Morphology
boofy + style
The modifier 'boofy' is not attested or defined here, so a B1 learner who only knows the constituent 'style' has no lexical basis to derive the compound meaning. There is no transparent compositional pattern or clear cross‑linguistic analogue to infer what 'boofy' denotes, so the phrase's meaning cannot be predicted from its parts.
Etymology
Boofy style may come from the image of something 'boofy' as a soft puff or big, puffy shape, like loud clothes or big hair that take up space. So boofy style means a 'bold' or 'eye-catching' way of dressing or speaking that makes someone stand out.
