Changing the Googly Gazer's style.
Let's do this Texas style.
The Engineer

Styles are alternate versions of action items, cosmetic items and weapons. Introduced in the Hatless Update on April 14, 2011, styles enable the player to alter the visual form of an item at any time. Styles applied to items do not affect the painted status or tradability of the item.

The style of an item can be changed in a class's loadout screen. When an item with a defined styles is equipped, a '+' button shows in its top-left/top-right corner. Clicking this button and then Select Style lets the player change the style. A window appears listing the styles available in a drop-down menu, allowing the player to select one.

Current styles range from being alterations to the painting scheme on an item to a separate model of the item entirely. Promotional items that were released in tiers, such as the cosmetics of the Steam Treasure Hunt or the Ghastlierest Gibus, have styles that mimic the appearance of the lower-tiered counterparts.

There are currently 316 items that have styles.
