00:00 Fashion vs. Style Introduction
On our website, throughout the menswear sphere, the terms “fashion” and “style” are regularly employed. Obviously, we’re approaching these topics from our position as a classic menswear community. But, this post is not about degrading or insulting fashion. Instead, we were only interested in actually figuring out what distinguishes the two.
Not all of our statements are intended to be absolutes, and ultimately, they are our informed opinions. Our hope is to lay out assessments that are fair to everyone and will simulate some great discussion.
01:15 1. Fashion is Temporary While Style is Timeless
02:35 2. Fashion is Impersonal While Style is Personal
03:50 3. Fashion is Dated While Style is Versatile
05:11 4. Fashion is (Often) Outlandish While Style is (Usually) Subtle
06:38 5. Fashion Seeks Convenience While Style Seeks Quality
08:00 6. Fashion is Fast While Style is Learned
09:02 7. Fashion is Difficult to Attain While Style is Attainable
10:42 8. Fashion is Exclusionary Whyle Style is Inviting
Fashion is a way of dressing that is prominent and valued socially because of its innovativeness, novelty, and cultural relevance.
Style is the distinctive way of dressing that leverages the wearer’s personal style, all while exuding self-confidence and still being generally appealing to others. We can take this definition a step further by noting that: Classic style entails all aspects of style generally and is grounded in time-tested principles of aesthetics.
Ultimately, whether you consider yourself a devotee of fashion or style as a personal choice, we certainly see the value of both approaches to menswear, although we personally prefer a style-based approach.
13:10 Outfit Rundown
1:49 This guy is trying too hard. Collar too low for his long neck. Boutonniere is obnoxious unless you are a clown or the current President. Pocket square and bow tie are the only things that make sense.
My take:
Style and fashion are often used interchangeably, but they actually have different meanings.
Style refers to a person's individual way of dressing and expressing themselves through clothing, accessories, and personal grooming. It reflects a person's personality, preferences, and lifestyle. Style is more personal and enduring than fashion, and it is not necessarily tied to current trends.
Fashion, on the other hand, refers to the current popular styles and trends in clothing, accessories, and beauty products. It is more transient and often changes seasonally or even more frequently. Fashion is driven by designers, retailers, and media, and it is often influenced by cultural and social trends.
In summary, style is an individual expression of one's personality and preferences, while fashion is a collective expression of current trends and styles.

Always enjoy watching these videos. Super informative, and gives men an idea of what style is. My Mom said something like "Dressing like a gentleman never goes out of style." She was right! Thanks for what you do and please continue.
"Fashion is like signing a petition, Style is issuing a manifesto." …Quentin Crisp
"Fashion is merely a form of ugliness so absolutely unbearable that we have to alter it every six months!" Oscar Wilde
Nice work ????
This is the issue with women’s clothes. Finding classics is nearly impossible. It’s all garbage fast fashion.
Ironically, I only embraced classic men’s style in my 20s as a result of it becoming fashionable here in the UK as a direct reaction to Punk in the early Eighties. The best thing about style is being able to wear stuff you wore 10 or 20 years ago (provided it still fits). There may also be an age element to this. Teenagers desperately want to fit in (as countless teen movies show us), which is why you see groups of them all wearing exactly the same thing, like a uniform. It’s only when you hit 40 that you really start not to care what other people think.
Style is what I like. Fashion is what everyone else likes.
Some one once said " fashion is what's other…style is what you do with it".
Здравствуйте! Hi ! There is so much style in "Jeeves and Wooster" !!!!????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
The irony of fashion is that it is not fashioned. Style > fashion.
Great job guy's Would you consider a clip on mens walking stick/canes?
So many of your videos seem to miss both style and fashion. Many videos you look ridiculously dated, they look like you are trying too hard, contrived and at that point, it's neither fashionable, stylish or tasteful.
All solid points Kyle! I think, though, you only briefly touched on what I think is the funamental difference between fashion and style, and which I think deserved to be explored more – namely, that style aims to attract attention to the wearer, and fashion aims to attract attention to the clothing. In this way you might say that style comes to the service of the wearer, whereas the wearer comes to the service of fashion, by advertising those garments. I think this point deserved to be explored a bit more in the video. Peace!
Boys have fashion
Men have style
And gentlemen has swag
keep up the hard work
Style is learned. A great comment.
No matter how determined, fashion can't be carried past its life cycle — while, no matter how indifferent, style will never have a life cycle.
I like the internet meme that summarized the difference: "Fashion says "Me too!". Style says "Only me.""
