Who Reads InStyle?
The InStyle reader is a confident and fabulous woman who believes style is not about fad or fleeting fashion moments, but rather an ongoing expression of her fun and fresh personality. This expression transcends her closet and cosmetic bag; she seeks style inspiration and strives to personalize this style across all of her life, from updating the look of her home to the type of car she opts to drive. Over 9.6 million women in their 20's, 30's and 40's read InStyle each month.

What You Can Expect in Each Issue:
Each month, the issue starts with "What's Now," an energetic roundup of what's new and exciting in the world of style. Then it's on to "The Look," and its unique take on what celebrities are wearing. "Your Look" focuses on fashion trends, tips and how-tos that the reader can use in her own life. The "Beauty" section is filled with expert advice, product reviews and step-by-step guides to wearing the latest make-up looks, caring for skin, getting beautiful hair and more. Next up is "Shop It," which is dedicated to finding the best fashions and great values for readers. The magazine ends with the "Life, Etc." pages, which take readers inside the homes of celebrities and help them lead a more stylish life.

The features change from month to month, but readers can always expect a personal and inspiring story about the cover’s celebrity accompanied by gorgeous images of her in the season's most breathtaking clothing. Most months the magazine includes a beautiful fashion story shot on a celebrity by one of the best photographers in the world, and at least one smart, useful, idea-filled story to help readers solve problems, be more stylish, live better, and enjoy their time more.

Also included with your subscription is InStyle Makeover, a comprehensive guide to the very best new products and possibilities in beauty and fashion, created especially for the modern, sophisticated, and stylish young woman who's ready to have some fun with her look.

Great magazine
Hello, first off, I'm a dad and I got this magazine to add to other subscriptions for my daughter as she went from the tweens to the teens to help introduce her to styles and products in the marketplace.

Oddly enough, I have benefited a lot being able to recommend many of the products advertised therein to her (we used a Neutrogena face wash this week that actually worked!) and to have some idea what to purchase as gifts for other family members, etcetera.

As clothes and cosmetics become more and more expensive it helps to be able to make an informed decision the first time you buy and I enjoy giving many of the products as gifts for birthdays, Christmas, and surprises.

The magazine portrays some glitz but really appears to be excellent in its articles, advice, and the products it advertises (editor: cigarette ads are the exception).

Having run the gauntlet of women's and girls magazines and read all of them that my daughter subscribed to growing up for content and to discuss ideas with her, I recommend this for women and teens.

Be sure to order from Amazon, as I had major problems trying to give a gift subscription from InStyle's website as their site placed the order when I did NOT complete the order process and billed my friend instead of me and instead of being a surprise it was a month of wasted time back and forth with e-mails cancelling subscriptions and all the while they stated that I should notify so-and-so if I was displeased, but so-and-so NEVER got back to me, what a total mess!

My favorite magazine!
Not only is this magazine a fun read, but also informative. It gives great ideas on what to wear, what make-up or skin products are the best, the latest hot spots and fun places to go, and great ideas for gifts and parties. The interviews and articles are informative and fun, but my favorite section is when they let you in on a celebrity/prominent person's party or get together. They give you all the details as well as some recipes of items they serve so you could recreate it if you wanted to. I like it so much I actually bought the InStyle Party book! This is a great magazine!

What's in, what's not
Though not particularly interested in all the celebs that appear in In Style, I enjoy this magazine because it covers the fashion world pretty completely in every issue. It's a good resource for keeping up to date about such products as hair styling aids, shoes, perfume, makeup, etc. As in most fashion mags, some of the clothing featured is unwearable for ordinary women, but a good deal of what they show is stylish and practical. It also does a good job illustrating faux pas. I look forward to leafing through each new issue.
