kuosissa

Kuosissa is a Finnish expression derived from kuosi, meaning pattern or design, with the inessive ending -ssa, literally “in the pattern.” In contemporary usage it functions as a way to say that something is in fashion or in style. The sense centers on being aligned with current trends or having a coordinated, contemporary appearance.

The term is common in discussions of fashion, interior design, and visual culture. It is used in media, advertisements, and everyday talk to indicate that clothing, decor, or a overall look matches prevailing aesthetics. Kuosissa can describe a coordinated outfit, a collection, or a design theme that reflects what is considered trendy at the moment. It often carries a positive connotation, suggesting freshness and relevance.

Kuosissa may also appear in a broader, figurative sense. In some contexts, olla kuosissa means to be in good condition, in proper order, or functioning well. The expression thus can describe people, projects, or arrangements that feel well put together or on track.

Relation to other terms: muodissa is a close synonym in many contexts, also meaning “in fashion.” Kuosissa tends to emphasize pattern, design, or visual coherence, while muodissa stresses current popularity. Overall, kuosissa is a versatile, informal to semi-formal way to comment on style, presentation, or condition in Finnish.
