I love this. I grew up without much sense of styleβ€”or even β€œfashion,” for that matterβ€”and this article describes very well the journey I’ve been on the past year or so to intentionally develop and curate a personal style. Understanding the difference is so important to building a wardrobe that will last.

Thanks for the kind comment! As you mention, the key is embarking on that journey intentionally. While fashion is given, style must be contemplated, sought out and developed for oneself.

I appreciate the etymology section! I think I realized the distinction, I just never use it. I will be more intentional now. Thank you!

You’re very welcome. It can seem a pedantic exercise at times, but in this case precision of language really is precision of thought!
