Yes. It's hard to tell the difference, but fashionable is the more positive term. Trendy is a bit of an insult where I come from.

I think fashionable assumes that you know what is trendy. Trendy tends to imply a more short term outlook on fashion while fahsionable looks at what is both historically acceptable and what is "now".

Isn't 'fahionable' when you sort of follow the latest fashion, but 'trendy' is when you start one? I get so confused when I miss E News....

Fashionable is more long term. Trendy is right now, usually for a short time only and often involves things that are not long lasting for a reason, meaning they are often too extreme or particular. Fashionable can last for years, even decades and will make comebacks with a twist or update.

Trendy doesn't stick around because it's the extreme of being fashionable. Fashionable is your look with a nod to the current trends. EX: Animal prints are hot and you get a nice Dooney giraffe patterned bag. Trendy is the extreme version that brings in the fashion. EX: Animal prints are hot so you wear head to toe dalmation print (haha).
