Racked is no longer publishing. Thank you to everyone who read our work over the years. The archives will remain available here; for new stories, head over to Vox.com, where our staff is covering consumer culture for The Goods by Vox. You can also see what we’re up to by signing up here.
The dog days of summer are here and the time between repeats of your "good" outfits is getting shorter and shorter. Jackets, ankle boots, and the notion of layering — layering! — are still far in the distance, and you're in desperate need of some new ideas for getting dressed. Luckily, inspiration is as close as your Instagram feed — so long as you're following the right people. We've cued up fifteen of our favorite under-the-radar style stars from around the world, perfect for breaking you out of your summer style rut.
@thatschic
@thatschic: Rachel is a blogger well-known for her taste in playful, fun clothes and accessories. Her IG is full of summer fun and easy, but interesting, outfits.
@alealimay
@alealimay: After stints at Louis Vuitton and RSVP Gallery, Aleali struck out on her own. Her Instagram is a visual diary of her adventures as a stylist/blogger/model.
@princessnokia

@ponytailjournal
@ponytailjournal: If you're looking for a fashionable friend with a love of travel and good meals, Lauren Yates is your girl, capturing her adventures with panache.
@amy_sall
@amy_sall: We love how Amy mixes bright African prints into minimalist outfits, but it's her commentary on art, society, and culture that truly sets her apart from the crowd.
@trustmedaddy
@trustmedaddy: You probably recognize Sanam from Rihanna’s "Bitch Better Have My Money" video. One look at her feed and it's obvious why her unique style got her the gig.
@ngoldenberg
@ngoldenberg: As a full-time mom, this designer and stylist shares candid snaps of her life that feel refreshingly real. Natasha's colorful photos often feature her adorable daughter.
@cyndiramirez

@nadiaaboulhosn
@nadiaaboulhosn: Nadia is a blogger, model, and (most importantly) living proof that you can pull off any look if you have the confidence and personality.
@indiaroseco
@indiaroseco: Look to India’s perfectly composed feed for minimalist inspiration in white, black, and grey.
@odegrate
@odergate: If ever you're in need of a selfie tutorial, consult this stylish model's feed.

@emilyelaineoberg
@emilyelaineoberg: From her gig as an editorial producer at Complex to launching her own lifestyle brand, we wonder how Emily Oberg even has time to think about Instagram. With her laid-back style, positive attitude, and impressive sneaker collection, we're glad she does.
