They are both individual flavours - something personal, choices you make because they're appealing to you, whether it's because they define you well, or you admired them on another person or in another's home, etc. It's pretty immediate, a visceral reaction - whether you love something or not - but it's created through a variety of factors: exposure, personality, personal aesthetic. Just my two cents! I agree that it's not wise to say "good" or "bad" - just different! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spinoff-question-taste-vs-style#post-497248 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 20:07:36 +0000 Lisalou 497248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I should clarify! I wasn't questioning good vs "bad" taste, as I agree, it's 100% subjective and personal. I was thinking more, if I'm happy with and confident in my taste (the clothes/pieces I love), how do I align my style with that? The more I think about it, the more I think it's about confidence </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spinoff-question-taste-vs-style#post-497243 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 20:03:02 +0000 RoseandJoan 497243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Was it Diana Vreeland who wryly said 'bad taste is better than no taste at all' </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spinoff-question-taste-vs-style#post-497240 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 19:58:20 +0000 Angie 497240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Especially in the creative worlds of art, marketing, decor, fashion, food and style, is "taste" so very, VERY subjective. Who is to say that your taste is good or bad? Only the person making the judgement. Judging taste is a slippery slope and one I am very careful to make either "good and bad" on YLF. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spinoff-question-taste-vs-style#post-497234 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 19:52:25 +0000 rae 497234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was thinking what Khris said! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spinoff-question-taste-vs-style#post-497229 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 19:48:10 +0000 chewyspaghetti 497229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think of taste as being the pieces you choose, and style being the way that you put them together. You can have great taste, but not very much style- and vice versa! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spinoff-question-taste-vs-style#post-497228 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 19:47:54 +0000 RoseandJoan 497228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think in terms of clothing good taste may be a limiting factor, I believe there is room for fun and irreverence too in our style choices. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spinoff-question-taste-vs-style#post-497226 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 19:44:37 +0000 Mo 497226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, taste and style are just too subjective to say who does or does not have it, and what constitutes 'good' (in my opinion). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spinoff-question-taste-vs-style#post-497223 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 19:39:19 +0000 Lisalou 497223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is inspired by Shannon's post on whether or not you can buy style, and all the wonderful, thoughtful responses.</p> <p>I'm thinking about taste vs style. I know I have great taste (if I do say so!), but in the style department I am lacking. What's the difference, and where does the disconnect come from? Is it confidence that makes someone stylish? How do you take good taste and turn it into good style? (and of course, on a budget is always nice!) </p>
