Morphology
The phrase combines 'sense' (an ability or flair) with 'style' (manner or fashion) in a straightforward possessive/genitive composition, so its meaning of having an aptitude or distinctive way of dressing/expressing oneself is directly inferable. This is a conventional, compositional noun phrase found across many languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
The phrase sense of style may come from comparing the word sense, meaning a natural ability like taste, with style, the way you dress or show yourself. So, it now means 'a natural, attractive way of dressing or expressing yourself'.
