thesaurus / grammar checker, then send it to a vanity publisher and market it as 'chic lit' because that's selling at the moment.
