Reading about fashion can be done by using newspapers, magazines, research reports, blogs, social media, books, etc.  Rather than cover every category of resource, this year we will focus primarily on blogs.  We will toss in a few other sources as well.

Are you look for the best fashion blogs of 2017?  Obviously blogs are not the only place to read about trendy clothing and style.  However, they are a great place to start if you are looking for a fresh perspective.  The beauty of it is that bloggers don't have to be part of large media companies.  Therefore, they are more free to express their true opinions about designers, fashion brands, and other bloggers.  Fortunately, numerous blogs are developed by fashion influencers that write simply for the enjoyment of writing.  They are not always held to standards by corporate bureaucracy or worrying about pleasing particular advertisers.  This provides bloggers with a special sort of freedom to write from the heart.

What are some of the ways to determine which fashion blogs are written by top notch style influencers.  Below are a few criteria that can be reviewed.

Here are a few of the trendy blogs that have caught our eye in 2017.
