Bugged me for a while. Turns out matplotlib is quite nitpicky about exact locations and file extensions. We assume the style file is called 'mystyle.mplstyle'.
import matplotlib as mpl
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
Find the configdir of your matplotlib:
mpl.get_configdir()
Usually it's ~/.config/matplotlib. Put the style file in a subfolder named stylelib.
plt.style.use('mystyle') should work now.
How to create your own style?
The syntax is the same as in a matplotlibrc file, so find one (e.g. via mpl.matplotlib_fname()), copy and paste.
