The Fashion Lover

Best for: Amy Odell’s Back Row bills itself as the newsletter that publishes what legacy media can’t, and it’s not short on straight talk about the fashion industry.

The Discerning Beauty Fanatic

Best for: In The Unpublishable , Jessica DeFino is like that smart, feminist aunt who rants about beauty standards and BS celebrity lines.

Confessional Journalism & Cultural Commentary

Best for: Written by Farrah Storr, the ex-editor of Elle and Cosmo in the UK, Things Worth Knowing reminds us of our favourite women’s magazines. It offers smart takes on subjects from diet culture to career fulfillment.

Brain Food

Best for: Anne Helen Peterson’s Culture Study promises to make you think, and it delivers. Expect elegant but accessible thoughts on burn out, capitalism, celebrity and everything in between.

Midlife Women

Best for: Eleanor Mills’ Queenager is changing how we think and feel about being of an age that in previous generations was considered frumpy or past it. It’s impossible to read and not feel empowered about ageing.

Style Queens

Best for: Leandra Medine Cohen’s The Cereal Aisle is more than just a newsletter about getting dressed. It’s got a lot more, with musings about motherhood, the fashion industry and even mysticism.

Deep Thinkers

Best for: In This is Precious , former journalist, author and founder of the I Quit Sugar movement, Sarah Wilson, delivers a candid and conversational read that traverses topics from the climate crisis to the philosophical issues with Instagram’s new algorithm.

Smart, Stylish Recommendations

Best for: Sophie McComas-Williams and Sophie Roberts are the likable hosts of the podcast Highly Enthused , and their Substack comes in the form of a list of recommendations on everything from recipes to new restaurants, books and music.
