What goes into “having style”

“That guy’s got style.” Well sure, but why? That’s not such an easy question to answer. Style is highly personal and situational. It’s not one look that’s seen in New York or Milan or Peoria. It’s fluid. Yet thanks to the internet, it’s often judged harshly with little context. Get to the core of what “having style” means and you won’t find brands or trends, but instead you’ll find a foundation that’s more mental than retail. So what are the components of having style? And what are the most important ingredients? The proposed formula below has just two factors making up most of the equation. Your analysis is welcome in the comments.
