Style Files: Who To Follow On Insta

Craig Landale is the founder and editor-in-chief of the multi-award-winning Menswear Style, a blog which does just as it says on the tin, does it daily, and pulls it all off with lashings of the appropriate flair. Though driven by the sartorial, the blog also covers travel, fitness, food and drink and, well, just about everything that the style-inclined gent might wish to keep abreast of.

So impressed were we that at the 2019 GWG Awards (remember when we used to be able to hold events?), Menswear Style was garlanded as the best lifestyle blog of the year – an accolade that joined the chorus of praise it has been met with since its launch in 2012. Since those nascent days, Craig has been named in Shortlist’s ‘Chosen Few’ more than once; published a book called ABC of Man; and collaborated with stellar brands from Mulberry and Harrods to Jaguar.

Here, he shares with us his top Insta follows, from street style to start-ups.

@Couriermedia. It’s my favourite magazine and is all about modern business. I often come across new start-ups in the men's fashion industry when reading it.



@father_of_daughters. Following Simon reminds me to have fun and to not take myself too seriously when parenting.




@garconstyle. Jonathan Daniel Pryce is a superb street style photographer, and his work gives me plenty of inspiration.




@thedolelectures. I always strive to keep learning and would love attend one of the weekend retreats.




@themodernhouse. An estate agent for houses that I adore. I cannot afford any of them, but I can dream.




@thehappyyear. Two brothers who have adopted a healthy lifestyle. Their way of life and diet inspires me to do the same.




@thingtesting. This account is focused on direct-to-consumer start-up brands, giving honest and unbiased reviews after testing first-hand.




@loveland_farm. Once my kids are a little older, this glamping site will be at the top of my staycation holiday list.




@thebodycoach. Joe is very motivational in health and fitness. When I need to get up and moving, I will watch some of his Stories.
