How do we define personal style? A few clear trends do emerge. A majority of us are convinced that tattoos are here to stay. And across party lines, the Kennedys remain the epitome of First Couple glamour, though Democrats see a bit of Camelot e Obamas as well. Some differences reflect the spread. Those of us in the prime of our :ing years frown on dressing down for job views; some members of the senior set also tend to be concerned with looking good at holiday dinners—and funerals. (We're divided about choosing clothes for our own funerals—good thing so many of us plan to be cremated.) And if you thought young people are all about gadgets, think again: the largest group of them would choose a two-story library for their home over a jumbo screen. Their parents and grandparents, however, say they'd prefer a French country kitchen. All the better for those stylish holiday dinners for which they won't dress down.
