English term or phrase: put on the style
Context:

"Sweet sixteen goes to church
Just to see the boys
Laughs and screams and giggles
At every little noise
Turns her face a little
And turns her head awhile
But everybody knows she's
Only putting on the style "

O idee aş avea eu, dar nu sunt sigur. Cred că e sinonim cu "show off", adicătelea codana de 16 anişori se fâţâie prin faţa evlavioşilor băieţi de la biserică, dar nu sunt sigur. Aştept ideile voastre.
Mulţumesc.
