Style is a manner of doing or presenting things, especially a fashionable one.

There are many types of fashion styles in the world. Here some of it:

1. Avant Garde

The avant-garde (from French, "advance guard" or "vanguard", literally "fore-guard") are people or works that are experimental or innovative, particularly with respect to art, culture, and politics. 

Its also a group that creates or promotes innovative ideas or techniques in a given field especially in the arts.

2. Boho-chic

Reaching the height of its popularity in 2005, the boho chic style is a retro hippie style that first flourished in the 1960s and evolved over the ensuing decades.

The style is characterized by billowy skirts, embroidered tunics, and hobo bags, among other things. 

While admittedly this style continues to evolve, it has seemed to remain essentially the same. The style is also one that allows a woman to show her feminine side through the clothes she wears.

3. Classic

Classic describes your style perfectly. You prefer timeless looks, beautiful, but simple, cuts in clothing, fine natural fabrics, and leather shoes and handbags.

Classic style is a design that has stood the test of time because it is flattering on almost everyone and is never out of style.

4. Haute Couture 

Haute couture French pronunciation: French for "high sewing" or "high dressmaking" or "high fashion") refers to the creation of exclusive custom-fitted clothing. 

Haute couture is high end fashion that is constructed by hand from start to finish, made from high quality, expensive, often unusual fabric and sewn with extreme attention to detail and finished by the most experienced and capable sewers, often using time-consuming, hand-executed techniques.

Couture translates literally from French as "dressmaking", but may also refer to fashion, sewing, or needlework  and is also used as a common abbreviation of haute couture and refers to the same thing in spirit. Haute translates literally to "high". A haute couture garment is often made for a client, tailored specifically for the wearer’s measurements and body stance. Considering the amount of time, money, and skill that is allotted to each completed piece, haute couture garments are also described as having no price tag - in other words, budget is not relevant.

5. Elegance

Elegance is a quality of style and grace.

It comes from the Latin elegantia, "taste, propriety, or refinement." Fashion designer and eternal fashion icon Coco Chanel famously said, "Elegance is refusal," meaning it's best to skip the big jewelry and flashy clothes in favor of simple styles made from luxurious fabrics that one could wear forever and look great every time.

Elegance also describes the beautiful simplicity of a solution.

6. Feminine

Feminine, normally refers to qualities positively associated with women.

Femininity (also called feminity, girlishness, womanliness or womanhood) is a set of attributes, behaviors, and roles generally associated with girls and women.

In Western cultures, the ideal of feminine appearance has traditionally included long, flowing hair, clear skin, a narrow waist, and little or no body hair or facial hair. In other cultures, however, expectations are different.

7. Festival

Clothes based on an occasion for feasting or celebration, especially a day or time of religious significance that recurs at regular intervals.

Also an often regularly recurring program of cultural performances, exhibitions, or competitions.

8. Glam

Glam is defined as the elegant, exciting or attractive quality that makes someone or something seem special or desirable.

Also seemingly mysterious and elusive fascination or allure, bewitching charm.

9. Goth

Gothic fashion is a clothing style marked by conspicuously dark, mysterious, antiquated and homogenous features. 

It is worn by members of the Goth subculture. A dark, sometimes morbid fashion and style of dress, typical gothic fashion includes a pale complexion with colored black hair, black lips and black clothes. 

Both male and female goths wear dark eyeliner and dark fingernail polish. Styles are often borrowed from the punk fashion, Victorians and Elizabethans. Goth fashion is sometimes confused with heavy metal fashion and emo fashion.

10. Nautical

If it can go to sea, it’s nautical. That is, if it has to do with a boat, ship, sailor, or one of those maps of the ocean that nautical people call a chart, it can be considered nautical.

When one thinks of the nautical look, vertical blue and white stripes are typically the first thing to come to mind. 

For the full effect, opt for a fitted tank, tee, or sweater that features the ever-popular pattern, and pair it with favorite pair of navy slacks, dark denim jeans, a navy skirt, or even khaki bottoms. 

Pair outfit with flats, heels, or even boat shoes, to create a perfectly fun and casual look.
