Yes - within reason.  It is not good to be obsessive about coding style

sometimes be good reasons for wavering from a common style.

Good coding guidelines typically allow deviations, though some require
explicit justification.

Generally the project manager must weigh out the grade of admittance;
being too sloppy will lead to a jungle of individual "good reasons"
(that you don't want to foster).

There is no one style that has anything like a majority position,
especially not when you consider all the possible variations.

Yep.

And even
if there was, picking a style due to popularity is as sane as picking a
religion based on popularity.

Most religious associations seem to have not been chosen by free will.
