Elegant, fashionable, and expensive, often suggesting luxury or high social status.
Where the word comes from
From the Ritz Hotel in Paris, opened in 1898 by Swiss hotelier César Ritz. The hotel became famous for its luxury and opulence, and by the early 1900s "ritzy" emerged in English slang to mean fashionably elegant or high-class. The word passed from a proper noun (the hotel's name) into a common adjective describing anything posh or stylish.
