Interpretation
What this quote means
Trends may change over time, but true style remains timeless.

While fashion represents the fleeting trends that come and go, style is a more enduring quality that reflects an individual's personal taste and identity. This suggests that investing in one's unique style is more valuable than merely following the latest fashions.
