Styles are alternate versions of hats, miscellaneous 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 by selecting the item in the backpack and then clicking 'Set Style'. If the item has defined styles, a window will appear 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 hats of the Steam Treasure Hunt, or the Ghastlierest Gibus, have styles that mimic the appearance of the lower-tiered counterparts.
There are currently 29 items that have styles.
