Compare with
trendy vs in
in
'in' and 'trendy' can both describe something that is currently fashionable. In this meaning, 'in' is very short and rather colloquial. You often hear it with clothing, music, or things that are currently popular. 'trendy' is an adjective and sounds a bit more international or advertising-like. It fits well when something seems deliberately modern. Important: 'in' is also very often a preposition for place, direction, or time. As a trend word, you can usually recognize it because it is used with 'sein', for example 'Das ist in.' (That's in / trendy.)
