Fashion is a way to show self-expression through clothing, shoes, makeup, hair, and accessories. Figuring out your own personal style can be challenging because the way you think you want to dress and the way you actually dress can be complete opposites. Transitioning through styles is something that is learned as time progresses. Media outlets definitely influence style because there’s a little something for everyone. With these five fashion bloggers, your style dilemmas may be put to rest. Here are the top five Black fashion bloggers to follow:
