A lookbook is a collection of photographs compiled to show off a model, photographer, style, stylist, or clothing line. Usually, bloggers or vloggers will "model" fashionable looks for that month or season. This gives viewers ideas on how to style outfits, or to show what the latest fashions are.{{cite news|url=https://tmagazine.blogs.nytimes.com//tag/look-books/|author=Courtney A.

Lookbooks in their online form can be described as "fashion diaries" because bloggers are constantly updating them on a daily or weekly basis. However, sometimes they are made to compile the looks of other people such as a celebrity, politicians or socialites.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.thecut.com/2009/04/michelle_obama_slideshow.html|author=Sharon Clott|title=The Michelle Obama Lookbook|magazine=The Cut|date=April 8, 2009}} They can also be used as an artist's portfolio.
