Someone who relies on trends to seem "cool" or "quirky" instead of creating their own unique style. Trendhopping is extremely common when it comes to clothing, but really, it can occur around anything that's popular (music styles, singers/bands/other artists, tv shows, etc). Trendhoppers will manage to turn a style of clothing into a personality trait for as long as the trend lasts. Once it ends, they either move onto something else, or go back to basic jeans and a t-shirt.
Amanda used to wear collared sweaters and skirts all the time, but now she just wears skinny jeans and a boring shirt everyday. What a trendhopper!
