How it's used
Refers to trends or styles that are currently popular, but it carries a slightly more formal or sophisticated tone compared to the everyday word 興. While 興 is used for anything from a viral snack to a dance move, 时尚 is reserved for aesthetics, design, and lifestyle trends. It is frequently used in media, advertising, and discussions about personal style.
Examples
She loves chasing fashion and buys new clothes all the time.
Is this way of dressing no longer in vogue?

Common mistake
Avoid using it to describe a person who is trendy, as that would be 潮人. Using it to describe a person directly can sound unnatural or overly literary.
