I believe the answer is:

cute

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'quaint' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'fashion latest in vogue' is the wordplay.
'fashion' becomes 'cut' (cut is a kind of fashion).
'latest in' indicates one should take the final letters.
The final letter of 'vogue' is 'e'.
'cut'+'e'='CUTE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cute that I've seen before include "Sweet, attractive" , "Lovable" , "Daintily pleasing" , "Attractive and quaint (4" , "Small, delightful" .)
