By: Olivia Marrone and Valeria Ramos

In recent months, men’s style has become more prominent than ever on Instagram. Initially saturated with female fashion lovers, the blogger community now has its fair share of male fashion enthusiasts. With popular publications such as GQ catering to the must-know trends within the men’s fashion scene, male bloggers and influencers provide stylish inspiration in a relaxed way that feels attainable and easy to emulate.

If you’re looking for men’s style inspiration, you’ve come to the right place. Here are some of the best male fashion influencers and bloggers you should be following on Instagram.

Wisdom Kaye, @wisdm

From YSL vibes to a street-style aesthetic, Wisdom Kaye’s Instagram is the definition of showcasing high fashion items in an approachable way. Since most of his photos are taken in front of simple backgrounds, Kaye’s high-quality images allow for his outfits to be the focus. This creates an effortless feed to scroll through. With his style highly coveted and his account quickly gaining popularity, Kaye has worked on campaigns with brands like Ralph Lauren and American Eagle.

Olivier Brillant, @je.suis.olivier

Adding a laid-back touch to any aesthetic, Olivier Brillant’s Instagram is a must-follow for everyday style inspiration. With his signature round-framed glasses, beanie, and cuffed pants, Brillant’s style is a mix of classic-meets-90s, which he shares through outfit photos (often pictured sitting on a black stool) and Instagram Reels. Based on wardrobe basics, Brillant’s style proves that anyone can take wardrobe basics and style them in unique ways to create new and trendy looks.

Bryant Simmons, @bryantsimmons

Bryant Simmons is a stylist whose Instagram is a great source of inspiration if you’re looking to mix up your style and try something new. Eclectic and ahead of the curve with fashion trends, Simmons shows his followers how to make bold pieces wearable for everyday outfits. From loafers paired with loose-fitting jeans and a vibrant sweater to, most recently, bedazzled jogger pants with a blue checked shacket, Simmons’s aesthetic is NYC street-style at its finest.

Louis Powell, @youngmanpowell

If you’re a fan of men’s fashion in the 70s, you’re going to love Louis Powell’s Instagram. Featuring flared trousers, pointed-toe shoes, and a seemingly effortless approach to styling, Powell’s style is reminiscent of Hedi Slimane’s work at Celine (which makes sense, since he walked in the French fashion house’s SS21 Men’s runway show). Powell’s style also seems to be influenced by the 80s, opting for jackets with wider shoulders, loose-fitting trousers, and vibrant color combinations.

Matthias Geerts, @matthiasgeerts

Showing his outfits as well as lifestyle photos, Matthias Geerts’s Instagram is the perfect mix of style inspiration and lifestyle/travel photography. Geerts’s style is casual with a hint of fashion, meaning that they are very simple looks as a whole but there’s always an element of current fashion trends incorporated into the looks. Whether it’s sweater vests or chunky sneakers, Geerts shows that incorporating fashion trends can be easily infused into your current wardrobe and effortlessly take your look to the next level.

Oscar Sanchez, @oscxrsanchez

FIT student Oscar Sanchez is no exception to the stereotype of a well-dressed fashion pupil.

Christian Hicks, @ch.al.hi
