The Best Dressed Black Creatives On Instagram This Week 1/19

Our online fashion favorites from 1/13 - 1/19

The Best Dressed Black Creatives On Instagram This Week 1/19
By Raquel Iman · Updated January 20, 2026

This week on Instagram, users rumaged through their personal archives to find photos of themselves from 2016, putting decade-old trends like high-rise skinny jeans, graphic tees, and circular sunnies on full display. The takeaway? Trends come and go, but style is forever, something that’s proven each week by our fashionable faves. 

Chocolate brown made repeated appearances on the timeline this week. And for good reason – it’s a great tone for the colder months, and not as severe as black. It’s also sultry and perfectly highlights the complexions of those with warmer undertones.  Maresha Chanel, a digital creator based in Jersey, wore the color as a two-piece outfit, featuring an off-the-shoulder top and a floor-length skirt in a trumpet silhouette, embellished with gold and silver-toned jewels. A fluffy coat constructed from looped yarn added to the monochromatic vibe and intelligently played with textures. 

Halfway across the world, filmmaker Herrana wore her chocolate brown look in a sunnier climate. A silky tie top with a plunging neckline, floor-length skirt, silver heels, and elegant jewelry demonstrated the versatility of this week’s hero color. 

Let’s be honest; Instagram can be the best place to find your next outfit. There is nothing wrong with grabbing a little inspiration from the Internet, and these creatives brought the best style this week.
