It's very difficult to give good, straightforward advice on how to develop one's style.
So, I am giving some sideways advice.
First off, your style is going to be built up of words. Therefore, getting to know words is your basic tool box. Vocabulary building exercises may help, but you understand a word best if you meet in its native habitat, in the wild. Read widely. Get to know many words. You can't use "amble" or "trudge" instead of "walk" unless you know "amble" and "trudge." Good words can lead to the possibility of boiling down long phrases into a single word.
