The 25 Best Street Fashion Blogs (2011)

May 15, 2011

There are literally hundreds of street fashion blogs around the world (maybe millions!) Being a street fashion photographer myself, I like to check out a lot of those blogs. Here are the 25 online street fashion portals Style Invasion is loving the most in 2011:


#25 Garbagelapsap.com
Yes, Malaysia has a street fashion blog! You probably didn’t know that, so just go check it out already.

#24 Street TONIC
Crisp images and a simple, yet pleasing design that will have you nodding your head and grunting in satisfaction as you marvel at what the people of Milan are wearing.

#23 Geeky Chic
You won’t find any stylish nerds here (okay, maybe a few) but Toronto’s Geeky Chic has got great pictures AND great writing.

#22 Urban Weeds
Straight out of Portland, Oregon, Urban Weeds bills itself as a street style blog, but it’s more a collection of wonderful people portraits.

#21 TorontoVerve
The man behind the camera, Nigel Hamid, is relentless in his pursuit of “the undeniable style and energy that people in the Greater Toronto Area possess.” Even a full-time job in banking doesn’t stop him from posting regularly.

#20 Cracker Your Wardrobe
Not a blog per se, but this Korea-based site (with a name that makes no sense, but sounds pretty darn cool) has new street fashion pictures that magically appear every month, and they’re pretty sweet.

#19 HiStyley
HiStyley rhymes with Guy Smiley. Mere coincidence? I dunno, but the appeal of this Los Angeles offering lies in its great design and bang-on photography.

#18 Street Peeper
Phil Oh is a mainstay on the world street fashion scene. He trots the globe, peeping the streets wherever he goes. Oh Phil, we love you so.

#17 Stylesightings
Dapper gents and sublime ladies have been spotted (and now photographed!) roaming the style capitals of planet Earth.

#16 Drop Tokyo
Tokyo-a-go-go, baby! Many of the pictures here are taken at parties, shows, and various other venues where cool people gather to look pretty for the camera.

#15 Streetstyle By Stela
A South America-based blog (also with global coverage) helmed by photographer Stela Alves. Beautiful women in floral patterns and open-toe shoes abound.

#14 Street Style Aesthetic
A showcase for the photography of Wayne Tippets – a UK-based shooter who mostly hangs out in London and Paris. Features a mix of models, editors, and bloggers, as well as everyday people that look like they could be models, editors, and bloggers.

#13 Vanessa Jackman
Some like it haute. Do you? If yes, you’ll love this blog by Vanessa Jackman, an “Australian lawyer turned photographer living in London.” Snaps from Paris, London, New York, and other fashion hot spots.

#12 PimPumPam
Want to know what brands people are wearing? Check. Want to know what they had for breakfast? Check. Interesting little Q&A’s accompany street style photographs of everyday people in Vienna, Austria (and elsewhere).

#11 Slickwalk
You don’t see a lot of head-to-toe street style pictures taken in a landscape (horizontal) orientation, but Russia’s Slickwalk pulls it off beautifully. Check it out, comrades!

#10 The Style Kaleidoscope
Bursting with colourful images from the streets of Birmingham, UK, since October of 2010, this charming site will hit you with a wave of nostalgic longing for the days when photographs really were square and blotchy.

#9 Style-Arena.jp
Covers Tokyo street fashion, with 30 new looks that come at you every week (literally, as people are snapped as they walk towards the camera). Five distinct areas of the city are featured, which are Harajuku, Shibuya, Omotesando, Daikanyama, and Ginza. For those who love Japanese style with a slightly more “mature” bend to it.

#8 Easy Fashion In Paris
Is everyone in Paris stunningly beautiful? Beats me, but this blog will make you think so.

#7 Le 21eme Arrondissement
Adam Sinding’s New York-headquartered blog (formerly Seattle) gets points for originality. The style snaps are often accompanied by short video clips in which the subjects introduce themselves and list what they’re wearing.

#6 Citizen Couture
Jason Jean is a New York-based former tax professional turned freelance photographer. He started Citizen Couture in 2009 and his photographs of the fashion elite are simply spectacular.

#5 XSSAT
Top notch pictures from the streets (and runways) of Australia. Add to that mini-interviews and a blogger with an engaging writing style and this Sydney-based site’s got a winning recipe.

#4 Mr. Newton
Mr. Newton is a New York resident (and citizen of the world) with a built-in radar for gorgeous women with jaw-dropping style.

#3 JAPANESE STREETS
JAPANESE STREETS was established by photo-journalist Kjeld Duits back in 2002, making it one of the first fashion blogs on the net, and the first to cover Japanese street fashion. Captures what the youth of Tokyo and Osaka are wearing – in striking detail.

#2 Tokyo Fashion
As its name implies, this blog is all about Tokyo fashion, albeit most of the focus is on the hip, world-famous fashion mecca of Harajuku. Prepare yourself for an onslaught of colour and eccentricity put on display by the teens and 20-somethings of Japan’s capital city.

#1 Chicago Street Style
If you’ve never been to Chicago, following this blog will make you feel like you have. Take a trip through the streets of the Windy City, where you’ll meet regular folks of varying styles and backgrounds. At the reins is Amy Creyer, who’s been running the show since June of 2010. Deft fashion insights and a good dose of personality punctuate the excellent photography.

STRICTLY NO POSING !

4 Theo May 17, 2011 at 6:14 pm

Hey, Dorin, that is another great street fashion blog! I’ll definitely keep it in mind for next year’s list – thanks for sharing!

5 Theo May 17, 2011 at 6:26 pm

Hi Dan, thanks very much. Lovely blog, and fascinating bio page! :)

6 TorontoVerve May 22, 2011 at 3:29 pm

Thank you, Theo for putting TorontoVerve on your “25 Best Street Fashion Blogs” for 2011!!!

7 Theo May 22, 2011 at 7:39 pm

Hey TorontoVerve, thanks for stopping by!

8 Sebastian May 22, 2011 at 10:06 pm

I got 5 out of the 25, haha… I will have to check out the other 20. As far as photography, Adam Singdin’s Le 21eme Arrondissement is by and far my favorite. His pictures often have a gritty or essense that makes you feel like you are actually on the street with his street shot subjects.

I stopped following Easy Fashion, pretty much like you said, everyone looks like a model. I probably check Chicago Street Style the most though :) Thanks for the list…

9 Theo May 25, 2011 at 11:42 am

Thanks for checking it out, Sebastian! I may have to expand the list to 50 blogs next year, since it seems like I’m discovering a new street style site almost every day. :)

10 Alain June 4, 2011 at 4:58 pm

Those blogs are all about fashionable clothes.
Here’s mine so different niche: http://www.blogthatshoes.com/

P.S.
I’m sure you’re aware of Bryanboy and Sartorialist blog? ;)

11 Theo June 4, 2011 at 8:37 pm

Alain, your shoe blog is fantastic! …Sure I know those two blogs you mentioned – they just didn’t make the list. :)

12 Korean Fashion June 7, 2011 at 10:36 am

TQ for sharing… I’m from Malaysia. So surprise to know that there is Malaysia street fashion blog. Somemore it is in top 25..haha

13 Urban Weeds June 8, 2011 at 12:30 am

Hi Theo, thanks for including Urban Weeds on your list! I do feel it’s street style, I don’t think I’m just touting that. It’s really how people dress here. It is a bit different then the other street style blogs though. I just shoot street style I find inspiring or I feel represent Portland. It’s a pretty small town. Thanks for the compliment on the portraits!

Cheers!
Lisa

14 Theo June 8, 2011 at 6:25 am

Hi Lisa, great to hear from you! I really love your blog – keep it up. :)

36 Korean style February 15, 2012 at 9:51 am

Beauty blogs are my daily reads but now I have started to become interested with fashion blogs too. I mostly based my outfit on magazines and blogs also add spice to my everyday ideas. Thanks for summing up everything now, appreciate this post.
