How to best translate Шикарный in English

One of my online dic says "smart" but that does not fit with my french translation which is

"chic" which I would translate as "classy" in English

Chic it is (elegant, stylish)

Chic is understood in English, so use it.

splendid, opulent, magnificent

posh

luxurious

I'd say "fabulous" 8)

Don't translate shikarny as posh. You can't have a shikarny accent, a shikarny school, etc. Shikarny is not posh.

I still say opulent or splendid.

All depends on context... Thus, we could have шикарный акцент, шикарную школу, шикарную работу, и прочая, прочая, прочая...

Splendid school (job, accent etc). Would suit fine to me.

ШИКАРНЫЙ -ая, -ое; -рен, -рна (разг.) Роскошный по внешности, убранству. Ш вид. Шикарно (нареч.) одеваться. || сущ. шикарность, -и, ж.

Therefore chic, opulent, and sumptuous will do.

You can't have a shikarny accent but you CAN have a shikarny school.
