Top 20 Best WordPress Blog Themes
Today’s post is all about the best blog themes. While it’s not directly related to the subjects of Classy Yet Trendy (fashion, beauty and lifestyle), a well-designed blog theme is important to a blogger. If you’re a reader of fashion, style and beauty blogs, you notice how beautiful most of these blogs look. They have a great layout, beautiful colors and all the design elements help make the photos pop off the screen. Without a good blog design, blogs would look b-o-r-i-n-g. If you are already a blogger, or are thinking about starting a blog, read on to find out how easy it is to have a beautiful blog…
When I first started Classy Yet Trendy, I was on the Blogger platform. I bought my Blogger theme from 17th Avenue and installed the Olivia Ryan theme. The design was simple and beautiful and was easy to install.
When Classy Yet Trendy’s pageviews increased significantly, I needed a more robust platform, so I decided to convert to WordPress. I spent hours researching to find a blog theme for the WordPress platform. Since I just had a blog, the first theme I installed was the Lucy & Lane theme from AngieMakes.com. It’s a well-designed theme and I recommend it for it’s functionality and customization features.
In the Winter of 2015, I wrote my first E-Book, “The Essential Capsule Wardrobe: Winter 2016 Collection” in the Capsule Wardrobe E-Book Series. After the success of the first E-Book, I knew I needed a blog theme that would work for both a blog and a full website with e-commerce. I’m now using the Tickled Pink theme from Restored316. This was the easiest theme I’ve installed and customized.
I’ve also used a couple of food-based blogs for my food blog, Urban Girl Bakes, which is still live, but I’m not actively posting on it. The blog theme I’m using for it is the Foodie Pro Theme. I’ve also used the Divine Theme too.
Since I’ve been blogging for 2 years now and also have a college degree in computer information systems, I have an extensive knowledge of computers, blogging and the Blogger and WordPress platforms. If you’re thinking about starting a blog and don’t know where to begin, I’ve been in your shoes. If you need help starting a blog or installing/designing your blog, let me know and I’ll be glad to help. I don’t have a services page yet, but ask and I’ll let you know.
Here are the top 20 blog themes for the WordPress platform. You could customize these for fashion, style, beauty, food and photography websites. All are customizable, meaning that you can change the colors and make minor changes to the layout.

I do really like the Isabelle theme. I like a customized look though, something that is specific to that blog. Maybe that’s why I make my own using highly customizable themes 🙂
Found your post through the Monday Madness linkup.. thank you for sharing! I just started a real food and natural living blog, and have been looking for a decent theme. I don’t have the money to pay for a theme yet, but I’m pinning your post because I soon as I do, I’m going to need good suggestions! In the meantime, do you have any tips for free themes that work well with food? I’m using the 2016 wordpress theme right now, and I don’t like the fact that you have to scroll down to the latest post. If you want to check out my site, it’s http://www.widemeadow.com
So many great themes here! I have definitely seen a few blogs with these (or something similar) before!

Perfect timing. I am looking to rework my site. Brighten it up a bit. I love the different themes that you chose to showcase.
Thanks for highlighting some of these themes. I’m using Foodie Pro (see it at http://gingerwroot.com/) and I’ve been very pleased with it. Minimalist Baker has a great set of video tutorials for this theme too. I went with Foodie Pro as a first-time novice so it’s pretty user friendly. I’m still working on graphics, etc., but I haven’t found too many limitations at this point.
Again, thanks for a great post!

These are beautiful! I’m definitely going to pin this so when I’m ready to make the switch I can can use one of these. I love that they’re modern and elegant. I’m stumbling this too.
I have the Tasteful theme and I love it! So easy to customize. Thank you for sharing with us at Merry Monday!
These are delightful! I’m certainly going to stick this so when I’m prepared to do the switch I can utilize one of these. I adore that they’re cutting edge and rich. I’m faltering this as well.
