Style refers to a person’s particular way of expressing themselves-whether that’s through clothing, writing style, or a style of architecture. In the fashion world, “style” is shorthand for “personal style,” or the way an individual expresses themselves through aesthetic choices such as their clothing, accessories, hairstyle, and the way they put an outfit together.
What Is Fashion?
Fashion is the dominant style within a given culture at a certain time
- It refers to popular ways of dressing during a specific era
- The fashion industry deals with the prevailing styles of the present
- A major part of fashion is the way the latest trends are disseminated
What Is the Difference Between Style and Fashion?
Individual vs. collective
- Personal style is something that belongs to an individual-a means of self-expression. Fashion, on the other hand, has to do with global trends and the business of fashion.
- Style is timeless, while fashion is timely.
