Fashion is ever evolving and it’s very hard to stay updated with every new red carpet look, celebrity collaboration collection, and fashion week standouts. If you feel like you don’t have enough time to read through every fashion article, then you can still catch up with the happenings of fashion world through social media – most notably Instagram.


This week, we bring you the top seven fashion accounts you need to follow to know everything that goes on in the fashion circles. Besides keeping you updated on fashion trends, these accounts will also give you the style inspiration you need. 


@alexachung

This 35-year-old British writer, presenter, model and fashion designer doesn’t need an introduction. She has been hailed as the most fashionable Brit of the 21st Century (alongside the Beckhams) and even awarded with the British Style Awards by The Fashion Awards (founded by the British Fashion Council). She has a very fun Instagram account where she uploads her own OOTDs (Outfit Of The Day), new releases from her eponymous label, interesting vintage photos, things she finds amusing and behind the scenes from her own photo shoots. You will definitely find your daily dose of fashion inspiration through her Instagram account.

@voguerunway

If you are somebody who loves knowing the hot trends off the runway as soon as they appear, then you need to follow Vogue Runway’s Instagram account. They update their Instagram account multiple times a day – always with an informative caption for every photo they upload explaining the picture and giving you an insight on what is new and popular in the fashion world. More often than not, they also have an article out on Vogue’s website that further explains what they give a glimpse of in their photos with a link to it mentioned in the captions or in their bio.


@scandinavianfashions

If there’s anyone who understands winter fashion and knows what to wear to stay warm and still look stylish and cool in it, then it’s the Scandinavians. And this account is your perfect guide to their best looks. With almost 200 thousand followers and over 2600 posts, this account is one of the best winter street style accounts on Instagram right now. It brings to you the most stylish, creative, and well-matched outfit combinations from models, stylists, celebrities, and fashion bloggers multiple times a day.  So, next time you don’t know what to wear for the day, just scroll through their feed and you will be able to put together something in no time at all. 


@whowhatwear

Who What Wear is a digital magazine that is based on fashion and current style trends. Their Instagram account of the same handle also runs on the same concept. They upload their favorite looks from fashion weeks, red carpet, celebrity social medias, street style, and fashion enthusiasts in general. Because their content covers a large number of genres within fashion, their Instagram account has pictures and style guides for everyone. Their captions are either cute and short behind the scenes stories of the pictures or ways to style the item of clothing they are showcasing in the picture.


@peepy_and_mother_lee

Coordinating outfits with our moms might be the worst nightmare for most of us but it looks like Thai fashionista Pattharapol (who goes by Peepy and is the editor for Thai lifestyle and fashion magazine Hi Magazine) lives for this. If you take a peek into his Instagram account that he co-runs with his mother, Lee Puengboonpra, you will see them donning coordinating and identical – if not the same – clothing in almost every picture and posing very similarly too. The whole account’s aesthetic is very cool and interesting. Also, it’s always fun (though unconventional) to be able to include your mother into your fashion choices. We highly recommend you give it a try. 


@ireneisgood

You must be living under a rock if you don’t know Irene Kim. This 31-year-old South Korean fashionista rose to fame in the international fashion arena back in 2015 when she was selected as one of the global contributors for Estée Lauder and debuted as a model to watch out for during the 2014 fashion weeks. Her Instagram account provides an intimate and stylish insight to what her life as one of the most popular Asian models is like. You will frequently see photos of her running into your favorite K-pop stars as she is friends with a lot of them including Blackpink’s Jennie and SHINee’s Key.


@ootdmagazine

For this account, the account’s handle speaks for itself. You will see an array of outfit inspirations, fashion blogger’s take on the best fashion accessories, and street style from around the world in this account. If you can only follow one account dedicated to fashion, style, and outfit inspirations, then it has to be OOTD Magazine’s Instagram page. Although their pictures are a little too saturated and edited at times, it doesn’t take away from the outfits and clothing they are showcasing. Every now and then they also upload short videos tutorials covering how to style a certain item and even give outfit ideas for specific occasions.
