English term or phrase: instant neck-breaking look
Cue the cliché Nelly “Air Force Ones” quote: “Don’t nothing get the hype on first sight like, white on whites.” Nelly is absolutely right though, nothing really catches the eye faster than a brand new, crisp white pair of XXXX Air Force 1s. They are, without a doubt, the symbolic shoe of summer. Even when the sun shines on them, they’re so bright and clean and the shoe makes every outfit an ***instant neck-breaking look***.

che (sicuramente) non passa inosservato


Explanation:
L'outfit non passa inosservato, fa girare le persone per guardarti.

da urban dictionary:

When you're so hot that people break their necks when they try to look back at you.

sempre da UD:

Neckbreakers
A pair of sneakers that is so mind-blowingly incredible that they cause passers-by to "break necks" as they walk past, turning their heads violently in an unnatural direction so as not to let the sneakers out of their field of vision.
