The Influence Of Top Fashion And Lifestyle Blogs

By Joanna Walsh


The way we communicate and interact has been revolutionized by social media. Bloggers have been given a platform to achieve global influence. Personal style bloggers have become a real force over the past decade. The top fashion and lifestyle blogs are turning into successful businesses with some bloggers becoming celebrities who often feature in the media.

There are many reasons why people begin to follow a particular blogger. They often identify with the strong style sense of a particular blogger. Another reason is to lean more about trends and brands. Bloggers write reviews about products and followers trust their advice. It makes business sense for brands to work together with bloggers as they have a trusted, loyal audience. Some businesses use social tools to help them to identify the bloggers that would help them most to sell their products.

High end brands such as Louis Vuitton and Hugo Boss partner with them for marketing efforts. They use them as models in campaigns, ask them to do videos and even bring them on as design partners. The bloggers are often seen sitting in the front row at their shows.

Photographs often play a large part in a blog. These photographs need to be bright, clear, sharp and well composed to capture the most attention. Bloggers often have to become proficient photographers and use good equipment if they want to be really successful.

However, a blog consists of more than just some good photography. It has to offer good content and be written in such a way that followers relate. If it is too stiff and formal, containing little in the way of information, ideas and tips, people will easily find a more entertaining one to follow. Reviews of products are also found and these are often thorough and honest so they are trusted by followers.

Long before the age of computers, our ancestors would share stories with younger generations. As humans, we have a compulsion to tell stories and to share our weaknesses, triumphs and the lessons we have learned. Lifestyle bloggers do just this, blogging about a wide variety of topics.

Lifestyle bloggers write about a great variety of topics. Many of them are mothers and wives and they write about subjects that appeal to other women. Parenting, decorating, crafts, food and organizing are just some of these subjects. Many of them write in a personal way as though they are conversing casually with a friend. Their followers are given a peek into their lives.

A blog is often started without any intention other than as a hobby. However, once a following has been established, they become of interest to those who are marketing products. This is because their followers are a faithful, trusting audience who tend to listen to their advice. This means that what began as a hobby, becomes much more. As more and more people are beginning to blog, it will be interesting to see what consequences this has on society in the future.
