@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.ExpireDate, new { style

Actually, the internal behavior is translating the anonymous object to a dictionary. So what I do in these scenarios is go for a dictionary:

@{
  var htmlAttributes = new Dictionary
  {
    { "class" , "form-control"},
    { "placeholder", "Why?" }        
  };
  if (Model.IsDisabled)
  {
    htmlAttributes.Add("disabled", "disabled");
  }
}
@Html.EditorFor(m => m.Description, new { htmlAttributes = htmlAttributes })

Or, as Stephen commented here:

@Html.EditorFor(m => m.Description,
    Model.IsDisabled ? (object)new { disabled = "disabled" } : (object)new { })
