vogue

What's in now

Vogue is the prevailing fashion or style at a particular time: Minimalist design is in vogue right now.

Something in vogue is popular and widely adopted; something out of vogue has fallen from favor.

The word often carries a hint of transience—what's in vogue today may be passé tomorrow.

To vogue is to strike dramatic poses imitating fashion models, a dance style originating in Black and Latino LGBTQ ballroom culture. (Capitalized Vogue is the fashion magazine.)
