Summary: Love This Magazine!!
Comment: In my humble opinion, this is the best magazine for style and fashion advice. Even the advertisements are hip and informative, in terms of fashion and style. Of all the style magazines out there today, this is far and away the best of the best.

Summary: So much better than Vogue it's ridiculous.
Comment: InStyle is my favorite fashion magazine out there. It is much more reader-friendly than Vogue - much cleaner layout, the font is much easier to read, and the writing is clear, witty, and less dry. I've been reading InStyle for about 3 years, and each issue never disappoints me.
The focus of the magazine is definitely fashion, but there are also makeup tips and celebrity news. The magazine targets a much broader audience than more haute couture magazines like Vogue. My favorite section is "The Look" which highlights celebrity fashion and also has a section at the end that profiles a specific designer or label. InStyle also features many tips and recommendations on beauty products. The best issue of the year is without a doubt in March or April when they do "Best Beauty Buys." After polling beauty experts and testing hundreds of products, they feature the best beauty products in ever imaginable category. I've discovered some of my favorite beauty products through these issues, and it's nice to be able to trust a source without wasting your money on testing out expensive products that don't work for you. It is the best source for getting the most reliable products out there, from hair care products to makeup. I have seen several women at Sephora, clutching torn out pages from InStyle's Best Beauty Buys and frantically searching for the right mascara.
If you want to read an article about what pearls to wear with afternoon tea, try to sludge through Vogue's crowded layout and dry writing. I understand that Vogue is an institution now, but InStyle offers a much better alternatives, and providing articles that you actually want to read and tips you actually use.

Summary: The best fashion mag out there!!!
Comment: I love InStyle. I can easily spend an entire afternoon with each and every issue of InStyle. It is packed with the latest fashion trends and classic, timeless fashion. It shows what is hot, how to put outfits together, who wears what, and it doesn't try to dabble in other areas. It sticks to fashion and I like that. That is why I subscribe to it and probably always will. The best out there. MUCH better than Elle and likely even better than Vogue. I love it!

Summary: Too Fashiony
Comment: For me, the focus of this mag is to tightly centered on fashion, and there's not much to sink my teeth in here.

Summary: brain fluff
Comment: I was told this magazine was good to look at for design ideas. It isn't really, and there isn't really that much to this magazine. It is just another tired old AOLTimeWarner publication, just like Time, People, or Teen People. I looked at the August and September issues and the only things in those two that impressed me were the features on Elton John's Out of Africa fundraiser and the article on Julian McMahon. The rest of it was ads, and not the classy type ads that make the advertising tolerable in Vogue magazine, but the same old ads you'll see anywhere else, and they are annoying. There were several nonsense fashion articles with the likes of Kelly Ripa (post excessive Photoshop airbrushing tools-one of my professors would call it "plastic person syndrome") Mark Consuelos, waay too much on Jennifer Garner and her baby, and other weird things, such as the trend of designer cupcakes. I wish I was kidding on the latter, but I am not, nor do I have $25 to spend on a glorified cupcake just because it is Jessica Alba's favorite. There was entirely too much dress/act/eat/shop/play this way because the stars do it that way in here. Despite the size of this magazine, there is very little to sink ones teeth into, just way too many photos of the same old same old, and tips for mimicking them. I am NOT interested in becoming a Teri Hatcher clone, nor am I interested in seeing Vanessa Carlton's pad. This magazine is for you if you like excessive ads, no diversity, a subscription that is actually not a year (it says that special issues count as regular issues in the magazine) and your life's ambition is to try a cupcake from a bakery in New York because some celebrity did. This magazine is mediocre at best, and the worst part is, it has the exact same fashion advice as Vogue. I went with Vogue because there is substance in their magazine, and the ads are classy and very chic. Leave this one behind-it looks to me like another brain fluff read from the folks at AOL Time Warner.
