Fashion or Style?


These slacks offered by Tommy Hilfiger spark the debate between fashion and style. These are certainly fashionable and on the right person could be part of a signature style.

I view fashion as being of the moment. It can be fleeting and therefore something that is chased. Style is more perennial, and each individual should develop their own personal style.

Personally, I think these awning-striped slacks are very cool, but I could not find a way to work them into my personal style. Perhaps, if I were at least 30 years younger... Unfortunately, if I wore these I would look less like a young Mick Jagger and more like Beetlejuice.
