The 14 Most Fashionable People to Follow on Instagram for Colorful Style
As much as we love neutral palettes and all-black-everything, there’s just something about a high-octane #OOTD that makes us swoon — color-phobic though we might be. If giving your closet a bit of color therapy sits high on your list of resolutions for 2017, the roll call of style savvy Instababes below will feel like a godsend. Swapping out some of your black, white and camel-colored threads in favor of bolder, brighter separates and accessories feels a lot less intimidating when you have a wealth of sartorial inspiration at your disposal.
1. Monling Lee: This DC-based architect and urban designer originally started her Instagram account to casually capture colorful urban scenes, but over time it transformed into a visual catalog where style and the built environment intersect. Her specialty? Bold color blocking, sculptural threads, and — of course — intriguing city settings.

2. Miranda Makaroff: Spanish artist and designer Miranda Makaroff’s cool, quirky style and playful personality has us hooked. Each ensemble boasts an artful quality, thanks to details like hand-painted denim and punchy accessories. One word: obsessed.
3. Rosie Clayton: When it comes to color, Rosie Clayton is the queen. The former boutique owner is the force behind @walltraveled — an Insta account dedicated to rad wall art across the globe — and pretty much #slaysallday with her high-octane ensembles that exude It-girl vibes.
4. Alanna Durkovich: Vancouver-based blogger and mom of two Alanna has a keen sense of fashion that we just can’t get enough of. Throwback styling and pro-level layering are what she does best, and while the #OOTDs themselves aren’t exactly rainbow bright, her ever-changing hair color certainly is. Girl’s got the most enviable pink lob around.

Consider her feed a one-stop-shop for all of your colorful off-duty sartorial needs.

7. Kirsten Zellers: Blue hair, don’t care. This Instababe’s colorful tresses are giving us serious hair envy. While her ensembles stray towards pale pastels and neutrals, her mermaid locks are a technicolor delight. Forget balayage — we’re going blue.

10. Just a Uniform: This Instababe’s moto? “More is more, less is bore.” Bold prints, eye-catching color, and rainbow hair are just a few of the things you’ll find on this Brit’s Insta. But our favorite part is the slew of abstract backdrops and OTT architecture that goes hand-in-hand with each pic.
11. Stella of J’adore Fashion: If there’s one blogger babe that has the whole balance thing on lock, it’s J’adore Fashion‘s Stella. The self-proclaimed shoe addict is living proof that you can embrace color without totally venturing outside your comfort zone. One minute you’ll see her stepping out in a badass pink suit a la the stunner above, and the next she’ll be holdin’ it down in distressed boyfriend jeans and a classic button-down blouse.
12. Danié Gómez-Ortigoza: This modern-day Frida Kahlo and Glamour correspondent possesses a closet that could only be described as a work of art. Bright botanical prints, brilliant headpieces and fluid silhouettes are the bread and butter of her wardrobe. We dare you not to run out and scoop up a slew of high-octane threads after scrolling through her feed.
