Top Fashion Blogs
A small handful of fashion blogs worth checking out — plus the big best-of lists.
Nobody knows the exact number, but it certainly feels as if the internet has a zillion blogs, and most people in fashion seem to enjoy posting their thoughts about style and clothing. Faced with that flood, this page does the only sensible thing: it lists a small handful of sites worth checking out if you have time for a bit of reading, starting with the home team's entry — the Apparel Search fashion blog, also written as the Fashion Blog across this site.
These are favorites, not a census. The parent Fashion Blogs section and the directory in the resources above carry the wider field; this page is the short list, plus the professional best-of rankings for readers who want to compare notes.
The Apparel Search Blog Family
Fashion Salad
A mix of everything fashion — models, textiles, magazines, designers, fashion week and more — where fashionistas can post their own topics.
Blog About Fashion
The Apparel Search team's general Blogspot blog about fashion and style.
Fashionista News
Fashion news in blog form, from the Fashion Newspaper blog.
Runway Fashion
Runway and fashion-show coverage — the collections, covered as they happen.
Fashion Blogger
The Fashion Blogger website — one writer's long-running take on clothing, shoes and handbags, also sampled in this site's feed pages.
Style Blog
Style in the wider sense — fashion plus the beauty and lifestyle topics a style blog adds.
The Official Best-of Lists
Looking for an official best of fashion blogs list? The fashion media publish them regularly, and comparing several is more informative than trusting any one: Most Influential Fashion Blog from Apparel Search's own blog, 25 Best Fashion Blogs from The Fashion Spot, 50 Best Fashion Blogs from StyleCaster, Best Fashion Blogs Ever from Marie Claire, and Best Fashion Bloggers to Follow from PopSugar. Apparel Search's blog also ran the joke entry Ugly Fashion Bloggers — its own words: they are some of the best fashion bloggers, and very pretty.
The names that recur across independent lists are the real answer to the top-blogs question; the people behind them are explained in the fashion bloggers guide. And the obvious follow-up — who writes the very best one — gets its own page in More to Explore below, because the honest answer is more interesting than a name.
Choosing Your Own Top List
Your top list does not have to match anyone's rankings. A blog earns its place in your reading by matching your interests — your price range, your climate, your body, your taste — and by publishing reliably. Sample widely using the examples and directory pages in the resources above, keep the handful you return to, and let the list change as blogs and your own style evolve. That, in the end, is what every best-of list is: one reader's current handful, written down.
Common Questions
How many fashion blogs are on this list?
Deliberately few. The internet holds an enormous number of blogs and most people will never read more than a handful regularly, so this page lists a small selection worth checking out, and then points to the larger ranked lists — 25, 50 and all-time best collections — for readers who want the full field.
Who else publishes best-fashion-blog lists?
Major fashion media do it regularly: Marie Claire's best fashion blogs ever, PopSugar's best fashion bloggers to follow, StyleCaster's 50 best fashion blogs and The Fashion Spot's 25 best are all linked from this page, and each ranks the field by its own lights.
Is the Apparel Search blog on the list?
Yes — openly. It is this site's own style blog, so it would be strange to pretend otherwise; it leads the list below and readers can judge it against the others like any entry.
