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 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.

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.

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.

In the same fashion, African-inspired blogs are growing by the day. On this type of blog, you can expect to learn more about up and coming designers focused on this style and also how to wear such styles in a contemporary, easy way. Bella Naija has been around for about a decade and is one of the most popular and quickest-growing resources for all things African when it comes to fashions and lifestyles, looking at Nollywood and also the red carpet style.

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.
