25 Black Fashion Influencers To Follow For Serious Style Inspo
If stylish, fashion-forward content creators are what you seek, look no further than the lineup of black fashion influencers below. These 25 talented women have it all—incredible personal style, closets full of high-end buys, look-for-less alternatives, thrifted vintage finds or handmade pieces crafted from their own designs—not to mention Instagram grids that are pretty much Insta goals.
As a fashion-lover, I tend to use my Instagram feed similarly to a Pinterest board. Yes, I follow my friends and brands I love, but the larger portion of my follows are fashionistas that can fill my feed with the style inspo I crave. I love screenshooting and bookmarking looks to recreate later, and I’m always looking for cool new accounts to fall in love with.
In 2020, few “influencers” are simply that. These women are content creators, bloggers, vloggers, models, entrepreneurs, designers, activists and so much more. Yes, their IG posts are beautiful, but there’s so much more to these accounts than just good looks and keen fashion. Whether they’re creating the next must-shop fashion collection or advocating for diversity and inclusivity in fashion, these women take the cake when it comes to who to follow.
If you’re looking to shake up your Insta feed with some new faces, look no further than our 25 faves below. It won’t be long until you’re shopping Kellie Brown’s And I Get Dressed merch, streaming Gisele Smith’s I’m Screaming podcast, binge-watching Karen Blanchard’s YouTube channel and bookmarking every OOTD Shelcy & Christy Joseph post.
