I know this has been posted a thousand Xs before, but the quality of magazines change, so I was wondering what fashion magazines are a must have in your book.
Currently I subscribe to:
Lucky, Shop Etc., and Seventeen. I like 17 because they feature tons of affordable fashion, plus in the Fall issues, they include lots of coupons/codes for back to school. I tried Teen Vogue, but I didn't really like it. I typically look through mags mainly for outfit ideas.
I'm tempted to subscribe to Vanity Fair, Elle and Marie Claire. Should I?
In additon to what you listed, I also get Glamour, Marie Clare, and In Style, and I'd recommend all 3 to you. Also, I've been starting to like Allure more.
I really like Elle and Bazaar for fashion, Allure for beauty, and InStyle for a little bit of everything. I don't subscribe, but I always pick up Teen Vogue for cute, affordable fashion.
The ones I enjoy the most- would consider subscriptions to:
Elle
Nylon
Jane
Teen Vogue
Lucky
I'll flip through Vogue, sometimes Allure or InStyle. Not really a fan of mags like marie claire, glamour, cosmo- the ones that are fashion + sex + saving the world. They have good info in them, but i'll find that info elsewhere.
I just recently sent off for the Redbook subscription, I'm looking forward to my 1st issue. I pick up Lucky at the grocery store, since I never got my issues before the newsstands; I've read Allure once or twice, I may subscribe to it as well. I pick up In Style about 4-5 times a year, it's pretty thick most of the time! LOL I let my Shop, Etc. subscription expire, not sure if that was the right thing to do. LOL

I get a fairly well edited collection - with each sort of covering a different topic:
1. Glamour - I am just used to it and they have a good mix of clothing and I like the editorial view point - not to mention that some of my favorite recipes have come from the "how to do anything better guide."
2. Lucky - for inspiration and creativity. I love the accessories and the fun, smaller designers they use.
3. Allure - beauty/health. I like the fact that it's undiluted by any "relationship stuff." Really useful.
4. Domino - for my nesting instinct...I get so much inspiration from the pictures and I love the tips.
5. Wine Spectator - because I like to drink and entertain...and I am a huge follower of wine trends :)
Lucky and Bazaar are my favorite for fashion.. Both, most of the time, inspire me. In Style is enertaining and pretty good for putting together outfits, and clothing ideas. My 3rd favorite is Elle- I like the clothing as well as the articles, it is probably my favorite for an all around good read. I sometimes get Marie Claire( my least favorite)- and Vogue( not really clothing I can identify with or afford.0
I've been subscribing to Lucky for years, while other magazines have come and gone.
I used to get Allure, but I didn't care about the articles or the beauty stuff so I stopped. I also had a free subscription (from my aunt) to Elle, but didn't care to re-new. At one point I subscribed to Glamour, but I didn't like it.
Currently I'm getting InStyle, Shop Etc., Harper's Bazaar, and Lucky. I'm not going to re-new InStyle or Shop Etc. I really like Harper's Bazaar (not that I'm going to purchase anything in there).
