Fashion vs schick

chic / stylish

'schick' and 'die Fashion' can both express that something looks fashionable and stylish. 'schick' is a normal German adjective and fits in many situations, including when you want to look elegant or well put together. 'die Fashion' is used colloquially and rather playfully as an unchanging adjective. It sounds more strongly connected to trends, the fashion world, or youth language. In everyday life, 'schick' is usually more natural and more neutral. 'Fashion' fits better when you are deliberately talking about style in a modern or casual way.
