Fashion Blog Examples

A single blog post rarely shows what a blog is really like — a run of recent posts does. This page collects fashion blog examples: sample posts pulled in by feed from fashion blog sources, so a reader can see several blogs' newest writing side by side and decide which ones deserve a regular visit.

The first stop for Apparel Search's own writing is the Apparel Search fashion blog, which reports on clothing, designers, brands and industry news. The examples below explain how the feed samples work and where to read more, including the fashion blog summary, a compact overview of fashion blogging on this site.

How Feed Examples Work

Blogs publish their posts in a feed as well as on their own pages. An examples page subscribes to several feeds and displays the newest entries from each — headline, date and opening lines — with each entry linking back to the full post on its own blog. If the feeds are working properly, the page refreshes itself as the source blogs publish, so the examples are always recent rather than a fixed list someone chose years ago.

That freshness is the point. A blog that posted yesterday about this season's shoes tells you more about its usefulness than a famous post from five years ago. Readers scanning examples are really asking three questions: does this blog publish often, does it cover the subjects I care about, and is the writing worth my time? A feed answers all three at a glance.

The Sources Sampled Here

The examples on this page have traditionally been drawn from two kinds of sources. Community blogs collect many voices in one place — outfit posts and commentary from a whole style community rather than a single author. Single-author blogs such as the Fashion Blogger site show one writer's taste and beat, post after post. Sampling both kinds side by side is a fair picture of the fashion blog landscape: multi-voice communities for breadth, individual blogs for a point of view.

Readers who want the people behind the posts should continue to the guide to fashion bloggers — who they are, what they write, and how blogging became a real occupation inside the fashion industry. Bloggers themselves may want the opposite trip: from reading examples to publishing, through the how-to guides in the resources above.

From Examples to Your Own Reading List

A practical way to use an examples page is as a filter. Open the newest post from each source, read two or three, and note which blogs you would happily read again tomorrow. Those go on your reading list; the rest cost you nothing. Because feeds keep moving, it is worth returning occasionally — blogs improve, stall and change direction, and last year's favorite may not be this year's.
