10. @Iconaccidental - 748k Followers on Instagram
At 67 years old, Lyn Slater is a surprisingly insightful icon whose status as a fashion influencer occurred purely by accident.

Known mostly as Accidental Icon, Lyn Slater started her illustrious fashion career as a side-gig to being a college professor at Fordham University. However, fashion has seemingly become an utmost priority for Slater since she's recently retired from teaching and gone full-throttle promoting her stylistic endeavors. She promotes her brand toward fashionable, middle-aged women who live "interesting but ordinary lives...and [are] comfortable with who they are." Lyn is undoubtedly worthy of acclaim alongside the likes of Anna Wintour and Iris Apfel. Explore Lyn's page here.

Opinions and Perspectives
Can't believe how much fashion has changed since these influencers started
Love how Gabifresh promotes body positivity without making it feel forced
The way Yolanda styles Doc Martens convinced me to finally buy a pair
Irene Kim's hair evolution alone is worth following her for. Such amazing color choices
Anyone else impressed by how many of these influencers created their own brands?
Asiyami's travel fashion content makes me want to completely revamp my vacation wardrobe
I've tried so many of Carolina's DIY projects. Some worked great, others were total disasters
Bryanboy's honest reviews are refreshing but sometimes feel a bit mean spirited
The IconiCakes sisters make fashion fun! Love how they incorporate pop culture
You'd be surprised. Many of them mix high end with affordable pieces really well
These influencers must spend fortunes on clothes. Not very relatable for most people
Still can't believe Lyn Slater started her fashion career as a professor. Goes to show it's never too late
Yuyan's posing tips really helped improve my Instagram game. Who knew angles made such a difference
The way Carlotta mixes patterns should be illegal. But somehow she makes it work every time
I learned so much about color theory from following Keara. Never realized how important it is in fashion
That's missing the point! It's meant to be fun and inspire creativity in everyday outfits
Does anyone actually dress up for those specific scenarios Andie posts about? So unrealistic
Personally I prefer when they stick to fashion. Too many try to be everything to everyone
Anyone else notice how many of them are branching into beauty and lifestyle content too?
That's why I love Siena's account. She shows you can be stylish with secondhand clothes
Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by all the fashion advice. Like I need to buy everything new to look good
The pandemic really changed how we consume fashion content. These influencers adapted so well
I appreciate how Lyn Slater focuses on sophisticated style for older women. Not everyone wants to dress like they're 20
Watching Gabifresh's growth over the years has been amazing. She really changed the game for plus size fashion
These influencers make it look so easy but putting together cohesive outfits is harder than it seems
Start small! I began with accessories in different colors and built up from there
Been trying to recreate some of Keara's rainbow looks but my wardrobe isn't nearly colorful enough
The way Andie creates outfits for imaginary scenarios cracks me up. Her creativity is unmatched
Love seeing the mix of Instagram and TikTok influencers. Each platform brings something unique to fashion content
I'm impressed by how Yolanda makes fashion accessible for different body types. Her small chest styling tips are super helpful
You should check out Siena's account then. She finds similar styles at thrift stores for fraction of the price
Carlotta's geometric patterns are stunning but way out of my price range. Wish there were more affordable options
The IconiCakes sisters are so creative! Their tutorials helped me nail my Halloween costume last year
Irene Kim's journey from model to brand owner is fascinating. Her Good For You line is absolutely gorgeous
Anyone else think some of these follower counts seem inflated? I've seen better content from smaller accounts
Totally agree about the sustainability angle. Plus her upcycling ideas are genius for updating old clothes
The thrift shopping content from Siena is exactly what we need right now. Fast fashion is so damaging to the environment
Yuyan's platform Converse styling tips changed my shoe game completely. Never knew how versatile they could be
I find it interesting how many of these influencers started as something else entirely before fashion
Asiyami Gold's photography skills are incredible. The way she captures fashion in different locations around the world is art
Thanks! Would love some advice. My attempts have been pretty tragic so far
Let me know if you want tips! I've done several of Carolina's DIY tutorials successfully. The key is using the right type of shirt
Anyone tried Carolina's shirt-to-skirt transformation? I attempted it but mine didn't turn out nearly as cute as hers
Lyn Slater is such an inspiration! Shows that style has no age limit. Her outfits are always so sophisticated
Actually I appreciate Bryanboy's honesty. We need more authentic voices in fashion who aren't just trying to sell us everything
Not sure about Bryanboy. His comments can be pretty harsh sometimes. I prefer influencers who stay positive
Keara's color coordination skills are amazing. I tried her monochrome outfit tips and got so many compliments at work
I love how diverse these influencers are! Been following Gabifresh for years and her body positivity message is so refreshing
