No longer in style NYT Midi Crossword clue

Answer · 5 letters
PASSE
PASSE is the five-letter grid form of passé. The French-derived adjective directly means no longer fashionable. Because crossword entries normally omit accent marks, the final é is entered as E; the clue’s phrase “in style” points to fashion rather than to meanings of pass or passage.

Passé describes something that has fallen out of fashion or outlived its period of usefulness. That adjective fits “no longer in style” more precisely than verbs built from pass, which do not supply the required fashion meaning.
Normalize the accented letter for the grid
The standard spelling is PASSÉ, ending in an accented é. American crossword grids generally use unaccented A–Z letters, so the visible five-cell entry becomes PASSE. Restoring the accent in prose preserves the word’s normal spelling.
