What does 攻めた mean when used about someone's appearance? I came across the expression recently, and I'd like to know what exactly it means. The original sentence was uttered by a character that was surprised to see another in a wildly different place and outfit than expected of them: > At first, I thought it meant something like "outrageous outfit"; but looking it up on google, I came across pictures of outfits that didn't seem outrageous to me - some were rather modest, even though they were tagged as , which I'd guess has a similar meaning. So, what does it mean exactly when used in this context?

/ basically means "aggressive" _in a positive sense_. It's an antonym of "modest" or "conservative".

What is considered largely depends on the context. If someone's outfit is relatively more eye-catching or fashionable than usual, that alone can be a reason one would say . An otaku might be told "!" just by dressing like a normal person. And it can be closer to "outrageous" if used sarcastically and euphemistically. Try an image search for , and you'll find a lot of people dressed in extraordinary ways.
