How it's used
Describes someone whose appearance is notably fashionable, polished, or sophisticated. It carries a sense of effort and visual impact, often implying that the person looks ready for a social event or a night out. Unlike general terms for looking good, this specifically highlights a trendy or high-end aesthetic.
Examples
You are dressed so trendily today, are you going to a wedding banquet?

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe someone who is simply wearing clean or professional clothes, as it specifically implies a sense of flair or trendiness. It is strictly an adjective for appearance and cannot be used to describe the quality of an object or a person's character.
