1. What is style? Well, it’s a word with many meanings. It usually has something with the way you look. But is style the same as fashion?
2.Not exactly. If we say somebody is fashionable we mean they dress well and in the latest clothes. When we say someone ‘has style’ it is something more personal. A person can wear very old-fashioned clothes and still have style.
3.Someone once defined the difference like this: “People who follow fashion tell who they would like to be. People with style tell you who they are.”
4.The way we look tells other people a lot about us. This is true of everybody from the fashionable lady to the punk. A soldier’s uniform tells us about what he does. The elegant lady’s fur coat tells us that she is wealthy.
5.The punk tells us he (or she) is revolting against parents or society. Even people who put on the first thing they find when they get up in the morning may tell us they don’t care about fashion.
6.In ancient Rome, only free people used to wear long togas. In ancient Japan, only Samurai warriors used to shave the front of their hair.
So people’s appearance told the world exactly who they were and what they did.
