Airline
Vim-airline and powerline are both statusline plugins can be used for vim. If you want to use statusline for vim only, try the lightweight plugin Vim-airline. It is easier to setup than powerline.
Vim-airline (normal mode)
Vim-ariline (insert model)
You can install the plugin by the tutorial Add Plugins by Vundle.
Here is the basic settings for airline:
set laststatus=2 " Show statusline all the time
let g:airline_powerline_fonts = 1 " Use powerline symbols (You need powerline-symbol-patched fonts installed)
You can download patched fonts from powerline-fonts or use font patcher to patch your favourite font with symbols.
