Style
Style is a song by British R&B/garage group Mis-Teeq.

The track marked the third and final single from the album, and was also one of the last singles released by the group following their split in 2005. Upon its release, "Style" debuted and peaked at number 13 on the UK Singles Chart, becoming the group's only single not to enter the top ten. It also reached number 18 in Finland, becoming the group's second and most successful single on the Finnish chart.

Style
A style of office, or honorific, is a legal, official, or recognized title. A style, by tradition or law, precedes a reference to a person who holds a post or political office, and is sometimes used to refer to the office itself. An honorific can also be awarded to an individual in a personal capacity. Such styles are particularly associated with monarchies, where they may be used by a wife of an office holder or of a prince of the blood, for the duration of their marriage. They are also almost universally used for presidents in republics and in many countries for members of legislative bodies, higher-ranking judges and senior constitutional office holders. Leading religious figures also have styles.
