Fashion blogs are blogs that cover the fashion industry, clothing, and personal style.

Definition

A fashion blog can cover many things such as clothing and accessories. Other topics include runway trends, fashion items, e.g. shoes, handbags, celebrity fashion and street style outfits worn by regular people. They cover fashion at all levels from the biggest names to the smallest indie designers and clothing worn by people on the street.

Many fashion blogs could also be categorised as shopping blogs as "most of the conversation is shopping advice, liberally laced with consumer recommendations", and some fashion retailers have now started blogs of their own to promote their products.

Blogs that occasionally mention fashion, such as many "personal diaries of teenagers", are not categorised as fashion blogs.

Impact on the fashion industry

Fashion is a multi-billion-dollar industry that has considerable impact on the way ordinary people clothe themselves. As fashion is trend-driven and fashion blogs provide a new way to follow these trends, it is likely they will have a considerable long-term influence on the industry.

These are some of the things fashion journalists have said about fashion blogs and the impact they are having on the industry:

  • "These days, to have one finger on the fashion pulse, you need to have the other one on your computer mouse, reading (or writing) the latest blogs."
  • "Before a designer’s runway show has even finished, you can bet your bottom dollar that someone in the audience – or better still, backstage – has recorded every silhouette, signature shoe, styling detail and sulking supermodel, then uploaded it onto the internet for style watchers across the globe to Enjoy."

is this a good name for a fashion blog?
Q. I want to start writing a fashion blog about a Japanese street fashion called lolita. You probably won't have heard of it, but anyway... I wanted to call it "how to walk in rocking horse shoes", as this is a joke about the popular fashion book "how to walk in high heels". Rocking horse shoes are a popular style of shoes within the lolita fashion, and are very hard to walk in. I was worried this name is too long though?

What would you like to see in a fashion blog?
Q. I've been thinking about starting one focusing on how to wear different items such as gladiator sandals etc... What layout out would you like to see and how would you like it to be written? Thanks you all really helped.

A. I would just love to see a fashion blog with tips on clothes, like; when or when NOT to wear a specific kind or color of clothing, what's the best for summer, swim, or picnic wear, stuff like that. A fashion blog must have articles on the latest trends, as well as those that the present calls for. For example, it should suggest what one could wear when going to a school or beach party, and the like. A fashion blog, I think, doesn't necessarily have to focus on women's clothing. It should also have tips for men.. (Who could please women more than a well-groomed, fashion-conscious man? ;)) Haha.. A fashion blog also does not focus on only one aspect of fashion. It does not deal only with clothes. It should also have articles on accessories, [cont.]
