It means "as far as[the word to which you have appended 'wise'] is concerned.
Colourwise -- in regard to colour.
Fashionwise -- in relation to fashion.
Stylewise -- as far as style is concerned.
You can add -wise to most common nouns and by so doing you turn them into adjectives. Grammarwise they are adjectives as a result of this.
I use this form occasionally.
