As required by the fashion of the times. A hip requirement. When something achieves "the new black" status.

By simply poking my head into any of the nearby hipster bars, the frequency of pointy toed cow-girl boots firmly cements their status: de rigueur trendy footwear du jour.

See trendy, du jour, prerequisite, hip, hipster

2.
