Style composes aspects with manners, appearances with surfaces.
A local style collates the aspects of things lying around in a vicinity with the manners of a people going about their business there. It coordinates the surfaces that are manifest with the appearances that are maintained.
A personal style does its own thing as someone or other sees fit.
