7 Most stylish male fashion influencers to follow on Instagram

It’s an undeniably apparent fact: what we’ve all been seeing lately is the same banal, oversized T-shirt and trouser combo that has been replicated time and time again by everyone and anyone. You could take a walk down the street while simply strolling—be it while you’re shopping or even while you’re sipping your perfectly brewed cup of coffee at a cafe somewhere in the city and you’ll see what we mean.

We understand why the effects of the pandemic have caused us to reach out to more comfortable clothing pieces like the graphic and logomania tees paired with trousers, joggers or even shorts. This, however, is an overdone thing of the past. As every Instagram and TikTok fashion connoisseur knows, the key to standing out is in the incorporation of elevated items that are simple but carry a varied design language—like wearing a pair of mules instead of a beat-up pair of Chuck Taylors. That’s not to say we have anything against the staple Chuck Taylors, but a little change now and then is good.

So, as a response to the repose in effort taken to dress up lately, we’ve taken it upon ourselves to show you a few of our personal (and mainly international for now) style gurus that we’ve been looking to for some fashion ingenuity. For women, rest assured that in this age of gender-fluid dressing, you can also get ideas from here to upscale your day-to-day style.
