Another song that isn’t quite what it first appears, “Style” is ostensibly about timeless fashions. “You got that James Dean daydream look in your eye,” Swift sings, “And I got that red lip classic thing you like.” But, slowly and subtly, it reveals itself to be something slightly more sinister: a song about a relationship that goes round and round but is never quite healthy. “When we come crashing down we come back every time,” continues the chorus, “We never go out of style.” The arrangement matches the noir-ish feel perfectly, with Nile Rodgers-y funky guitar and a chugging synth riff that would fit right in on the Drive soundtrack.
@amirbe I think you hit the nail on the head. Another similar meaning I read was that she sees the two of them as a James Dean/Marilyn Monroe couple and how they live and love to be in the old classic style.

Second half of the chorus seems to be based on the old saying of how "every good girl wants a bad boy to be good just for her". Second verse echoes that where the guy is clearly a bad boy cheating on her but they both can't stop thinking about each other. I dunno.
