Put on new coat with narrow back, keeping trendy (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

repaint

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

'put on new coat' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'narrow back keeping trendy' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'trendy' could be 'in' ('in' can mean fashionable) and 'in' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'repat' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
