"A fashion trend is gaining popularity, leading to more people wearing the style."

This is positive (self-reinforcing) feedback: the more people adopt the trend, the more attractive it becomes, which causes even more people to adopt it. The others are either one-way effects or stabilizing/negative feedbacks rather than self-amplifying loops.
