Keep Up-to-date With the Latest Trends and Styles Online

May 28, 2008 Gill Hart

Keeping up-to-date with the latest trends, shopping online and social networking with other like-minded fashionistas has never been easier with the internet.

Not only is it possible to buy or swap almost anything nowadays from the comfort of your sofa, it is possible to make like-minded friends, exchange tips, and get the news and views from blogs and social networking sites. Keeping abreast of women's fashion trends and celebrity-style gossip have never been easier with sites like Fashionishing.com and Style.com. Also, take advantage of the new craze in ethical-shopping – swishing.

If you have more than a passing interest in fashion then here are a few of the best sites for you to bookmark:

Online Fashion Sites – General

Style.com has become a definitive voice in bringing the latest runway collections to a world audience at the touch of a mouse. The site is revered by fashion designers, who wait anxiously to see their runway reviews. For the shopper, Style features the latest runway images (and detailed breakdowns) of seasonal collections, plus a wealth of information on trends, products and fashion industry news.

Stylefinder.com is exactly that. You can search any trend or particular product or label, and a wealth of information is at your fingertips, whether it be the latest safari or painterly-pattern trend. One of the most useful is a large selection of ethical fashion and beauty products all in one site. So many fashion brands are doing a sideline in eco-friendly and sustainable fashion these days, its hard to find information, without having to wade through their mainline sites.

Fashionising.com is both a newsworthy site and a social network, covering up-to-the-minute trend information and providing a community for followers of fashion and those in the industry.

Fashionmash.com will appeal more to the young and trendy set who enjoy social networking and swapping ideas. It allows members to upload pictures of items from their wardrobe and discover new outfits arrangements, with the help and suggestions from online friends — adding new garments and experimenting with fresh looks. The modern-day equivalent of those cut-out dolls and outfits that baby boomers played with in their youth!

Whatsmineisyours.com. If you haven’t heard of Swishing yet, then you are behind the times. This is the new way to shop, either on line in your home. Swishing is the eco-friendly way of getting your new clothes – swapping with friends or recycling your outfits online. Swishing enables you to get rid of the items you no longer want and expand your wardrobe without spending money. The British based site, whatsmineisyours allows you to do just that. Both ethical and fun, this trend of swapping rather than shopping, is set to grow, as more and more women are holding in-house swishing parties or are swapping their outfits online.

Online Fashion Magazines

Elle.com is an excellent online version of the popular monthly glossy, which featured everything you could possible want to know about the latest fashions. From the latest collections to current trends, fashion features and shopping advice. There is also a Canadian version at Ellecanada.com.

Hilary.com is North America’s longest running dedicated online magazine and is geared at intelligent and confident women who want straight-forward solutions to modern urban living, and the scoop on what’s hip in fashion, beauty and everything luxe. This magazine has indepth fashion features and style bites. Subscription is free.

Fashionledge.com caters more for those in the fashion industry, would-be models and fashion savvy readers who want to keep abreast of the current market. It has a number of interesting fashion features and videos and includes information on careers in fashion, model training, and up-to-the-minute news on product launches and designers.

Handbags and Shoes
