"范儿 (fànr)" is jargon borrowed from Beijing opera, the traditional Chinese operatic style. When the performers are ready to go on stage, they say they are "起范儿 (qǐ fànr)."
Recently, this word has been popping up in the media and daily life. You might have seen it in a fashion magazine or heard it in a shop. Normally used after adjectives, "范儿 (fànr)" can be used to describe most fashion styles. For instance, some common styles talked about these days in China are: "欧美范儿 (Ōu měi fànr) European-American style," and "甜美范儿(tiánměi fànr) luscious style." You can also say: "他真是太有范儿了 (tā zhēn shì tài yǒu fànr le)" which means "he has his own unique style."And "范儿 (fànr)" also can describe someone who generally has very good taste.
As "范儿 (fànr)" becomes more and more widespread, it can be used in many more creative ways. It can express someone who has a very good appearance, someone who is attractive, or someone whose style is awesome.
And remember, you say what kind of style you have by putting an adjective before "范儿 (fànr)." So what kind of style do you have?
