Fashion vs. Style: Key Differences Between Fashion and Style
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.
