Outré is a French word English borrowed and never quite made ordinary. It means strange in a way that goes a bit too far — unusual, and slightly shocking. Not merely a bit different, but enough to make people stare. You hear it about clothes, art, taste, and behaviour, mostly from people talking about fashion or culture, or in writing that wants a raised . It still feels French, and a little fancy. If you say a hat is outré, you are not only saying it is odd; you are saying it steps past what most people find proper, on purpose or not.
出格的、驚世駭俗的（過頭的怪，不是普通的特別）
組成French outré, from outrer, to go to excess; related to French outre, beyond.
