styling
Shaping one's look
Styling is the act of arranging or designing something's appearance—hair, clothes, a car, a webpage.
A stylist does styling for a living, whether for fashion shoots or interior spaces.
In computing, styling refers to the visual formatting applied to content: The CSS handles all the styling.
Self-styling means giving oneself a title or designation, often unearned: a self-styled expert.
