While fashion refers to the designs and trends that are given to the public from fashion designers, style focuses more on how someone puts certain pieces together. Recently, there has been a steadily growing interest in style as opposed to fashion, with inspiration coming right off of the people on the streets that we walk on.
In college, personal style is something that everyone has, even if they are unaware of it. It's in the pieces we choose, how we decide to wear them, and even in what we don't decide to wear. Our personal style is a part of how we are identified by friends and strangers alike.
In this article from Psychology Today the author discusses how style is more about "character" and "attitude", and talks about how it can help define an individual.
Another article here found in the New York Times discusses how important both fashion and style has become on college campuses, mentioning how students have moved on from the "graphic tees and sweatpants" that were once associated with college students in the past.
In the following links I have provided a video and a slideshow giving a taste of the styles of students from my school, Winthrop University.
