Men Fashion Influencer, does that sound alien? When we think Fashion, our mind automatically relates it to dresses, beautiful women, plump lips, shimmery eyes, gorgeous stilettos, and whatnot. However, Gen Y has broken this stereotype. While the fashion industry remains largely ruled by women, men too, are not far behind. The men’s fashion industry has been revolutionized by some crazy looks and style statements.
Here are top men’s fashion influencers whose fashion sense will inspire you to transform your look!
- Akshay Sharma
- Tejeshwar Sandhu
- Karron S Dhingrra
- Allen Claudius
- Usaamah Siddiqui
- Parakram SJB Rana
- Nikhil Kandhari
- Sandeep Rai
- Ranveer Allahbadia
- Jatinn Jay
So get on a the fashion ride-
1. Akshay Sharma
The one word that fits his style is ‘unique’. His fashion sense is fearless, and bold, and what many of us would consider ‘unconventional’. His offbeat experiments with formal as well as casual wear make him one of the best men’s fashion bloggers today. He has also experimented with makeup and innerwear in many of his looks, and nailed all of them!
One look at Akshay, and you can be sure that there is no look this man can’t pull off. If you are looking for out-of-the-box fashion tips and ideas, this is the guy you need to follow religiously!
However, his journey to being what he is today wasn’t easy. Akshay dealt with a bad breakup, body, and mental issues for a long time before he took the decision of working on himself and overcoming low self-esteem.
Now that’s a glow up we’re all hearts for!

2. Tejeshwar Sandhoo
Blueberry Blackout was born while Sandhoo was working on a project that required him to find a male fashion influencer, what surprised him was that there were not many. That is when his journey began.
Having been bullied for his sexuality from a young age, Sandhoo finally came out to his family when he was sixteen. His greatest support has been his sister, who was always there for him, and he often talks about her fondly.
He started Blueberry Blackout with the aim of telling people that average looking men can also embrace fashion.
(Calling himself average looking, boy, isn’t that too modest!) Being a vocal member of the LGBTQ community, Sandhoo took fashion as his weapon for rebellion, and believes that fashion and sexuality are two sides of the same coin. He was also nominated for the Cosmopolitan Blogger Awards in 2018.

3. Karron S Dhingrra
Who would have thought that a corporate lawyer would become a top men’s fashion influencer? Well, that’s Karron for you!
He went from being a corporate lawyer to a full-time professional fashion and lifestyle influencer. Having 242k followers on Instagram, Karron stands as one of the most followed male fashion influencers of India, and often guides his young audience on the kind of fashion that they can opt for to give an edge to their personality.
His major focus area is formal wear and he also gives out tips about budget grooming hacks and the latest fashion trends. He defies the fact that grooming is only for females, and believes that ‘when you look good, you feel good!’ He was awarded the ‘Leading Fashion Influencer’ award in 2019 for his work in the field of fashion.

4. Allen Claudius
Before finding his true calling in being a fashion influencer, Allen spent 9 years in the corporate world. What moved him to start something for himself was his flair for writing, and the fact that he got ghosted by a UK publication. After this, he decided that he would create content for himself, by himself.
Bowties and Bones, his Instagram handle is a dedication to his dog, Scratch. When you go through his (amazing) feed, you will find that the one thing that’s constant is reality- he makes fashion look something you and I can do with ease!
He aims at only showcasing products that he would himself buy in real life, and that’s what keeps the relevancy of his content high. Quite contrary to the tough-bad-boy image of his images,
Allen says that ‘fashion’ for him is a concept that developed when his mom made sure that he and his brother were always well-dressed!
Allen is a huge sneakerhead and has 50 pairs of sneakers ranging from the latest Kendrick Lamars to Yeezys. However, he maintains 50 pairs at all times and he donates some if the number goes beyond that.

7. Nikhil Kandhari
His interest in fashion developed during college days, where he participated in various fashion shows for college festivals and even won some awards.

He usually takes pictures from his personal iPhone, though he also often partnered with Mohit Varu. His fan following on Instagram is crazy, and he has also given interviews for various fashion magazines and blogs.

8. Sandeep Rai
Another hot-shot lawyer on the list, Sandeep started ‘Basicallymenz’ in 2018. His interest in sartorial and vintage fashion and passion for production led to his success.
He does various brand collaborations, but is a one man army. Sandeep plans all of his shoots on his own and even taught himself some editing softwares to help him edit his pictures better. In an interview with a popular online platform, Sandeep revealed that the need to plan his shoots and collaborations come from the fact that he is a little bit of a control freak!
The distinguishing factor of his feed is that Sandeep truly believes in authenticity. He does not endorse any brands or do any shoots that he does not think sync with who he is as a person. He looks for the scope of creativity in every brief he receives, and that truly reflects from his posts!

9. Ranveer Allahbadia
An entrepreneur, youth icon, fitness expert, Youtube star and a fashion icon! Is there really anything that’s missing about this guy?
Ranveer defies the myth that a guy’s wardrobe is limited to jeans and t-shirts. He believes in trying out different styles till you figure out what works best for your personality, and then you start little experiments with that as well. This is also the mantra that he uses to create content.
He is seen donning versatile outfits, and usually swings between sharp and formal to leisure wear. Initially, he planned to start a Youtube channel to document his personal journey of fitness, but with the kind of positive attention he got, he decided to explore Instagram as well.
He is often seen in kurtas and sherwani (and boy, does he make us drool!) He is the co-founder of Monk Entertainments, a 360° creative media organization that works in multiple verticals like social media management, digital talent management, etc. He has collaborated with many international artists as well.
