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 the name given to those who write the blogs. They are today as important as reporters or journalists. This is because they are just like us, average human beings, but they give us an insight to the glamorous world of fashionable lifestyles, bridging the gap between what is and what could be. They are also very knowledgeable about how and where to find certain styles and how to emulate trends and develop your own personal style.

There are many different kinds of blog of this style, for every type of reader around the world. Some of these are all about what is happening on the runways. That means readers can follow seasonal trends straight from the fashionable capitals of the world: London, New York, Paris, Milan, Tokyo and also newcomers 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.

The amount of blogs dedicated to African style continues to grow. Many ethnic designers receive exposure to the masses this way. Bella Naija has been around for almost ten years and is still one of the fastest-growing online source for African fashion news. This blog also highlights what's happening on the red carpet and in the equally popular Nollywood.

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.

Finally, there are quite a few style blogs dedicated to the guys, such as Hypeboat and High Snobiety. This is the type of blog that cannot be ignored because men's style is becoming so diverse and popular. A really good blog will not only talk about what is on trend from the runway, but it will also explore the important of street style and translate what is happening at the ground level into a context that readers can not only digest, but be inspired by.
