The Art of Personality What is bold, witty, original, daring, explosive, impulsive, personal, and as individual as a set of fingerprints? That’s right: STYLE! You can’t buy Style. You can’t earn it, learn it, or forget it once you’ve seen it. Style is invented, not inherited. It is the art of personality. Style exists for its own happy sake. It may offend you or amuse you—Style doesn’t care. Style is adventurous, unlike Taste which is merely pleasant. Style is provocative, answering questions like: “Isn’t this fun?” “Don’t I have Nerve?” “Who’d have thought of this?” Style expresses individuality, “Look at it this way.” Style demands. Style is rebellious but never undisciplined. It takes careful aim to achieve an effect. Too much or too little and you have tacky or dowdy instead of Style. Style requires risk and its possibility of failure. Style explores and is unpredictable. Style is always creating new ideas. Taste is the censor. Style starts with a notion, say “punk.” Fashion picks it up, waters it down and passes it by Taste, which mutters a doubtful, “Maybe without glitter and the crooked stripes.” By the time punk has become “punk-inspired” Style has become bored. Most of us believe style is created by the clothes we wear and how we wear them. Clothing is important but accessories distinguish your look more effectively. They are the real style-shapers, helping to create a total effect. They add up to give you the unique look you desire. Style is something worth wanting and having—if you know what you’re doing you will succeed at finding your own. Finally, in all matters regarding Style, choosing a particular style depends on the type of person.
