Statistics published in May 2014 revealed that Instagram has over 200 million active monthly users, with 7.2 million religiously checking their news feed each day. And according to a report published by think-tank L2 Intelligence, the picture-sharing platform gets 1.2 billion likes per day. With these seriously impressive figures in mind, it’s not hard to see why Instagram has become an addiction for fashion-conscious individuals.
Yet never fear, today we bring you the top ten Instagram accounts every man should follow (excluding our own: @stachysross, of course), so you’ll always look sharp – even if you’re short of time…see more after cut.....
Pharrell Williams
A multi-talented producer, artist and fashion designer, Pharrell’s ability to make even the most outrageous pieces work has helped him achieve almost god-like status within the menswear community. After all, is there anyone else who can pull off Swarovski encrusted Stan Smith trainers, cropped tuxedo pants and quilted yellow vests? Not that we can think of.
All of this aside, Pharrell’s page is worth hitting up purely to keep up to date with the A-list adventures of his headline-grabbing Vivienne Westwood hats.

Fabio Attanasio
Fabio Attanasio is an impeccably smart fashion blogger and freelance journalist with a passion for tailoring. The young Italian – who runs his own site thebespokedudes.com and writes for a luxury lifestyle magazine in Milan – updates his Instagram account on a regular basis. He describes his own sophisticated personal style, as “a continuously evolving classic”.
Johannes Huebl
We’re not sure if it’s the filters he uses or his skill with a camera, but every single shotJohannes Huebl takes looks as though it’s been lifted straight off the pages of a glossy magazine. Johannes always nails his dapper outfit choice.
To date, the square-jawed German has over 365,000 Instagram admirers. But don’t expect him to return the favour by checking out your profile. Johannes only follows thirty-six accounts, most of which are his close friends: “I use it to take screenshots of stylish things that inspire me. I like to keep my feed uncluttered,” he explains.
Mr Porter
In February 2011, the Net-A-Porter Group really shook up the men’s fashion market by launching MrPorter.com, which the company say has “established itself as the premier global online retail destination for men’s style”.
Mr Porter’s profile collates all of a man’s needs on one page. Not only do they use the space to showcase the latest pair of round-framed tortoiseshell sunglasses about to drop online, they also provide followers with a lesson on the world’s finer details.
So if you’re desperate to know how to shake hands like an Italian or make the perfect cup of coffee at home, Mr Porter has it covered.

Men With Class / Men With Street Style
Although there’s no doubt that following influential bloggers, major stars and brands will help satisfy your fashion needs, there will be occasions when all you want to see on your feed is a timeless outfit.
As well as helping make a man’s daily outfit selection process much easier, MenWithClass also gives its followers the chance of getting Internet exposure of their own. Users simply need to accompany an upload with #MenWithClass for the chance to be featured on what they describe as the “fastest growing” men’s style page.
Tommy Ton
Being one of the most renowned street style photographers in the industry, there’s no denying that Tommy Ton has an impeccable eye for fashion.
The self-trained Canadian – who can count Japanese Vogue‘s Anna Della Russo among his long list of admirers – can be found snapping guests and models with his Nikon D5000 at fashion weeks in London, New York, Paris and Milan when he’s not updating his blog, the legendary jakandjil.com, or contributing to GQ.com and Style.com.
