You want free links to people who think they should get paid actual money for talking about clothes, without any form of professional qualifications, but don't want hipsters? Umm, GQ, and pay for the content?

I follow Fashionbeans and MR Porter.


Fashionbeans has a good range styles. mentions When it comes to price ranges (i.e. lets say sunglasses or jeans) it will give you a range right down from £10 to £200, which i think is great. it goes after what looks good, not what's expensive all the time.

Mr porter goes for more of an easy/gentlemenly classic/timeless/minimalist style. But all the stuff they mention are fking expensive (and all on their website), like £200+ for a tshirt, or £200 for a jumper and regular things such as £300+ watch reccomendations.

both won't have the hipster stuff in it.I. welcome anyone that can offer more places similar to fashionbeans. on a sidenote it's worth following any clothing stores/brands you do like on instagram (if you use it). I follow NEXT and every now and then they're showing their new stuff, collections and how to wear them. The other two I've mentioned i follow on FB, if I see an interesting article from them I open it up.

Mr Porter!! I was searching for Mr Roper - thanks. I think Fashionbeans is pretty much bang on for what I want, so I'll use that as a template to search similar.

I'm also looking for bloggers who aren't really so well established, so if anyone knows anyone, chuck a link up!

What kind of styling did you have in mind? Quite classic or pretty trendy?

Some good suggestions on this YouTube video in terms of blogs, other YouTube channels and Instagram.

I keep an eye on StyleForum on the 'What are You Wearing' threads and steal ideas from there also.

Check out YouTube - Real Men Real Style. He does go on about sponsors a fair bit but otherwise it seems quite sensible.

Youtube vloggers are a good shout but ideally they'd need to be UK based or non US due to a potential IP issue, but this is a good launch point. These additional suggestions are really helpful - thanks all.

while i do spend alot of time looking at YT vids I feel like clothing is one of those I'd rather not sit through a 10-20min video on. with a blog like fashion beans you only spend a couple of minutes reading it, the pictures paint a thousand words and they link directly to several examples of a product.

Try it and see what you think. I watch YT videos while sitting on a gym bike.
