Most commonly used adjectives and expressions in fashion magazines

... or which words shouldn't be written so often

Writing about fashion is not easy. It seems that there is a limited range of words to be used and finding new expressions is a challenge. As I read tons of magazines every month, and all of them almost at the same time (I buy 6 magazines and I read them in two days), sometimes I get the impression that the headtitles and the descriptions are always the same. There is a series of adjectives and expressions that are used over and over. Some of them need to be used, but there are others that hurt my eyes when I read them. Of course, there are many great journalists that write very beautifully.

I've made a list with some of the expressions I often find in the pages of the magazines.

Escribir sobre moda no es fácil. Parece que hay un rango limitado de palabras para usar, y encontrar nuevas expresiones resulta un desafío. Debido a que leo muchas revistas todos los meses, y todas las leo en un par de días, a veces tengo la impresión de que los titulares y las descripciones son siempre los mismos. Hay una serie de adjetivos y expresiones que se repiten una y otra vez a lo largo de las páginas. Algunas no hay más remedio que emplearlas, pero hay otras que me hacen daño a la vista cuando las leo. Por supuesto, también hay grandes periodistas que escriben fantásticamente.

He hecho una lista con las expresiones que más suelo encontrarme en las páginas de las revistas.
