Etymology: "Voguishly" is simply "voguish" with the adverbial ending "-ly" attached. The adjective "voguish" comes from "vogue," so the chain of meaning runs from fashion itself to the way something behaves when it follows fashion. The noun "vogue" has an older sense that meant popularity or currency, as in a thing being in vogue, and "voguish" grew out of that idea of being currently in favour. Adding "-ly" turns the adjective into an adverb, so "voguishly" describes an action or manner: doing something in the way that the latest trends would dictate. Because the word is built transparently from two familiar parts, its meaning follows directly from them. The adverb expresses the manner of following the newest and most fashionable looks, while the adjective it comes from names the quality of being fashionable itself.
