Top Fashion And Lifestyle Blogs To Follow

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.

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.

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.

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.
