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.
