30 Black Fashionistas To Follow On Instagram
BY JAMILA STEWART · JULY 8, 2020
If New York, Paris, Milan and London are the four fashion capitals of the world, then figuratively speaking, Instagram is easily the fifth. As trends disappear as quickly as they arrive, and as the fashion retail cycle continues to speed up and diversify, it can be hard to keep up with what’s what. But through following the right accounts on Instagram, you’ve basically got a modern style encyclopedia at your fingertips.
Nothing feels more like summer than July, and though yes, summer looks different this year, to say the least, the urge to sport a look is stronger than ever after months of being married to loungewear. Trends that were essentially swept under the radar after the world came to a stop are sure to begin emerging soon, and confessed fashion enthusiasts are typically the first to catch wind of them.
Having access to a wide range of individuals across the world means endless styling inspiration and the opportunity to see just how versatile fashion really is. Ahead, here are 30 accounts to follow that are proof that style has no boundaries.
