In Style is the second solo album released by (then-)former lead singer of the New York Dolls, David Johansen. It was released in 1979 on Blue Sky Records.
After Johansen released his first solo album David Johansen, he received favorable reviews but low album sales. Consequently, In Style offers more pop-style songs, such as "Melody" and "Swaheto Woman". It was designed as a more commercial record than Johansen's debut.
"Swaheto Woman" was released as a single and provided Johansen's first disco song. "Swaheto Woman", and three other tracks on the album, were co-written by Johansen's friend and fellow New York Doll, Sylvain Sylvain. In Style also features performances by Ian Hunter and Dan Hartman.
