It can be hard for fashionistas to stay up to date with the latest trends. New styles are emerging all the time, and they change with the seasons. How are we supposed to keep up with them? Staying in-the-know with the world of fashion is a real challenge, but with social media, it has become much easier to keep an eye out for up-and-coming trends. You no longer have to hit the mall, pick up a magazine, or attend a fashion exposition to get the information you need. Instead, you can become a style expert from the comfort of your own home. Here we’ve listed a number of apps, and we’ll also explain to you how you can use them to continue brushing up on your fashion knowledge.
Pinterest is full of brilliant ideas for cooking, home design, hairstyles, and of course, clothing and accessories! You can perform a simple search for “seasonal fashion trends,” or “outfit inspo,” and there you will find an endless stream of pictures and links to great fashion choices. Once you click on an image that you like, Pinterest will show you related photos better suited to fit your taste. If you use Pinterest, you can save your favorites to your own board. This allows you to come back to them at a later date, or create a vision board of fashion choices that suit your style.
Instagram is the perfect app to keep up with today’s most trendy influencers. If there is a celebrity whose style you adore, you can easily find them on Instagram and scroll through their page for fresh outfit ideas. Many influencers will even put a shopping tag in their pictures so their followers can copy their look in just a few clicks.
Fashion shows are the best place to see what trends designers are loving, but many people can’t actually attend these glamorous events. Instead, fashion-lovers can follow accounts like @vogue or @fashionweek to see what these brands are posting each day. They often share their most exciting looks and give fans a look at what goes on behind-the-scenes.
Go “window shopping”
With online shopping, you can browse through your favorite stores’ best pieces from the comfort of your own home. Simply go to your favorite stores’ websites and look at the latest clothing they have released. Fill your cart with the clothing and accessories that you like best. Remember, you’re under no obligation to buy. Try doing this at a few different stores; if you notice similar pieces come up on more than one website, it is safe to say that item is in style for the upcoming season. Also, take a look at the virtual sale rack to see what items have reduced prices. Sometimes, these items are considered “out of season,” but other times the store is simply overstocked. You might find a great piece at a lower price!
Browse magazines
Once upon a time, you would have to go to the store to pick up a copy of your favorite magazine. But nowadays, most of these companies have websites that are being updated with new articles and photos every day! Fashion magazines are a tried-and-true source of information for fashion and beauty lovers across the world.
Staying up to date with fashion trends is all about keeping your eyes peeled for styles that speak to you. With social media, we are constantly exposed to pictures and videos of fashion-forward people who we can use as inspiration for our own looks. If that’s not enough, the internet makes it super easy to seek out information and learn more about what’s hot — and what’s not — for the upcoming season.
