Style is hard to define—but like pornography, as they say, you know it when you see it. Mostly, it comes from within—some inherent quality that shows in the way you carry yourself. For that reason, it's a stretch to say that any one thing you buy could make you more stylish. Realistically, it's on you to find and develop your style. Once you do, you can build on it with pieces of clothing, accessories, gadgets, home goods, and other items you find that best accentuate your personal take on style. This isn't a prescriptive list, it's more like a guide you can use along the way. These are The 50 Most Stylish Items Out Right Now.
