It seems that every year we become more influenced by the fashion industry in response to successful marketing tactics via social media and the ever-expanding approach to casual, business, and formal clothing attire. In the past few years, we’ve witnessed numerous celebrities, artists, and designers effectively reshape the narrative on elements such as “gender,” age, era, silhouette, and functionality, all of which impact consumers’ decision-making when piecing together an outfit before heading out the door.
As a result, there’s been a recent shift in everyday streetwear that seems to evoke a more hodgepodge type of aesthetic. Using graphic details such as bright colors, futuristic themes, and large-scale items, we start to recognize this chaotic ease that can be referenced to the late 90s/early 2000s. (Think Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century meets The Matrix, bound together by the chic essence of any Prada collection.) This eclectic wave is just one of many examples that showcase our desire to reinvent classic themes with respect to modern ideas and constant experimentation.
So many unique interpretations of clothing/style exist and are made readily available to our phone screens, television sets, computers, and billboards every single day. With New York, London, Milan, and Paris Fashion Weeks right around the corner, it’s going to be extremely difficult trying to keep fashion off the brain. With that said, please indulge, keep the creativity flowing, and stay up to date with the latest fashion trends using the recommended fashion news sites below.
In the words of Miranda Priestly, “That’s all.”
1. GQ
As one of the most popular style resources, GQ continues to reach millions of people throughout the world to supply fashion enthusiasts with high-quality and engaging content. Since 1957, it has “inspired men to look sharper and live smarter with its unparalleled coverage of style, culture, and beyond.”
Available digitally and in print, readers are likely to find helpful tips when it comes to elevating their wardrobe, grooming, and improving/maintaining health and wellness. If those topics aren’t of interest, you will also find the latest sports-related news, so there’s really something for everyone here.

2. Vogue
No need for an introduction, as you may very well know that any piece of writing focused on the topic of clothing, runways, and glamour is not complete without the mention of Vogue. If staying on top of your fashion game is a passion or even just a way to pass the time, then I’m sure you’ve spent time flipping through pages of the magazine in awe of the latest editorial spreads.
The convenience of having the latest articles, designer collections, celebrity interviews, and style guides in the palm of your hand is made possible with the Vogue website and social media pages.

3. Business of Fashion
When you think of fashion and its impact on society, it’s easy to overlook the marketing value of something as simple as the color of your favorite blue sweater. Miranda Priestly said it best when she stated, “That blue [sweater] represents millions of dollars and countless jobs,” in “The Devil Wears Prada” (watch the full monologue). This character monologue is a shining example of how much we dismiss the clothes on our backs as a prominent driving force in the world economy.
If you’re intrigued by financial insights and the latest advertising efforts of major fashion retailers, then Business of Fashion is just what you’re looking for. A great source for reliable coverage, it is “recognized around the world for its authoritative, analytical point of view on the $2.5 trillion global fashion and beauty industries.”
