'der Stil' and 'der Schreibstil' both describe a particular way of expressing something. 'Stil' is the general term and can apply to clothing, art, architecture, behavior, or texts. 'Schreibstil' is more specific and refers only to how someone writes, for example with simple sentences, many images, or a serious tone. Learners may confuse the words because 'Schreibstil' is a specific form of 'Stil'. When it is clearly about texts, 'Schreibstil' is more precise.
