Shabby Chic

Something (maybe someone, i.e., Joan Collins) that's rather worn out/tattered yet has a touch of understated class.

Example of a shabby chic attire:

Slightly ratty but damn gorgeous Prada handbag, with a pair of Vivian Westwood slacks, and perhaps some frayed cashmere sweater.

Shabby Chic

A "style" invented by paint manufacturers to promote painting things then rubbing most of it back off, and people with no money who don't mind living with old crap battered furniture.

I love your shabby chic furniture, it looks so.... old and crap!

My shabby chic slut totally made me this vintage distressed collage of her breasts after she fucked me hard last night.

shabby chicanery

Hybrid term melding "shabby chic" and "chicanery."

shabby chic:
a style using worn and deteriorated items to achieve an elegant overall effect

chicanery:
trickery or deception by quibbling or sophistry

Shabby chicanery:
Constant failed attempts at using second-hand items in one's home decor to achieve a look of false elegance. Result is invariably much more Salvation Army than Apres-La-Guerre.

Another broke down La-Z-Boy? Enough with the shabby chicanery, already.
