Steps to Style: Step 1: Gain the knowledge I'm throwing at you.

STYLE. What is that?

Style: noun, a particular, distinctive, or characteristic mode of action or manner of acting: They do these things in a grand style.(I like this definition from dictionary.com) 

NOT to get confused with a trend. 

What is a trend? 

Trend: noun, a direction of all aspects of pop culture at a certain time(In this case it's fashion.)

 

To gain your own style, you need to gain the knowledge.(Dramatic pause) The knowledge of knowing the difference between a style and a trend.  

I'll make this as simple as I can.

• A trend can be followed for days, weeks, months, or years.
• "Fashions(aka trends) fade, but style is eternal." -Yves Saint-Laurent
• Trends also go away, but they can come back.
• You can gain an individual style, you can get caught on a trend.
• There is such thing as trendy style: Someone who wears a lot of trends.
