Kwanzoo Lifestyles: Top Eight Fashion Blogs
We all want to look good. Of course, “looking good” means different things to different people - and for some, fashion takes a backseat to more practical concerns, such as not wanting to get up three hours early every morning to work on your hair and makeup and coordinate outfits. But the internet has made it much
easier for everyone, even lazy folks like me, to get a sense of what’s hot and what’s not. Whether you’re a clotheshorse or a tomboy, there is a fashion blog out there for you.
Street Peeper
If you’re sick of runway styles that don’t even remotely resemble anything a real human would wear, Street Peeper is here for you. They highlight practical “street styles,” featuring cool slouchy tee-shirts, cozy overcoats, and comfy sheath dresses. The designers range from Chanel to Lee, so to replicate a complete look on a budget, you’d probably need to be a little creative. However, when it comes to assembling outfits, Street Peeper is your go-to blog.
Shoe Blog
Shoes are an essential part of any ensemble. Whether you prefer $500 heels or $10 sneakers, the simply-titled Shoe Blog has something for you. They highlight new styles, hot sales, and the latest shoes that have left their marks on the red carpet. You’ll even find the occasional post on shoe-related general interest news - and this post, which is all about shoe books. Even if you’re not a shoe junkie, you’re likely to find yourself sucked in to all the gorgeous pictures.
Pretty Pear
Quite of a few of the hot styles rolling off the runway are geared towards what I call, fondly, the “toothpick” body type. If you’re more of the apple, pear, or donut variety, then this site is for you. You can learn the basics of what flatters your body type elsewhere, but how do you find shoes that cater to your needs (thick ankles? Fallen arches? Bigger calves?) or winter coats that actually wrap all the way around? The Pretty Pear will point you towards the best websites and sales to fill your closet.
Vintage Fashion Guild
One of the newest trends in fashion is - ironically enough - vintage clothing. Wearing genuine outfits from bygone eras is a great way to reduce waste and capture the essence of history in a way that simply can’t be done with cheap imitations. At the Vintage Fashion Guild, you can find sources for all sorts of amazing vintage clothing once your local thrift shop is all sold out. Just browsing the pictures is a fascinating journey
through the styles of the past few decades.
E-Stylist
For those who may not have that keen eye for ensembles - or for those who are always on the prowl for new ideas - E-Stylist is the perfect blog. It features many different outfits, made up of mostly-affordable components with links to purchase. You’ll also find recommendations for different beauty tools, fun giveaways, and other general fashion tips. If you’ve got a closet full of clothes and no idea how to put them together, E-Stylist can give you a starting point.
Go Fug Yourself
You might not be a fashion junkie, but you can still appreciate the really absurd, the unattractive, and - of course - the fugly. At Go Fug Yourself, you’ll find pictures of all the weirdest getups from the red carpet. Occasionally, some edgy outfits are put up for debate - are they fug or not? (This is why the internet is so
great!) Shoulderpads, feathers, and culottes…oh my!
Who What Wear
If you turn to celebrities for your style inspiration, then Who What Wear should be in your bookmarks. Taking celebrity outfits and breaking them down into their components for your shopping pleasure, Who What Wear is a fashion must. During this cold season, it can be hard to stay stylish while trying to keep your extremities warm. A recent feature, “What They Wear: Cold Weather Chic” should point you in the right direction. Even if you can’t afford the real thing, it should give you some inspiration before your next trip to Target.
The Cut
For general news in the fashion industry, you can’t beat New York Magazine’s blog. You’ll find everything from new lines being launched, to designers going out of business, to celebrities endorsing their new favorite shoes and fragrances. Nothing escapes them. If fashion is your passion, you’d be a fool not to visit this blog (refresh multiple times per day!)
Hopefully, these sites will help you discover your own personal sense of style. And if you’re a fashion blogger yourself, keep in mind that Kwanzoo has just launched their custom quiz function. You can create your own fashion-related quiz - standard trivia style, or personality type - and use our sleek little widget design to display it on your site. Just like this one:
