Here are some of our personal picks for male fashion influencers who are a must-follow in 2020.

Mariano Di Vaio is a Los Angeles-based fashion blogger and actor, who has collaborated with Hugo Boss, Gucci, and Tommy Hilfiger. Known for his elevated take on classic menswear, Di Vaio isn’t afraid to experiment with bold prints. A highlight of this is a D&G metallic brocade suit with a traditional menswear cut, which he wore to accept ‘Man of the Year’ at GQ Middle East’s annual awards. A seasoned traveller, Di Vaio seems to have an outfit for any setting. You’re just as likely to see him sporting rugged outerwear as you are in classic beachwear – with a toned physique that will leave many asking after his workout regimen. His website is dedicated to ‘men’s passions’ from fashion to culture, sport, and his many entrepreneurial ventures.

At the age of 22, Luka Sabatt has already built up an impressive resume. As well as being a model and influencer for Evian and Calvin Klein, Sabatt is a self-styled ‘creative entrepreneur’ having worked as a producer, designer, and stylist. His brand represents an aloof, millennial coolness with a dash of androgyny, along with the likes of Jaden Smith. Describing himself as one of New York’s first young online fashion influencers, Sabatt has won the admiration of Kanye West and Chloe Sevigny. Like with most influencers, Sabatt brings an effortless quality to his style. He appears just as comfortable and on-brand in graphic, avant-garde streetwear as he is in a three-piece suit for American Vogue.

A fashion blogger who recently ventured into the design, Adam Gallagher’s style typifies the modern-day renaissance man: impeccably styled and adventurous with an outfit for every occasion. A recent interview notes James Dean, Marlon Brando, and Andy Warhol as style icons. His outfits all appear effortless, even his use of patterns is sharp with an understated chic.
Born in California and currently residing in New York, Gallagher brings an easy-going nature to classic, elegant tailoring. Therefore, he never appears to be ‘too’ dressed up. You can also tell that Gallagher knows the importance of styling and composition – even shots were taken in a ‘candid’ style look like an editorial spread.

Beginning his career as a fashion and fitness model, Hamann has been featured in Men’s Health, GQ, and Esquire to name a few. His tattooed physique and rugged looks break the mould of the usual tailored and ‘polished’ male fashion influencer. Hamann was even featured on Germany’s Next Top Model, searching for talent for his jewellery brand Haze and Glory. Hamann’s premium brand encapsulates his style: bold and timeless statement pieces with a modern edge. An entrepreneur with classic tastes and a rebellious spirit, Hamann is a typical influencer for the modern man.
