stylings

Distinctive aesthetic touches

Stylings refers to the distinctive design elements or aesthetic characteristics of something, especially vehicles, fashion, or creative work: The car's sleek stylings attracted younger buyers, Her musical stylings blend jazz with hip-hop.

The word emphasizes manner or approach rather than substance—how something looks or sounds rather than what it does.
