hipness

Being in vogue

Hipness is the quality of being hip—aware of and attuned to current trends, styles, or cultural movements.

It suggests an effortless cool, a sense that someone naturally knows what's fashionable or relevant: Her hipness made her the go-to person for music recommendations.

The word can carry irony when applied to those who try too hard.
