What you get with a Vogue subscription

A Vogue subscription delivers the print magazine to your home each month, or gives you access to digital editions on your phone, tablet, or computer. The print edition arrives roughly 10 to 14 days after the cover date. Digital access typically begins on the cover date itself, so you see new content before the print copy arrives.

The magazine includes fashion photography, trend reporting, celebrity interviews, beauty and wellness features, and advertising from luxury and mainstream brands. Special issues — like the September fashion issue and the annual Men's issue — cost more than regular monthly editions if you buy them individually, but are included in most subscription plans at no extra charge.

Print subscribers also receive access to Vogue.com's full archive and some exclusive digital content. Digital-only subscribers get the full website plus the digital replica of each month's magazine. Neither subscription includes access to Vogue's video platform or podcast feeds beyond what appears free on the website.

Key Takeaways

  • Print subscriptions cost between $30 and $60 per year depending on promotional offers, while digital-only subscriptions typically run $10 to $15 per year.
  • You can subscribe directly through Vogue's website, through third-party subscription services like Amazon Prime Reading or Apple News+, or through retail partners like Target.
  • Print subscriptions take 4 to 6 weeks to begin after you place your order, so order in advance if you want a specific issue.
  • Cancellation policies vary by where you subscribe: direct subscriptions can usually be cancelled anytime, but third-party services follow their own rules.
  • Renewal rates are typically higher than introductory rates, so check your renewal price before your subscription auto-renews.

Subscription pricing and where to buy

Vogue offers three main subscription routes, each with different pricing. Direct subscriptions through Vogue.com usually start at $30 to $40 per year for print, though promotional offers sometimes drop this to $15 to $20 for the first year. Digital-only subscriptions through Vogue.com run $10 to $15 per year. Renewal rates — what you pay when your first term ends — are typically $60 to $80 per year for print, so the introductory price is the real deal.

Third-party platforms bundle Vogue into larger services. Amazon Prime Reading includes Vogue as part of a Prime membership (currently $139 per year for Prime overall, not just the magazine). Apple News+ includes Vogue for $9.99 per month or $99 per year. Google Play Newsstand and Texture (now part of Apple) also carry Vogue subscriptions. These platforms usually offer a free trial period — typically one month — before charging.

Retail partners like Target, Walmart, and some grocery store customer loyalty programs occasionally offer discounted subscription codes. These are usually one-time offers tied to a purchase or membership, not ongoing discounts. Check your store's website or ask at checkout whether they have current offers.

How to start a subscription

To subscribe directly through Vogue, go to Vogue.com and look for the "Subscribe" link, usually in the top navigation or footer. You will enter your mailing address (for print) or email (for digital), choose your subscription length and type, and pay by credit card, debit card, or PayPal. The site will ask whether you want to auto-renew; you can turn this off during checkout if you prefer to renew manually.

Print subscriptions take 4 to 6 weeks to arrive after your order is processed. You will receive a confirmation email immediately, but the first issue will not ship for several weeks. If you want a specific upcoming issue, check the cover date before ordering — the site usually shows which issue will arrive first based on current processing times.

To subscribe through a third-party service, go to that platform's website or app, search for Vogue, and follow their subscription flow. Amazon Prime Reading requires an active Prime membership. Apple News+ requires an Apple ID. Google Play Newsstand requires a Google account. Each platform handles billing, cancellation, and customer service separately from Vogue itself.

Cancelling or pausing your subscription

Direct Vogue subscriptions can be cancelled anytime through your account on Vogue.com. Log in, go to "Manage Subscription" or "Account Settings," and select "Cancel Subscription." You will see an option to pause instead of cancel — pausing holds your subscription for up to three months without charging you. Cancellation takes effect immediately for digital subscriptions; print subscriptions already shipped will still arrive.

If you subscribed through a third-party platform, you must cancel through that platform, not through Vogue. Amazon Prime Reading cancellations happen in your Amazon account settings. Apple News+ cancellations happen in your Apple ID settings. Each platform has its own cancellation page and timeline — some process cancellations immediately, others at the end of your billing cycle.

If you auto-renewed and want a refund, contact the platform or Vogue directly within a few days of the charge. Most will refund the renewal fee if you ask within 7 to 14 days, though policies vary. Keep your confirmation email and order number handy when you contact them.

What happens after your subscription ends

When your subscription term ends, you lose access to the digital archive and Vogue.com's full content (you can still read free articles). Print issues stop arriving. If you had auto-renewal turned on, you will be charged for another year automatically unless you cancelled beforehand.

After cancellation, Vogue will send promotional emails offering discounts to resubscribe. These offers are usually similar to or better than the introductory rate you paid initially. You can unsubscribe from these emails through the link at the bottom of each message, or by updating your email preferences in your Vogue account if you still have access to it.

Comparing Vogue to other fashion magazines

Vogue is the most expensive mainstream fashion magazine subscription. Harper's Bazaar and W Magazine typically cost $15 to $25 per year for print introductory rates. Architectural Digest and Bon Appétit (both Condé Nast titles like Vogue) run $10 to $20 per year. If you want multiple Condé Nast magazines, the company offers bundled subscriptions that cost less than buying each one separately.

Digital-only subscriptions to fashion and lifestyle content are cheaper overall. Substack newsletters from individual fashion writers, YouTube channels, and TikTok accounts offer trend coverage and styling advice for free, supported by ads. The trade-off is that you get one person's perspective rather than Vogue's editorial team and photographer network.

If you want to try Vogue before committing to a year, many libraries carry current and back issues in print and digital formats through apps like Libby or Hoopla. This is free if you have a library card, though you cannot keep issues permanently.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get a Vogue subscription as a gift?

Yes. Vogue.com has a gift subscription option during checkout. You enter the recipient's address, choose the subscription length, and Vogue sends a gift notification to them. The subscription usually begins within 4 to 6 weeks. You can also buy a gift code through some retailers, though availability varies.

Does my subscription include access to Vogue's website and archives?

Print subscribers get full access to Vogue.com and the digital archive. Digital-only subscribers also get full website access. Both can read articles, watch some videos, and browse past issues. Video content and podcasts beyond what appears on the free website may require separate subscriptions or memberships.

What if I move during my subscription?

Log into your Vogue account and update your mailing address. The change takes effect with your next issue, which usually ships 2 to 4 weeks after you update. If you move internationally, check whether Vogue ships to your new country — some regions are not covered by standard subscriptions.

Can I change my subscription from print to digital or vice versa?

You can cancel your current subscription and start a new one with a different format, but you cannot convert mid-term. If you have 6 months left on a print subscription and want to switch to digital, you would need to cancel the print subscription (which may or may not refund the unused portion) and then start a new digital subscription.

Why is my renewal price so much higher than my introductory price?

Introductory rates are promotional prices designed to attract new subscribers. Renewal rates are the standard price Vogue charges to keep subscribers. This is standard practice across magazine subscriptions. Before your renewal date, you can cancel and resubscribe at the introductory rate, though you may lose access briefly between subscriptions.
