Few things tell more about a person than their Instagram explore page. It's here where your 2am scroll of cat videos, recipes and skincare hacks are exposed in full colour. Yet, if you're using Instagram for fashion or styling advice, you'll want to take a more hands-on approach.
If you're hoping to find some real inspiration—namely from people who share your personal style, budget, and perhaps even body type (I promise they do exist!)—look to your Instagram 'following' list as a curated edit of people you're actually interested in. And, if you need a head-start, we've listed our own personal Marie Claire-approved list below.
Many will be familiar with Monikh for her laidback looks, specifically those with petite frames; anyone after office outfit inspiration will want to take a look at lawyer-slash-influencer Lisa Ing Marinelli, while Anna Rosa Vitiello is currently sharing some particularly impressive baby bump looks. Consider these accounts your solution to any 'I have no idea what to wear today' dilemmas.
