New York may be known as the fashion capital of the world [1] and Paris may be a city full of ladies [2] with a knack for mastering polished yet effortless looks. But just wait until you see the outfits they're wearing in Israel.
The country's giving the It girls in the US a run for their money, and the bloggers who live there have Instagram feeds that'll blow you away. Many of the up-and-coming writers, market directors, and stylists we rounded up hail from Tel Aviv, a metropolitan area filled with power women on the go. Some of them boast modest, colorful wardrobes [3] that prove you don't have to be sexy to turn heads, while others are casually on trend in low-top sneakers [4] and denim jumpsuits.
Read on for the 16 Israeli bloggers you'd be crazy not to follow [5], and you'll be double tapping a bunch more #OOTDs on the regular — as if you needed proof that there are stylish ladies all over the world [6].
