<\/p><\/div>"} 1 Ask your friends to take part. A trend won’t catch on until people decide that it’s a cool thing to do or wear. People have to see others taking part before they become comfortable enough to participate, so this is where your friends come in. Ask them from the beginning if they’d be willing to wear the style. If they say yes, show them what they need to do, and tell them to wear or use it every once in a while to increase visibility of the trend and help it “catch on”.

<\/p><\/div>"} 2 Don’t all use/wear the trend at the same time. If you all use the trend too much, too soon, it may lead to an overload and make it seem as if you’re all trying to hard. In the worst case, it you may all become separated from the rest of your school or workplace if the trend doesn’t take off: you’ll be those people who tried to start a “weird” trend.

<\/p><\/div>"} 3 Answer questions from others. People are going to ask you lots of questions about the trend, especially if it is a little wild. This is a good way to spread your trend and make it more popular. If it's a fashion trend, people may ask you why you are wearing what you’re wearing. In this case, tell them that you thought it was interesting, or thought it was something a little different. Don’t tell them that you’re out to “set a trend”: this will come off as fake and the trend will be less likely to spread.

Be ready to ask questions about where you bought clothes or accessories. If people like the idea, you’ll want to share how to buy or make what you’re wearing. Be friendly and help them out as much as possible.

If your trend is a social media post, people online may ask you what it means. Tell them about your trend if they ask.

For slang trends, there may be a lot of people who are confused about what you mean. If they ask you what the word means, tell them, but also be sure to use it in contexts that are easily understood.
