The style.css should be included in all WordPress themes, what theme are you using or trying to use?
Generally themes come with a style.css file in the root folder; if it doesn’t exist there often times a theme creator will sometimes put it in a separate folder titled either includes, or css. That file is essentially what gives the theme the overall look and feel of the theme.
style.css read a little about it. Hope that help a little. 🙂
Is it a free theme, if so where can it be downloaded from?
Is it a child theme and the parent is missing?

I am using Modern Elegance from Themeforest, which is not a free theme. I don’t believe it is a child theme.
As you are using a commercial theme, you need to seek support from the theme’s vendors.

@sally@eventsatbrookhills.com, you usually won’t find help for premium themes in these forums, but as a start, try extracting the .zip you downloaded from ThemeForest. There are a lot of files inside that zip, including the actual theme .zip. In this case would be something like modern-elegance.zip, you should upload that via the WordPress admin, or extract it, and then upload via FTP.
WordPress looks for the style.css in the main theme directory, it is what defines a WordPress theme, the theme name, author, version, tags, etc…
If you’re still stuck, contact the theme author.
Hope that helps
Thanks. That solved it. I had not unzipped the folder inside the original zip file. Did that and found another Modern Elegance file, when I uploaded that everything is fine.
