Morphology

trendily = trendy (transparent) = trend + y + ly

Formed by adding the productive adverbial suffix '-ly' to 'trendy', so the meaning 'in a fashionable way' is directly predictable.

Etymology

Trendily comes from trendy, which comes from trend, a word for a 'popular direction' or 'fashion'. The ending -ly simply turns it into an adverb, so trendily means doing something 'in a fashionable way'.
