What is style?

[hennree]

Hi...

So i've been reading through the forums today, checking out the WAYWT thread and a few others and noticed that my idea of what looks good is very different from most people on here, which is fine. Its all your own personal tastes.

I've seen pictures of guys wearing parachute pants tucked into space boots and people have complimented the fit. To me, it looks ridiculous and childish. I look at some of these pictures and wonder if the person in the outfit walks around thinking 'I look awesome. If people don't feel the same, they don't understand fashion'.

...Which leads us to this thread! What is fashion for you? Do you follow trends? Do you do your own thing? I know people that will wear some pretty weird things that clearly shouldn't and don't go together, but is that fashion? Is it about being different? or is it understanding how to look good for others? Surely if you wear something that looks ridiculous to others, it doesn't make it stylish?

Just interested that's all...
