Magazines for Women

We're seeing an amazing number of new women's magazines each year. Add them to the already existing ones, and the number is staggering. They can really add up, so how does someone make the choice of which ones to buy? Many of them are written for a certain type of woman, such as a certain age or profession. Before investing, check out any magazines you're interested in and make sure it's targeting you.

The teen magazine market has grown tremendously from as recently as seven years ago. Before then, Seventeen and YM were pretty much the only choices. Now you can find Teen People and Teen Vogues. Teen People focuses on celebrities and offers fashion advice. Teen Vogue is great for the fashion conscious young woman, looking for the latest fashion trend. Both of these publications also encourage attention from older teen readers.

If you're a young 20-something, then Cosmopolitan is definitely your cup of tea. It has long been heralded as the must-read for finding out about fashion, relationships and of course, gossip. Another super magazine for this age group is Jane magazine. Its focus is on the more outrageous celebrities as well as fashion advice. Their writers produce fresh and fascinating articles, often about unique new books and music. Mademoiselle is another tried-and-true magazine with excellent articles and fashion suggestions.

Glamour is a good read for the late 20-something woman. Its favorite topics include women's issues and articles for professional women. Their fashion advice is also up to the minute, but also practical. In Style is also popular with this demographic. It is hip and trendy, with a hint of the classical. You will find fashions from all the hottest designers of the moment. Vogue has always been the defining magazine for seasonal fashion. It features remarkable ensembles that are too expensive and outrageous for most of us, but it is so much fun to read up on the hippest designers and their newest lines.

We've barely touched the tip of the iceberg here. There are hundreds of women's magazines to check out. Some offer advice on various subjects, while others are just plain fun. In general it is much more costly to buy magazines at the newsstand. If you read a magazine every month, think about buying a subscription as you will probably save as much as 50% off the cover price. Magazine subscriptions make super gifts, especially for your friend who "has everything".
