Style refers to the distinctive manner or form of expression, behavior, or appearance. It is the exterior and attracts attention. Substance refers to the core essence, meaning or practical importance. It is the actual content that leaves a lasting impact. A message, person, or creation needs both style and substance to be truly impactful and satisfying. Style alone is superficial while substance alone lacks appeal. The ideal is a perfect blend and balance of both.
