5 footballer Instagram accounts that you should follow for fashion inspiration

Yeah, yeah... I know the World Cup is going on and it is no time to talk about fashion. But man, with a lot going on in Russia I am having a tough time keeping my feelings down. I can feel my adrenaline flowing while watching each game.

So I decided to distract myself from all the action, but then I realized that I exactly don't have any other interest than football to distract myself with. However, somewhere down there I have a tiny weeny bit of interest for fashion (Although I dress like a bum).

And when some of those footballers that we love drop some dope pictures on their Instagram accounts, I tend to turn into those teenage girls who drool over Zayn Malik.

If you are like me, having a tough time with all the unpredictable action that is going on in the World Cup and having little interest in fashion (or for whatever reason you clicked on this article), here are five footballers Instagram accounts that you should follow for fashion inspiration:

#5 Loris Karius

Whether Loris Karius is a top-class goalkeeper or not is debatable, but what is not up for debate is that he knows more than a thing or two about dressing well. Apart from the random pictures of him in a Liverpool kit, the German often uploads images of him in some classy attire on Instagram and if you are a fashion geek you must follow Karius.

From the ritzy black leather jacket to the old skool vans to the basic crew neck tees. Karius knows to rock 'em all. The 25-year-old usually sticks to the basics and evergreen clothing. All the items mentioned above are those that should be in any man's wardrobe.

In terms of colour, the former Mainz player prefers black. Most of the times, there will be some essence of black in his dressing. Sometimes, Karius even goes for a black monotone look.

If you are a guy in his twenties, the German's style is the right for you. However if you are not really into streetwear or casual wear and you prefer more of a formal look, the next account is the recommended one for you.

#4 Marco Reus

While a good amount of the young footballers today are hypebeasts, who tend to go for the most recent fashion trends like Gucci, Supreme, etc. Borussia Dortmund's Marco Reus is a bit different. Judging from his Instagram account, the German is a man of formal wear or smart casuals.

A neat hairstyle and a perfectly fitting formal shirt are the trademarks of the 29-year-old. For the lower wear, he can be seen sporting jeans, chinos and even slack. And he knows exactly how to style all the three. However, just because he usually dresses formal it doesn't mean he always dresses so. The Borussia Dortmund attacker also has a nice collection of casual/streetwear in which he looks just as good.

Also, Reus is a man who dresses to the occasion - a skill that many men lack. There are guys who overdress for a certain function and there are guys who dress like bums even for job interviews. If you come under any of those two categories, you need to take some lessons from this German here.

#3 Paul Pogba

Let's go back to street style now. Remember the hypebeast footballers we talked about in the last slide? Paul Pogba is one of them. In the picture above, you can see the Manchester United player wearing a Supreme x Lous Vuitton Jacquard Baseball Jersey that would cost a common man more than just an arm and a leg.

The 25-year-old is a big fan of colours that stand out like Red and Yellow. He is more into a funky kind of street style. Basketball jerseys, bandannas, bright hoodies, etc. You get me right? And there are a lot of youngsters who dig it.

The French international even collaborated with major sporting wear brand Adidas to launch his own set of clothing called the Paul Pogba Collection.

And we cannot avoid talking about his hair. Can we? The former Juventus player's taste can be easily seen in the hairstyles that he sports from time to time.

#2 Cristiano Ronaldo

Well he might not be as big a fashion icon as he is a footballer, but there is no denying that he is one of the most stylish sportsmen in the world. Cristiano Ronaldo has been looked up to as fashion inspiration by men for years now and he still continues to be like that.

Whether it be formals or casual, the 5 time Ballon d'Or winner will nail it. He is the boss even in the innerwear game. Isn't he?

The 33-year-old has a brand of his own that drops stylish clothing and innerwear of his taste for anyone to buy. And without any surprises, he himself models for the brand.

Ronaldo has also been a trendsetter when considering hairstyles. The former Manchester United player is known for inspiring men around the world with his hairstyle.

Another one important feature about Ronaldo being a fashion icon is how he carries himself. His health, body, and most importantly attitude are top notch; and these three are often the most overlooked factors by men.

#1 David Beckham

Yes, he is retired. He is 43. But David Robert Joseph Beckham is too good a fashion icon to exclude him from this list. Even during his footballing career, the Englishman was a trendsetter. Now, his hair is grey and is skin is wrinkled but still is more stylish and handsome than most men out there.

It is not quite often you hear about children going to their dads for fashion advice. But in the Beckham family, it is a habit. Brooklyn, Harper, Romeo and Cruz won't have to struggle much to impress the ladies as long as David Beckham is at their aid.

Everyone knows about the former Manchester United man's style sense and we need not talk about it. The hunk has got his own line of fragrances, grooming products and clothing.

Without a doubt, Beckham is a personality any man look up to for fashion and grooming inspiration.
