It may be the last month of 2025, but Instagram’s best dressed aren’t pumping the brakes just yet. The year’s most viral trends were front and center this week (think fringe, disco belts, and thonged boots), and creatives ditched traditional cold-weather shades like burgundy and navy, favoring more vibrant colors instead.
Scrolling through Courtney Blackwell’s Instagram feed is like taking a crash course in shape, color, and proportion. On Friday, the style guru posted a photo wearing high-waisted khaki pants that ballooned from the hips and puddled perfectly around a pair of chocolate brown, round-toe heels. On top, a yellow-green button-up with a matching tie and cinched waist created a superb silhouette. Oversized, lightly tinted frames, a multicolored striped handbag, and a Kangol hat in olive sage were envy-inducing accessories.
Hunting for the perfect winter staple to upgrade your wardrobe? This week, jewelry artist Taylor Nikole made a very strong case for the opera glove. An oversized pair in olive green went well with an embroidered top and a chartreuse midi skirt decked out with pleats and fringe. Shiny black boots and a bold red lip were punchy complements to a fabulous look.
Layering is a styling technique that has always existed, but with the resurgence of mid-aughts fashions, mixing casual and formal wear to create a stylish dissonance has become more popular than ever before. Digital blogger and corporate creative Tiarra executed this perfectly, rocking a brown tee with blue lettering under a sheer, purple lace cami, which she expertly paired with dark denim jorts, a cropped fur, open-toe boots, and a white handbag.
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.
