Some Thoughts About Style
Style is a powerful tool. It conveys our identity to the world and allows us to express ourselves in ways that words can't capture. Every day, we make choices about what we wear, how we present ourselves and even our attitude - all based on an internal sense of style. Today I'm here to share some thoughts about style and why it's important for us all to consider when making decisions about who we are and how we want the world to see us.
Style isn't just about fashion; it's also a reflection of our values and beliefs. We can use style as a way to stand out from the crowd or blend in with certain groups, but either way, it speaks volumes about who we are. By understanding more deeply what drives our own personal desire for expression through style, we can begin crafting more meaningful looks that reflect our true selves.
It's time to step back and take stock of what trends are popular at the moment and which styles truly speak to us on a deeper level. With this knowledge comes newfound confidence in expressing yourself authentically – something that always resonates with others around you no matter their tastes or preferences. So let’s dive into some thoughts about style so that you can confidently embrace your unique look!
Fashion Fades, Only Style Remains The Same - Coco Chanel
Fashion is ever-changing, but style is timeless. Fashion trends come and go, but a person's individual style choices remain the same throughout their life. As Coco Chanel famously said: “Fashion fades, only style remains the same”. This sentiment holds true when considering one's wardrobe and personal aesthetic. While fashion may be fleeting, careful decisions of styling oneself with classic pieces can create an ensemble that will stand the test of time in terms of both beauty and practicality. Fashions fade, yet style endures eternally – these timeless elements define who we are as individuals.
Fashions Fade, Style Is Eternal - Yves Saint Laurent
True words from Yves Saint Laurent! It is a fact that fashion trends come and go, yet style remains eternal. According to industry experts, nearly 80% of clothing items purchased are never worn more than once. This statistic alone emphasises the concept that although fashions fade, timelessness in personal style endures.
The history of fashion has evolved over time as cultural influences affect what people wear; however, classic styles often emerge from the past with modern interpretations that become permanent fixtures in contemporary wardrobes. These garments have stood the test of time because they represent an individual's unique sense of taste and creativity influenced by their own life experiences.
Style isn’t just about what you wear but how you live - your attitude towards life, art and culture all form part of your own personal expression. It can be immensely rewarding when combined with knowledge of fashion trends throughout history so one can curate pieces which reflect both the present and future while staying true to yourself. With this approach, we may find ourselves at ease knowing our wardrobe choices will stand up against passing fads or ever-changing climates without compromising our signature look.
Style Isn’t Just About What You Wear; It's About How You Live - Lilly Pulitzer
Style isn't just about what you wear; it's how you live your life. It is a lifestyle that expresses who you are and allows you to make
choices that represent yourself. It encourages individuality by allowing people to be themselves through the clothes they choose and express their personality in everything they do. Living life with style helps one stand out from the crowd while still being true to oneself.
Your style should reflect your inner values; if something feels off or doesn’t fit into your idea of self-expression, don’t compromise on that feeling - go with what makes you feel comfortable. Style can also be used as an opportunity for growth: try new things, experiment and explore different avenues until you find something that works best for you. In this way, fashion gives us the chance to push boundaries and challenge ourselves without fear of judgement.
Styles, like everything else, change – but style doesn’t have to remain static, either. As we grow older, our tastes may evolve and mature; embrace this process and use it as a tool for personal development!

Styles, Like Everything Else, Change. Style Doesn't - Linda Ellerbee
Styles, like everything else, change. Style doesn't stand still; it is an eternal parade of the new and the next. Styles come and go - they possess us for a moment before disappearing into obscurity again. It's our attitude that endures, not any particular trend or look. Fashion can be bought, but style one must possess. We show who we are through what we wear, expressing ourselves in ways no words could ever capture. The fact that styles keep changing should never stop anyone from engaging with fashion on their own terms – embracing all its infinite possibilities.
Fashion Can Be Bought. Style One Must Possess - Edna Woolman Chase
Fashion can be purchased off the rack or given away in a sample sale. It's an intangible attribute derived from within. be bought. Style, however, is something one must possess--an eternal quality that cannot be bought.
The essence of style lies in its ability to transcend trends and outlast fleeting fads:
- To make the ordinary extraordinary;
- To project confidence without arrogance;
- To bring life to what would otherwise seem dull and lifeless.
Style isn't about having the most expensive wardrobe or being dressed up as if you're attending a red carpet-event every day. Rather, it is when they’re running you out of town, and you make it look like you’re leading the parade.

Style Is When They're Running You Out Of Town, And You Make It Look Like You're Leading The Parade - William Battie
Style is when you turn a potentially embarrassing situation into something that reflects your own unique sense of panache. When they're running you out of town, and you make it look like you're leading the parade, that's style-leading at its finest. You take what could be seen as an unfortunate event and make it seem intentional – owning the parade in the process.
Instead of fleeing town with your tail between your legs, put on a show; transform yourself from someone who’s being forced to leave into one who's intentionally choosing to go their separate way. Make it look like you’re calling the shots by staging a scene that looks good for everyone involved - even if no one else knows what was really going on underneath. That's true finesse!

Final Thoughts
Style is a state of mind, not just something that you wear. It’s all about attitude and confidence - the way you carry yourself through life with grace and poise. And it's not just about what you put on in the morning; it's how you live your life each day. Trends or fleeting fads don't dictate style; rather, it's an inner quality that can never be taken away from us.
I believe that true style goes beyond mere fashion; it’s making every moment count and stand out, regardless of the current trend. Life should be lived boldly and vibrantly – when they're running you out of town, make sure to strut like you're leading the parade! Exaggerate your movements, inject some theatricality into everything and don't forget to bring along your own unique flair wherever possible.
Style is an important part of our lives. It speaks to who we are, what values we hold, and how we present ourselves to the world. We can use style as a form of self-expression, allowing us to show our true selves without saying anything. Style isn’t something that can be bought; it must be possessed; one has to live it in order for others to see it.
When choosing jewellery, always remember the power of style over fashion – timeless pieces will become even more beautiful with time, while those on-trend items may soon fade away. Jewellery should reflect your personal sense of style and character – from bold statement necklaces that demand attention or delicate earrings that add subtle elegance.
Ultimately, when thinking about style, remember this: “Fashion fades, but only style remains the same.” As William Battie once said: “Style is when they’re running you out of town, and you make it look like you’re leading the parade!” So embrace your unique sense of style and express yourself through jewellery - after all, it's not just about what you wear, it's how you live.
To repeat from the beginning of this article, “Fashion fades, but style is eternal” - so let's embrace our personal styles no matter what anyone else might think. True style will always be timeless and cherished for years to come!
