When it comes to fashion, visuals are key. It’s no wonder, then, that many lovers of style turn to Instagram and fashion blogs to get their fill of all things fashion. Instagram is great when it comes to OOTDs—outfit of the day—and quick style inspirations, but blogs are where the serious fashionistas go to write about trends, advice, and the latest fashion innovations.
Not feeling particularly stylish today? Fashion blogs can give you inspiration for dressing well even on those lazy mornings. Got your eye on this season’s hottest trends? These blogs are great for helping you figure out which clothing pieces and colors suit your frame. They can also provide you with ideas about mixing and matching pieces to create a dozen perfect looks without breaking the bank.
The rise of fashionable Instagram influencers and stylists paved the way for the bloggers on our list to have a significant presence online. Many of these bloggers started out on social media, and their keen eye for style did not go unnoticed by their followers. While they have their own website, most of them continue to be active on Instagram and YouTube.
1. Atlantic Paciic
Atlantic-Pacific creator Blair Eadie has been in the fashion industry for several years now. Having worked for companies such as Tory Burch and Gap, she has the insider’s experience in how the industry has evolved over the years. She started Atlantic-Pacific in 2010 to showcase her own fashion aesthetic, which she describes as “east-coast-meets-west-coast.” She has built up a significant social media following, including over 1.9 million Instagram followers.
2. The Daileigh’s Ashleigh
Hutchinson wants her readers to build their perfect closet. She aims to help women of all ages find or create a style they love. In particular, Ashleigh wants older women to feel confident in their own style. She wants to break the assumption that some trends are suited only to a particular age group. Ashleigh’s philosophy centers around the notion that “age is only a number.”
3. Egg Canva
The whimsically named Egg Canvas is the brainchild of Erica Choi, a design director and photographer based in New York. Why the name “Egg Canvas”? Erica was inspired by her Korean childhood nickname, which means egg, while “canvas” is the medium with which art is created. “Egg Canvas,” therefore, is her life—creating beautiful things each day on a blank canvas.
4. The Fashion Guitar
The Fashion Guitar is the online blog of Dutch-born Charlotte Groeneveld-Van Haren. Now based in New York, she is a mother of two and runs her blog full-time. Charlotte had worked with fashion blogs in one of her former jobs until she decided to create one herself. As a personal style blog, The Fashion Guitar showcases Charlotte’s own fashion sense. When she became a mother, the posts naturally featured her maternity and motherhood style, and it became a significant part of the website. Charlotte has worked with her favorite brands and designers, and loves collaborating with them.
5. Girl With Curves
Let’s face it—the body type of models is far from reality. Slim people do exist in real life, but there are women with bigger sizes who can look just as good. People come in all shapes and sizes, but many of us have been conditioned to believe that only one body type is ideal for fashion. This is the mindset that Girl With Curves hopes to shatter. Tanesha Awasthi created Girl With Curves in 2011 to represent everyday people who aren’t a size 0 or 2. The blog describes itself as an “award-winning blog made possible by people who believe women deserve to look and feel beautiful, regardless of weight, shape or size.”
