Styles are the appearance or look of the Weapons and Armor you are wearing in Elder Scrolls Online. Every Weapon and Armor has a Style and that defines how it will appear. It is purely cosmetic. Gear drops in all different Styles and you can craft Weapons and Armor in various styles.
In order for you to craft a Weapon or Armor in a certain Style you must find or purchase the matching Motif for that Style and read it and have one of the stones needed to make a piece of that type. Motifs are scattered in various containers through out Tamriel and it is more difficult to find some Motifs than others. There are currently far more Styles than Motifs, so it is not possible to craft all the Styles in the game. Below is a list of all the Styles with a couple of pieces of each so you can see what they look like (some Styles only have a couple pieces currently).
Please see Outfit System to understand how to make yourself look in a certain style without crafting it. Some styles are only available for the outfit station and not craftable.
How to find ESO Motifs & Gems
Motifs and style gems are randomly found in containers (such as pots, nightstands, etc) throughout the world and by completing Daily and Weekly quests within the game. Below is a list of every obtainable Motif, along with those currently unavailable. Zenimax tends to tease a Style and then add it as craftable with a future update, so many of the uncraftable Styles are expected to become available at a later date.
Style Gems can also be obtained when deconstructing an item of the respective style. Or you may purchase the ten initial racial styles from vendors at crafting stations. You may also obtain gems via the hirelings of Blacksmithing, Clothing and Woodworking crafts, as well as from Daily and Weekly quests.
ESO Companion Customization
In order to customize your companion, talk to them and you can select the style from a menu.
You can chose to show a companion's current equipment or an outfit. If a player wants to have a costume that they own worn by a companion, they have to choose the Collectibles icon on the top right. Here a player can also set the mount that a companion is supposed to ride.
In order to have their own customized Outfit displayed, the player needs to go to an Outfit Station that is not in a player's house because that Companion needs to be active at the time of customization.
In the Outfit Station menu, the player can choose between themselves and Companion. From here it works the same as with a player Outfit. You can also choose colors for both the Outfit or a Costume at this station.
The head armor will be hidden at all times and will not be displayed regardless of equipment or cosmetic override settings.
Depending on gender, race or other restrictions, some of the player's cosmetics might also not be usable by the companion.
Players can't use polymorphs, personalities, skins, hats, hair or tattoos on companions.

So just because I can change the appearance of my armour and weapons, doesn't necessarily mean I can craft in that style? Is that right?
