The rules of style for men have evolved

It's no longer just about gentlemanly class, sophistication, or even being suave. There is an art to dressing down and looking casual. Question is: how does one pull off that ultra-cool, effortless look?

We take to Instagram for some serious style inspiration: here are the ten who do men’s fashion excruciatingly well. And only several million followers agree.

1. Luka Sabbat

Need some street-spiration? Luka Sabbat—aka Mr. Fallback—is rarely seen without the coolest kicks and pieces by the biggest streewear brands (there's no shortage of Supreme and Vetements on his feed).

More than just a brand snob, it’s the way this young creative entrepreneur puts an outfit together that has his followers coming back for more. Not to mention, this twenty-something has nailed how to do dreadlocks in 2018.

2. Paul Jason Klein

Paul Jason Klein—the singer and front man of American indie pop band LANY—is obviously watched closely for his band's music, but we’re even bigger fans of his style: namely, a cool nostalgia via '90s-inspired denim jackets, cuffed jogger pants and skater tees. 

Klein is also a lesson in what a hair change can do for a man. After years of shoulder-length curls, the brunette has braved this season’s coolest (literally) men’s hairstyle, the buzz cut, just in time for summer.

3. Antoni Porowski

Officially, he's the resident food and wine guru on the rebooted Queer Eye For A Straight Guy series on Netflix. Off-screen, his sartorial choices are just as delicious. 

Porowski takes well-cut casual basics and amps them up with chic accessories. In fact, he is most often seen in a basic white tee, which he dresses up with blazers, scarves and often, a tea towel strewn over his shoulder.

4. Nick Wooster

For a more sartorial take on streetwear, there’s style veteran Nick Wooster. The New York designer, fashion buyer, stylist and entrepreneur thrives on incongruent pairing when it comes to his personal style: military meets sports, contemporary meets dystopian and monochrome meets pops of print and colour.

Wooster is a must-follow for his inspirational approach to fitness (and what he wears while working out) and of course, his silver fox locks. Older gents, be inspired.

8. Leo Mandella

Leo is the real deal. The young Brit (yes, he’s just 15) serves up squares of high-end streetwear, and with this season’s Vetements/Gosha Rubchinskiy Eastern Europe inflection.

Never one to shy away from hyped up brands (think Nike, Supreme and Palace), fashion-forward fans come to Gully Guy for straight-up modernised fashion nostalgia that’ll have you reminiscing about your teenage years.
