Question Fashion Magazine Suggestions

What fashion magazines do you like to look at? I am wanting to learn a little more about current styles and fashion. Any suggestions? TIA

Glamour and Vogue are probably your best bet as far as fashion are concerned.

When I was really hardcore I use to pick up Women's Wear Daily, but I'm over that now... I'll still check it out online from time to time, but I'm not going to waste money for an ongoing subscription so it's sort of limited. If I see something I like or a designer I've never heard of I just google it and take it from there...

I've finally gotten over my magazine addiction, so now instead of buying 5 or 6 at a time... I'll just spend some time at Barnes & Noble and look at a bunch of different ones, especially French and Italian fashion mags to see what's going on...

Thank you for the suggestions. I'm hoping to become a little more comfortable with shopping and knowing what's in style and what looks good on me.

I will check those out, too. Thank you.

I might as well go to Barnes and Noble, get me a nice cup of coffee and kick back for a while.

Does Vogue have wearable stuff in it or is it all high fashion "couture" type stuff? I have thought about getting a few cheap magazine subscriptions through amazon.

You could always just to go website like Nordstrom, Macy's, etc and see what's new. Also, if you have pinterest people pin new stuff all the time. My friends pin clothes but it's all stuff I cannot wear because we have totally different body types.

I haven't looked at any of the magazines, yet. I plan to go to the bookstore tonight. I am also looking for a magazine with wearable stuff. I like the idea of looking at the department store websites to browse around. But, I am more likely to look at a book though.

Funsize: Vogue is not the most wearable, mostly real haute-couture, high-fashion type stuff than ready to wear.

I also second the idea of looking at department store and ladies' clothing store (e.g. Banana Republic, Talbots, Ann Taylor, J-Crew or whomever else you like) websites.

I don't usually look at magazines, I stick to Pinterest. But if I had to suggest, something I'd say Glamour.

I definitely like the department store website idea... I do that all the time... I get daily email alerts from all my favorite stores and sites and if I see anything I like I just click on it and check it out... Also it gives me a heads up on any sales that might be going on too...

I just had a moment. I have my hair cut/colored once a month. They always have those magazines at the beauty salon. I normally sit there and relax and/or talk with the beautician. I got busy tonight and didn't go to the bookstore tonight. I will look at the magazines next week at my hair appointment. I can't believe I didn't think about that before. DOH!

Hair salons are a great place for fashion mags!

OP, I know this probably doesn't apply to you, but for the Canadians out there, LouLou is a fantastic fashion mag for actual wearable clothing and trends.
