How to Choose the Correct Fashion Magazine for You

Top 5 Fashion Magazines

Sarah  Lyall
Everyday in the United States, hundreds of fashion magazines are published. Fashion magazines can cover everything from high-end runway fashions to everyday fashions that can be purchased at stories like Target or Wal-Mart. Most fashion magazines also include articles about women's health and beauty tips. With so many choices, how is a girl to chose the best fashion magazine for her. I have compiled a list of the top five fashion magazines that are, in my opinion, the best magazines to choose from.

My fifth favorite fashion magazine is Vogue. Vogue is a fashion magazine that is solely dedicated to high-end fashions. While I find Vogue and interesting magazine to browse through, I do not feel like Vogue caters to my needs. I am an average girl with an average income, like most Americans. I can only dream about owning the fashions showcased in Vogue.

My forth favorite fashion magazine is Elle. Elle is a fashion magazine that got its start in France. The fashions in Elle are also mostly high-end, but Elle adds to their magazine articles on non-fashion related topics, such as health and beauty tips. I chose Elle over Vogue, because while I can only dream of owning most of the fashions in Elle, I can at least gain something from the other articles in the magazine.

My third favorite fashion magazine is Lucky magazine. I chose Lucky magazine as my third favorite choice because Lucky is a magazine about shopping and I love to shop. Is there anyone who does not like to shop? Lucky magazine always includes a page of stickers that can be used to mark the fashions or accessories that their reader wishes to purchase. Lucky magazine ranked third on my list because, while I like the shopping, I really like fashion magazines that have informative articles in them. This is a personal preference.

My second favorite fashion magazine is Cosmopolitan. I really like the way that Cosmopolitan mixes a broad range of articles, such as relationship and health advice, with their fashion content. I placed Cosmopolitan second on my list only because it is somewhat racy, and I could live without some of their "advice."

Finally, my favorite fashion magazine is Glamour. I love Glamour magazine. I have been a subscriber to Glamour for several years. Glamour magazine has a broad range of articles that include health, beauty, world news, and more. Also, Glamour magazine presents me with high-end fashions and their real world counterparts. Many times, I have taken a look I liked out of Glamour magazine and recreated it in real life.
