As someone who’s worked in both the editorial and social media realms for over six years, I can tell you that discovery is the best part of the job. Whether it’s the latest knee-high boots or cool AAPI-owned brands, there’s something magical about what scrolling through the internet can unveil. But possibly the best discovery is a rising fashion influencer who feeds your need for work outfit inspiration or your new TikTok obsession. And with so many great fashion influencers out there, it’s hard to know who to follow. So I reached out to some of my favorite fashion influencers, and ahead, they’re sharing their favorite internet pastimes, personal style, and fall shopping lists. Whether they have 2000 followers or 20,000, these 23 fashion influencers will give your feed a breath of fresh air.
WHO: Kylee Walker, Fashion Content Creator. What three words would you use to describe your personal style? My style is constantly changing, and that’s something I love about fashion. However, I’d describe it as unique, funky, and artistic. What can people expect if they follow you on social media? My social media is used as an outlet to share my unique sense of style and inspire my followers on what to wear and how to style it. But I also love photography and love creating aesthetically pleasing photos. I put so much work into deciding what scene and background an outfit will go with and then executing my vision. What’s your favorite internet pastime? I am super into thrifting; one of my favorite places to shop is Depop. Depop can definitely elevate your style, as you can find the most unique vintage pieces at reasonable prices that no one else will have!
What is in your shopping cart for fall currently? I love long solid-colored trench coats. They are the perfect statement piece that gives a big pop of color.
I also want to invest in some brown loafers. Loafers are a fall staple, and brown ones would go amazing with a skirt and an oversize brown leather jacket, which is another item in my shopping cart!
WHO: Richlove Rockson, Plus-Size Fashion Influencer. What three words would you use to describe your personal style? Elegant, casual, and high-fashion. What can people expect if they follow you on social media? They can expect fashion content, outfit ideas, and conversations around body positivity. What’s your favorite internet pastime? My favorite internet pastime is watching inspirational and fun videos and memes on Instagram and TikTok! I also like to look at outfits online and try to re-create them for my figure. When in a styling rut, I look to other inspiring individuals (like @lizzobeeating, @irenadrezi, @mollymae, and @lateciat) who share positivity and are not afraid to wear what they want.
What is in your shopping cart for fall currently? I am absolutely in love with this denim set combined with a matching vest and blazer from Boyish!
WHO: Shrutika Gavane, Fashion Influencer . What three words would you use to describe your personal style? Minimal, chic, and trendy. What can people expect if they follow you on social media? When people follow me on Instagram, they can find a lot of minimal street style outfit pictures along with moody reels with some of my favorite music. What’s your favorite internet pastime? I currently find the Reels on my Instagram Explore quite entertaining and love watching them as a pastime.
I’m eyeing this With Jéan dress for fall. Everything about it is perfect—from the chocolate-brown hue to the corset bodice.
You can’t go wrong with a leather blazer for fall, and this Zara one is at the top of my fall shopping list.
WHO: Lina S. What three words would you use to describe your personal style? Tomboy, minimal, sometimes classy. What can people expect if they follow you on social media? You can expect a lot of real and honest topics on life, relationships, and friendships from the perspective of a 26-year-old down-to-earth girl from a small town in Belgium who is slowly making a name for herself in the fashion world. What’s your favorite internet pastime? It used to be Tumblr; that’s how I started sharing my sense of style on the internet. I was obsessed with the platform and made many friends with whom I am still in touch at the moment. Now it’s more Pinterest and my Instagram account, as I follow a lot of inspiring accounts that vary from fashion to fitness.
What is in your shopping cart for fall currently? During fall, I wear a lot of sweaters. Lately, I have had my eyes on the beautiful sweater from Casablanca.

What can people expect if they follow you on social media? I tend to invest in things that I love; no occasion will stop me from wearing them! So from following me on Instagram, you will see my key investment pieces styled in lots of different ways to make them work for any occasion. I’m also a massive fan of a camera-roll dump! What’s your favorite internet pastime? Instagram is, without a doubt, my favorite internet pastime. (I avoid screen-time notifications at all costs.) Once I get past the endless dog and meme accounts I follow, I find @naomianwerr’s account a constant source of inspiration for styling—she can layer outfits like no other! I also love to follow the brand @palomawool. After adding a few of their pieces to my wardrobe, I can tell you it’s a slippery slope for the bank balance, and they’re guaranteed to get, “Where did you get those pants?” at least three times per wear.
What is in your shopping cart for fall currently? This Ganni dress lives in my mind rent-free. I’d wear everything from rubber boots to New Balance sneakers with this dress; it’s perfect for every occasion. Plus, you can never be too dressed for the grocery store.

What’s your favorite internet pastime? I am definitively addicted to Instagram. I spend hours on the app looking for inspiration. I found a lot of inspiration on different profiles, but a few of my favorites are @romeofashionfix, @by.regiina, @zarafredholm, and @imhannawhiting. I also mainly shop online. I find shopping directly in-store too tiring, and I prefer the quiet comfort of shopping on my couch.
What is in your shopping cart for fall currently? I have way too many carts filled with long structured coats.
I’m also in love with the idea of a leather trench coat for fall.
WHO: Anam Asad, Fashion Influencer . What three words would you use to describe your personal style? Three words to describe my style would be dynamic, elegant, and eclectic.

I love creating and finding the beauty of simple things around me; capturing those moments and sharing them makes me happy. I try to be more natural when putting outfits together and let colors, materials, trends, and the season influence the final look. My style is constantly changing, and I’m always pushing myself to mix different pieces to come up with something new.
What is in your shopping cart for fall currently? These Jeffrey Campbell loafers are what fall is all about. They can elevate any outfit to give it the perfect classy streetwear look.
The perfect oversize blazer is hard to find that is an ideal combination of print, color, and fit. This might just be it!
WHO: Georgia. What three words would you use to describe your personal style? Laid-back, mood-dependent, vintage. What can people expect if they follow you on social media? They can expect a whole lot of style in between the daily randomness that is life. What’s your favorite internet pastime? Who remembers Tumblr? I do because I still use it!

I like to go there for inspiration and much-needed downtime while remaining online if I want to.

They can expect lots of outfits, lots of championing rental fashion, lots of my friends and family’s pets thrown in for fun, and lots of cowboy hats. What’s your favorite internet pastime? I spend an increasingly (worrying) amount of time on TikTok. I love all the niche trends that come up in your algorithm. In terms of fashion TikTokers, I love Sara Camposarcone and Anna Golkayepez because they both share all the outfits they have bought secondhand in the United States. It makes me want to travel across the pond and get thrifting.
What is in your shopping cart for fall currently? I have my eyes on the E8 by Miista Liezel boots. I’ve worn my Ganni knee-high boots to death and feel like these could be a good upgrade for fall.
I’m also deciding what to pre-order from the House of Sunny S/S 22 collection. I think the City of Angels Peggy Cardigan has my name on it.
WHO: Jadzia Peters, Fashion and Lifestyle Content Creator . What three words would you use to describe your personal style? My style is sexy, affordable, and colorful. What can people expect if they follow you on social media? I think people can expect to see an authentic person. I am a midsize fashion content creator, so obviously expect a lot of clothes, but I’m a little different in that I don’t hold anything back. Whether it’s the fit of clothing or as raw as mental illness and living with borderline personality disorder, you can always expect me to be open with my followers. What’s your favorite internet pastime? Pinterest or Instagram for sure, although it’s a close toss-up, as I can lose a whole day looking at Pinterest interiors and pinning to my board. I also love following creators who look like me and empower me—women with full-size bodies who are confident in their personal style.
What is in your shopping cart for fall currently? I like to stay on a budget, so these will probably haunt my cart for a while, but I’ve been eyeing a new pair of shoes, and these brown Jordans have me drooling.

Watching dog videos on TikTok for hours without realizing it—I genuinely fall down a hole at times.
What is in your shopping cart for fall currently? I love a good sweater that gives off college vibes, and the Who What Wear Collection’s Ray Striped Sweater is at the top of my wish list.
I’m also not over the chunky-boot trend that dominated last fall—it’s worth buying into if you haven’t already. I know I will be!
WHO: Anoushka. What three words would you use to describe your personal style? Streetwear-inspired, chic, ’90s vibes. What can people expect if they follow you on social media? I guess a girl who’s in love with luxury fashion, art, and beauty. I love sharing and expressing these passions. I’ve mentioned this quote, “Sower of Joy,” in my bio because it’s important for me to inspire, bring glee, shine through to people with all things on my account. What’s your favorite internet pastime? I love spending time on Pinterest, Tumblr, and Instagram to find some inspiration for my looks. I also love following my friends, including @alexandraguerain, @jaimetoutcheztoi, @mrfoures, @jennybvby, @thevisuelofgrace, @highishe, @rosiehw, and @soleneoj.
What is in your shopping cart for fall currently? I don’t have a favorite place to shop; I can shop everywhere so long as the piece is of excellent quality. For me, this oversize Fendi cardigan is at the top of my wish list for fall.
Suiting is also a fall wardrobe staple that I continue to invest in season after season.

What can people expect if they follow you on social media? Classic style, thoughtful words, and places to see. I love sharing vintage musings, film photography, and vulnerability. It’s a peek into my life living in L.A. as a fashion blogger, actress, and writer. What’s your favorite internet pastime? I have to admit I do enjoy TikTok. I love creating mini videos that can tell a story more than just a photo post on Instagram. So much of my style inspiration comes from French New Wave film, and this platform gives me the space to experiment.

What can people expect if they follow you on social media? If people follow me on social media, they can expect an interesting take on modest fashion. And content inspired by my faith, my Jamaican/Black culture, a whole lot of bomb nail files, me lovin‘ on my natural hair, and my yearly Met Gala and red carpet reviews on my Instagram stories! What’s your favorite internet pastime? My favorite internet pastime is either going on Instagram or Pinterest and creating different mood boards featuring industry legends like Vogue market editor Naomi Elizée, and The Cut’s editor in chief, Lindsay Peoples Wagner.
