Every great writer is also a great reader.

To improve your writing style…

Read several newspaper or magazine articles every day (word for word—no skimming!). In time, your own writing will gain a clear, concise, journalistic quality without any additional effort on your part.

Or, if you prefer to read books, choose non-fiction or fiction by respected writers. That way, you’ll learn from the best!
