Some Top Fashion And Lifestyle Blogs To Know About

By Florine Meadows


In today's world, keeping up with the latest trends is important. This is especially the case with how fast-paced things are moving thanks to technology and the Internet. All of the latest trends can be found on top fashion and lifestyle blogs, where readers can find out what's happening from the runway to the street and even try new things for themselves. Fashion is no longer about the seasons on the runway.

Bloggers are now as important as journalists because they serve as the middle man between the industry and the people. They themselves are often regular people who are easy to relate to and who can bridge the gap between what may seem to be unattainable in fashion and style and bring it to their readers. They are also a great resource for discovering street style and developing personal style.

There are different types of blogs of this kind, which is what makes them so appealing. Some of them cater to the fashion seasons and follow the runways around the globe. These, of course, include runway capitals New York, London, Paris, Milan and Tokyo, but also rising stars like Johannesburg.

Other blogs are all about highlighting certain lifestyles or subcultures. Some are very specific in this regard. One example of a specific style is ethnic fashion, which has been increasingly popular over the last few years.

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.

Blogs don't have to be cultural; they may be period-specific instead. There are several that are dedicated to specific subcultures or eras in fashion, such as Vintage Vixen. Readers can find out more about the best places to find unique items from back in the day, or how to source such items by designers emulating such styles.

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.
