Style Edit Meaning

1.

Noun: The basic defining characteristics of a person, everything from talk, dress, hairstyle, demeanor, etc. A majority of the time it is the person's appearance in general and can be categorized (grunge, hippie, preppy, hoochie, nerdy, etc). A few people have their own style which usually makes them unique while most go with whatever is the "in" thing at the time in all the above categories. Can also be used as a compliment (see example #2a and b).

#1a: "Toni's style is an odd one -- she keeps her hair groomed like a diva, wears alot of makeup, rocks Chuck Taylor All Stars, and buys her shirts at the Bass Pro Shop.....what's up with that??"

#1b: "Although some may think that Alicia Keys is boring, I must admit that her style is different from most entertainers her age".

#2a: "My boy James got style -- did you see how he quiety hollered at ol' gurl and got the digits with little to no effort"?
