What is fashionably late?

"Fashionably late" is a term used to describe arriving at an event or gathering after the expected or designated start time, but doing so in a way that is perceived as stylish, deliberate, or intentional. It implies that the late arrival was planned or calculated, rather than due to poor time management or lack of consideration for others.

Being fashionably late can be seen as a way to make a grand entrance, create intrigue, or stand out from the crowd. However, it is important to strike a balance between being fashionably late and showing respect for the host or the schedule of the event.

While being fashionably late can sometimes be seen as a sign of sophistication or confidence, it is not always appropriate or appreciated. It is important to consider the context and expectations of the event before deciding to arrive late.
