Fashion Blog Search
Finding fashion blogs to follow — and what happened to dedicated blog search.
The internet has a tremendous number of fashion blogs — it can feel as if a new one is created every thirty seconds. That is an exaggeration, but only just, and it makes finding the right blogs a real problem: with so many in existence it is hard to keep track of them all. This page is about fashion blog search — the tool this page used to offer, why it stopped working, and the routes that still find fashion blogs reliably.
Start with the honest part: the blog search previously used here is not currently working, because Google retired the service that powered it. Apparel Search wrote about that retirement in the post on the Apparel Search blog — the fashion blog itself, at blog.apparelsearch.com, remains very much alive and is itself a good first result for anyone searching this topic.
Finding Blogs Without a Dedicated Search
General search engines index blogs along with everything else, so a specific query — a designer, a city, a niche like vintage denim — works well in an ordinary search box, including the Apparel Search site search on this page. What a retired blog-search service did better was search only blogs, which filtered out stores and news sites. Directories recover most of that advantage by hand: every entry in the Fashion Blogs Directory (in the resources above) is a blog, chosen by an editor rather than an index.
The second route is blog-to-blog. Fashion blogs link generously to the blogs their authors read, and those blogrolls and recommendations are a curated search engine of their own. The Apparel Search blog family below is a worked example: five subject blogs from one publisher, each a starting point into its own corner of the fashion web.
The Apparel Search Blog Family
Fashion Salad
A mix of everything fashion — models, textiles, magazines, designers and fashion week, in one low-calorie blog where fashionistas can post their own topics as well as comment.
Blog About Fashion
The Apparel Search team's general fashion blog on Blogspot — clothing and style commentary from the directory's editors.
Fashionista News
Fashion news in blog form: industry stories and style news as they break, from the Fashion Newspaper blog.
Runway Fashion
Runway and fashion-show coverage in blog form — collections, shows and the designers behind them.
Fashion Blogger
The Fashion Blogger website (FashionBlogger.org) — a long-running fashion blog whose posts also appear in the feed examples on this site.
Style Blog
A style blog in the wider sense — clothing plus the beauty, grooming and lifestyle topics that style blogs cover beyond fashion alone.
Search Smarter
Whether you use a search engine or a directory, the people are half the value: learn about fashion bloggers and you will recognize the names that recur across lists — the bloggers everyone else reads. Keep a short list of proven blogs, refresh it as blogs come and go, and treat every best-of list, including the ones in the resources above, as a starting point rather than a verdict.
Common Questions
Why is the fashion blog search not currently working?
The search this page offered was built on a blog search service from Google, and Google retired that service, so the dedicated search box can no longer run. The Apparel Search post linked below announced the retirement; general web search and the directory on this site are the working alternatives.
What is the best way to find a fashion blog on a specific topic?
Start from a curated list rather than a raw search: the Fashion Blogs Directory groups blogs by their focus, and the best-blogs lists collect the proven ones. From a blog you like, follow the blogs it links to — fashion bloggers are diligent about recommending each other.
How many fashion blogs are there?
More than anyone can count, and new ones appear constantly — that is exactly why search and directories matter. The practical question is not how many exist but which handful match your interests, which a directory answers faster than an open search.
