When to use of or for?

Hi,

The sentence I want to use is: I want to get a feel of your writing style. Is this correct?

No. The idiomatic wording is

I want to get a feel for your writing style.

I did not quite get that. Now,
I want to get the look-and-feel of your design/style.

Is this incorrect too?

When you talk about a feel for something, you are talking about an intuitive understanding of it.

When you talk about the look of something, you are talking about its appearance.



In other words, 'look' and 'feel' are two

I want to get the look and feel of your design.

We can't use 'for' in place of 'of' here, can we (as in the original question)?

The original question didn't say 'the look and feel'. If you use 'the', you are right that it doesn't sound correct to say 'the look and feel for'.

That means that it is right to say,
I want to get the feel of your design.

Is it?

Yes
