Wrinkled, crimped, or having a crepe-like texture with fine wavy ridges.
Derived from 'crepe' (a thin, wrinkled fabric) plus the adjective suffix '-y.' The underlying word comes from French 'crêpe,' ultimately from Latin 'crispus' meaning curled.
Creply skin is usually a sign of sun damage and dehydration, but some fabrics are intentionally made creply to create texture and visual interest—Japanese crepe-textured papers are prized for their elegant, refined appearance.
