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 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 so many other bloggers catering to various lifestyle groups and subcultures, however. For example, there are those that are specifically geared towards a particular culture or style. Ethnic fashion is an example of this and has been an ongoing trend for some time.

Guilty Bytes is an Indian lifestyle blog, focused on all things fashionable and trendy from that side of the world. Devina is the editor and she has won Elle India's Blogger of the Year Award in 2014. This is a very huge and impressive blog, and there are over 57,000 followers on its Facebook page. This blog does not only highlight clothing styles from the region; it also focuses on happenings in Bollywood and food and drink. There is also a separate section on the blog for bridal wear.

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.

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.
