Some amazing looks at the Met Gala last night, but I can't help thinking that a lot of them just look like cute outfits, rather than meeting the theme of "costume art" www.vogue.co.uk/gallery/met-...

Comments
The prevailing fashion or style.
Miniskirts were the vogue in the '60s.
Vogue means: The prevailing fashion or style.. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than risky behaviour. If your teen uses it, context will usually make the intent clear. A short, curious question about where they heard it is usually all that is needed to know whether to follow up. For most families this word will pass by without incident; it is more a vocabulary curiosity than a parenting concern.
vogue means: The prevailing fashion or style.. Register: neutral, standard English. A common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; native speakers immediately notice when slang appears in formal contexts, so always check the surrounding register before producing it yourself. A formal-English equivalent (a synonym or descriptive phrase) is usually safer in writing. When in doubt, paraphrase rather than reuse the slang form.
Comments
(dance) A highly stylized modern dance that evolved out of the Harlem ballroom scene in the 1960s.
The rotation of nine years with two fallowings, which was formerly so much in vogue, is now seldom or never to be met with; it was, however, productive of very fine crops of corn on tenacious soils which require a great deal of tillage.
