Chic Host: 5 Super-Smart Style Bloggers to Follow

These days, just about everyone with a computer, a wardrobe, and an opinion has a fashion blog. But if the Internet were a fashion show, here are the five bloggers we’d want next to us in the front row. Their perspective is as laser-sharp as it is fun.

The Sartorialist Pro photog Scott Schuman (right) runs this, the granddaddy of street-style blogs. A globetrotting chronicler of fashion, Schuman possesses a granular knowledge of men’s and women’s clothing—despite being a straight guy!

Fashion Toast While most personal style blogs are drowning in narcissism, the one by Rumi Neely (middle picture) seems to rise, like cream, to the top. She documents her inventive style—minidresses one day, long chunky sweaters the next—as she cavorts from party to party.

Fashion Schmashion She predicted Marc Jacobs’ meteoric rise, and has championed everyone from Isabel Toledo to Isaac Mizrahi: Paper magazine honcho Kim Hastreiter (left) runs this blog, a must-read for anyone wanting a glimpse of tomorrow’s fashion stars.

Heard on the Runway The conservative Wall Street Journal may not be the likeliest home for a spot-on fashion blog, but this collaborative effort focuses on the business side of the industry while still running plenty of fun street-style images. —Alexis Alagem
