Style vs fashion: what's the difference?

 Is there a difference between fashion and style? Despite the fact that the terms are often used interchangeably, there are a few crucial differences.

Before we jump into a topic we need to understand the terms "style" and "fashion".

What is style?

A person's style is the way he or she expresses themselves, whether through clothing, writing, or architecture. A style is usually shorthand for "personal style," or how an individual expresses themselves through aesthetic choices like clothing, accessories, hairstyles, and the way they mix and match outfits.

What Is Fashion?

Fashion is anything that is new or in style, or what a person thinks is attractive to them. May also mean new styles or types. It can also be an artistic expression of the times it was made and worn. Designers create clothing and accessories based on the latest fashion trends so people can wear them. The price of clothing is usually determined by the popularity of each piece at a given time. The word “fashion” comes from the Latin word “Fas” meaning “good”.

Despite the overlap between style and fashion, a good rule of thumb is that style relates to the individual, whereas fashion is more communal. These differences can be broken down as follows:

1. It is something that belongs to the individual, something that is an expression of that individual's character. The individual can be either a fashion designer or someone outside the industry. They express themselves through how they dress and how they express themselves. While fashion focuses on global trends and the fashion business, global trends are the subject of global trends. It is difficult to distinguish between fashion and style. Models are part of the fashion world when they walk the catwalk. At home, they dress according to their own style. Their style may become fashionable when they become an influencer and their personal style becomes iconic.

2. In contrast to fashion, style is timeless. The latest trends in fashion are closely followed by someone who wears designer clothing. Fashion trends are not always followed by people who are stylish, but they always adhere to their own aesthetics. In order to develop a sense of personal style, you need to build your own sense of self, rather than merely absorbing trends.

Besides fashion shows, street style is captured by photographers. They style the clothes of the designers whose shows they are attending, effectively merging fashion and style as the models wear the clothes of the designers whose shows they attend.

As a result, fashion can be incorporated into your style, or not. Nothing is more important than wearing what makes you happy, and what makes you comfortable.

That's how it appears to me, anyway.
