One of the best ways to improve your eye for fashion is to familiarize yourself with how pieces should be paired together and how the end result should be in total balance. Instagram is a great fashion reference for current trends and the latest styles if you’re following all the right people. The following are some fashion-forward accounts that I highly recommend:
Chiara Ferragni: Creator of “The Blonde Salad” fashion blog, Chiara Ferragni is a must when it comes to fashion icons to follow on Instagram. She collaborates with all the major Fashion Houses and can be seen at almost all high-fashion events. If that wasn’t enough to convince you, she has also been named one of the most influential personalities of the international fashion world by Business of Fashion. For someone with such high status in the fashion world, her Instagram is fun, down-to-earth and let’s not forget, inspiring (to say the least).
Something Navy: Arielle Noa Nachmani is a New York City-based fashion blogger that continually supplies killer street style. Often, dressing casually is one of the hardest things to pull off since there is such a fine line between being fashion-forward and looking like you’re trying too hard. Next time you find yourself contemplating how to keep your style calm, cool and collected, scroll through a few of Arielle’s outfit Instas and you’ll be sure to find the perfect fit.
Alealimay: If you need something a bit more edgy that also kisses the surface of high fashion, look no further. This girl has street fashion down to a science. She constantly plays around with different shapes and materials, always guaranteeing something completely new and unpredictable. Just take a look at a few of her photos and you’ll be sure to gain some valuable inspiration.
Sincerely Jules: Fashion blogger Julie Sarinana is one of my personal favorites. Her fashion sense is on-point and impeccably well-balanced. She never fails to give me outfit inspiration, forcing me to look at my closet in a completely new light. As if her wardrobe isn’t appealing enough, she constantly posts beautiful photos of her latest travel destinations along with natural landscapes that will take your breath away. Truly a work of art!
