Top Fashion And Lifestyle Blogs You Should Know About

By Florine Meadows


Being trendy is a huge part of daily life now, particularly with the rate at which information is being shared due to technology. Top fashion and lifestyle blogs share the latest trends from the runway and otherwise so that everyday people can have their slice of the glamour pie as well. In fact, blogging has now lead to the creation of separate trends outside of what is shown on the runway during regular fashion seasons.

Bloggers are just like journalists, if not more important nowadays. A blogger is the middle man between the average person and the industry and all its glamour. Bloggers are regular people that we can relate to, bridging the gap between what may seem difficult to obtain or pull off in the everyday world. Bloggers also help readers find exactly what they are looking for by providing their resources and insider knowledge.

There are so many different kinds of fashion blog, so everyone can find something to suit their taste. Some strictly follow what's happening on the runway from season to season and show readers how to translate it into everyday life. Readers can see firsthand what's going on in Paris, London, New York, Milan, Tokyo and Johannesburg.

There are countless bloggers that focus on more than just the runway when it comes to fashionable styles. They have made a point at focusing on specific areas or subcultures. One example is ethnic fashion, which has a huge following and has been a very popular trend for quite a few seasons now.

For a specific at Indian-inspired fashions and lifestyles, check Guilty Bytes. The blog's editor, Devina, won the Elle India Award for Blogger of the Year last year. This is a very impressive and comprehensive blog, with almost 60,000 on Facebook alone. On this blog, there are separate sections focused on food and drink, bridal wear and Bollywood.

Similarly, there are numerous bloggers who follow African trends and keep up with ethnic designers to bring their creativity to the world. Bella Naija is one of the fastest-growing online resources for fashion-related news in Africa and also covers Nollywood and the red carpet. This blog has been operational for almost a decade and shows no signs of slowing down.

Then there are blogs that are dedicated to specific eras, such as Vintage Vixen. Here, readers can see what sort of thrifty items the blogger has found. A lot of vintage style blogs will offer resources on where readers can source similar items, or the best places to shop for vintage, or the designers who best emulate certain styles with their work.

Last but not least is the blog dedicated to men. While these are outnumbered by those for women, they are certainly gaining more and more popularity as the lines of fashion and style get blurred between the sexes. High Snobiety and Hypeboat are just two examples of great places to find trends for men. A blog worth reading will always explore what's happening on the street in terms of style and not just what's on the runway, so that readers can be truly inspired to find their own personal style.
