The Best Dressed Black Creatives On Instagram This Week

Our online fashion favorites from 12/16 - 12/22
The Best Dressed Black Creatives On Instagram This Week
By Raquel Iman · Updated December 22, 2025

Last week, New Yorkers welcomed their first official snowfall of the season. While fresh white snow can be beautiful to look at, maintaining style in below-freezing temperatures requires a certain level of finesse. Luckily this comes naturally for our fashionable listees. Eye-catching tights emerged as a practical yet chic way to sport minis in sub-30 environments. Pattern mixing was also prevalent on the Instagram timeline, a styling technique that when executed correctly can take your look to a whole new level. 

Taylor Cassidy, a published author and digital creator, paired wine-colored lace tights with a matching, lightly ruched top. A white-and-green-striped halter dress worn underneath became a makeshift skirt and went well with a beret in a similar shade. Pink ballet flats, a pink paisley minibag, and gold jewelry finished the look. 

Elba, an Amsterdam-based fashionista, made argyle sweater print tights cool again. Styled with a grey wool skirt, a cropped collarless jacket, and two-toned pumps, this school uniform staple just became a covetable wardrobe piece. Thick-frame eyeglasses and a leather handbag were perfect accessories. 

Pattern mixing is always fun, but few are bold enough to pull it off. Fashion designer Miaysha executed this trend with ease, pairing cow print boots with a shaggy coat that had a colorful horizontal stripe motif. Essence Nyrie, also a designer, joined the fray, coupling a multicolored striped corset with a color blocked trench.

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.
