21+ Best WordPress Fashion Blog Themes for 2020

Presenting the best WordPress fashion blog themes available for 2020.  We took a look through all the top developers, and we narrowed it down to our top twenty.

Fashion blogging is one of the most lucrative blogging niches, and the income of fashion blogs keeps rising.   Top fashion bloggers are earning up to 80k a month on affiliate commissions – nearly 1M a year.

If you’re smarter than I am, and looking to become a professional, independent fashion blogger, instead of a lowly, impoverished WordPress blogger, you’re going to need a site that looks the part.  Not to mention, all the necessary features of a leading fashion and style themed blog.

So here’s some of the best WordPress fashion themes available to give you the strongest start.  Note that we didn’t include sites with e-commerce or shop capability.  If you can’t find what you’re looking for here, we’ve also compiled a second list of fashion & style magazine themes for WordPress, and another focused on lifestyle blog themes.

If you arrived here from Google looking for a theme to build an online store, check out our companion roundup of the Best WooCommerce-based WordPress e-Commerce Themes for Fashion & Clothing Stores.

Finally, if you’re starting from scratch, and aren’t sure you want to use WordPress, you may want to consider using a cloud based website creator.  Check out our comparison of WordPress, Wix, Weebly, and Duda.

Alright, let’s do this thing.

Allure

Our favorite fashion blog/magazine theme for WordPress, Allure, doesn’t only offer a near pitch-perfect design for the fashion niche–white space galore, elegant typography, and bold, high-contrast classiness–but it also bundles in a ton of useful features.

First and foremost, the six homepage layouts to choose from out of the box, each one distinct, can be matched up with three different header styles.  A variety of homepage sliders to choose gives you even more homepage flexibility, and the popular & powerful Visual Composer plugin (for drag & drop page building) opens up the door to limitless layout configurations.

Back-end options are extensive, with hundreds of fonts and icons to choose from.  Social sharing is well-integrated, multiple useful custom widgets are included (Instragram feed, etc.), and modern touches like video backgrounds and parallax backgrounds elevate the theme even further.

Allure is translation-ready with Contact Form 7 support.  Highly recommended.
