Don’t Sleep on These Black Fashion Influencers
I don’t know about you, but I could definitely use a mental escape right now. Usually I’m here telling you what to buy, but it feels good to switch things up and give Black fashion influencers some overdue love.
Long before the recent string of protests, these undeniably fly ladies were consistently shining on the ’gram, setting trends and showing off their dope approach to what’s in and what’s out. If you aren’t paying attention to their timelines, you’re definitely missing the wave, from the always-on-point fashionistas in the States to the melanated (yep, that’s a word now, thanks to Bey) style stars overseas. Scroll down for a ton of style inspiration and don’t forget to hit that follow button.
