Style

Stylish basically means a kind of way someone does something. For example, when we we talk about stylish in clothing and outfit, we mean that they are wearing clothes that is famous and fashionable of the year or of the month. This is because the fashion of the year or of the month is a trend, which is what style means. When we talk about style in writing however, everyone is different. There are no trend of writing and two people, when examined and analyzed closely, can never have the same style. Everyone who writes has a style in writing because they are all different and it is their own way of writing. I wouldn't say there is a difference between a "bad" style and a "good" style because in the fundamental level it is just a different way of writing. However, if we really have to choose if a writer has a bad style or a good style, the only way to judge is if the style he used in writing is pleasurable for the audience or the reader. This is because a good writing means it's good and pleasurable to read and a bad writing is a writing that gives people a bad, disgusted, bored, or any other unpleasant feelings when reading that causes the thought of giving up on the reading. This is how we define a good style and a bad style. It's like asking how a cook arranges the look and appearance of the dish he made for a fancy restaurant. We can only decide by the result, if we like it or not.
