Get the Chavmug. adj. of or relating to chavs (particularly chavstyle).
The 'chav' look has its roots in the clothes worn by aspirational working-class youths. Often involving knock-off designer gear or premium spotswear (stolen) and a cheeky smile, chav style tries, but fails to conform to traditional affluent conceptions of 'what looks good'.
Chavvy dress evolved beyond the boundaries of a single social class when youngsters from affluent backgrounds began adopting the look in order to shirk their stuffy and privileged image.
Recently, the blatantly subversive character of chavs' clothes has itself become a desirable trait for the fashion-forward. Disregard for the wellfare of haût brands and irreverence toward the gospel of sophistication have resulted in new fashion trends rooted in chavstyle.
