Some Top Fashion And Lifestyle Blogs To 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 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 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.

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.

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.
