A hallmark of a truly stylish individual is the ability to see beauty and cohesion where others may not. A quick scroll through Malonnie J’s curated Instagram feed made it clear that for her, this skill is innate. On Saturday, Malonnie posted a series of photos in a black leather skirt with a car wash hem and a matching crop top. A glossy dark green jacket with denim facing and a fringed black-and-white ombre clutch were smart additions to a perfectly executed look.
Digital creator Kelsey Andrea flexed her eye for aesthetics as well, mixing the ’80s trends that were prevalent in last season’s runways with a 2020s flair. An oversized leather jacket and knee-length shorts in chocolate brown, paired with an animal-print boot and hat, channeled a not-too-distant past, while a woven leather bag, leather gloves, and fringed scarf completed the monochromatic color scheme. At the same time, various keychains (one appeared to be an adorable dachshund, another a tennis ball) kept the look anchored in the 21st century by tapping into the accessory trend that’s been dominating all our feeds for the last couple of years.
This week, Telsha Anderson-Boone and her husband, Justin Boone, dropped an Instagram carousel of their best looks. The couple stuck to a neutral color palette that encouraged harmony while perfectly highlighting their individual styles. Telsha favored a high-waisted silhouette and went for pants that stole the spotlight, like a baggy cargo, a leather trouser, and a rust-colored denim with an extra panel attached to each leg — an ingenious way to add volume.
Meanwhile, Justin emphasized outerwear, selecting a shearling bomber, a chore coat, and a black biker jacket. The most exciting was a distressed 4-pocket corduroy number in white and grey with mismatched buttons. I guess having a significant other isn’t embarrassing — as long as they can match your fly.
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.
