1) You can't learn an item style from an instance you've looted. You need to loot or buy the style page (or the complete book), and also to use that on one of your characters to learn it. Each character knows their own racial style, but can learn more. The racial styles drop as complete books, most others usually just as single slot pages.
2) Once learned, that character can make the item in that style, but none of your other characters gets that knowledge. However, any of the characters on the same account can use it at the outfit station, just for appearances.
3) The outfit station provides a single-slot "disguise" for each piece you're using, collected as an "outfit". That can include weapons, as well as wearables. The helmet alone can be disguised as invisible (at present - we all want more slots hideable). You can switch between the outfit(s) and your regular armour on the character tab. When you leave the outfit station the first time, you won't have set an outfit, so you'll just revert to the "real" appearance. Just go to the character tab and select the outfit instead. If you buy extra outfit slots for the character, you'll have more saved choices.
4) You can also use a costume and hat as an alternative appearance. The costumes don't come as separate slots, and can't be mixed with the outfits.
5) A polymorph is a total appearance change, such as appearing as a skeleton. No mixing with anything else,.
6) Some quests give you a disguise.
If you try and use more than one of these at the same time, there's a priority order that determines what actually shows.

Thanks, that helped a lot actually.
Though it is weird to me that when in Outfit station I saved changes to it and whenever I go there I see it, but as soon as I leave the station my char changes back to some other outfit I dont know where it is coming from. It is like there is a second layer above it that is overwritting is. What am I missing?

On the 'character' screen, make sure it is set to 'outfit 1' or 'outfit 2' or whatever.

Is your character wearing a costume or a disguise?
Costumes are on the collections tab, under appearence and have a tick mark next to them when you're using one.
Disguises are used as part of some quests and go into a special item slot below your characters actual equipment. You can click and drag it off to remove the disguise.
