FREE ESSAY ON STYLE

STYLE

I am choosing to write about paragraph two,
page 95 of the Hebidge article. I agree that taste
does distinguish those who make the distinctions. 
However, I feel that the whole concept of analyzing 
what makes a person stylish or not is foolish. I feel
that attempting to put a definitive issue on what is 
stylish is defeating the purpose of having style. 
Style does not define you, attitude does. Style is a 
reflection of an individual and if people are judging 
you and your personality solely on material things than
I feel that this is where America's shallow mentality 
derives. I am not saying that style is unnecessary 
because it is natural for an individual to want the 
best of everything, but that is not always possible. I have a motto that relates
perfectly to this topic. A lot of people have a champagne mentality, but only have a beer
pocketbook. This means that a person may desire in their heart to have the best of
everything, but not the means of attaining it. Also, the idea of forming distinctions of
who is and isn't stylish is at a loss because no matter what a person does there is no
way to achieve a unanimous consensus on style anyway. What is beautiful and stylish in
the eye of a conservative is hideous in the eye of the nonconformist. In conclusion the
issue of style is one that belongs in casual conversation, but cannot be classified
because the beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and each beholder has their own concept
of beauty.
