At Who What Wear, we have a thing for nostalgia, especially when it comes to fashion throughout the decades. So, if the mere mention of flip phones, tiny sunglasses, and baby tees make you long for yesteryear, you've come to the right place.
As any good social media maven knows, curation is key. With that in mind, we've chronicled a few of our favorite Instagram accounts that celebrate style from eras gone by into a carefully crafted list for your scrolling pleasure. Whether you're a '90s kid, retro renegade, or vintage-loving vanguard, we're sure you'll find a new favorite account to follow.

Drew Elovitz is originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but has spent the last decade living and working in New York City. She earned a master's degree in media and popular culture from New York University, then began her career on the internet as the Twitter voice of Barbie. She worked previously at Who What Wear as the director of content strategy and also spent several years leading the social media teams at Teen Vogue and Entertainment Weekly. You'll find her byline on the site around topics such as celebrity fashion, must-have basics, beauty favorites (particularly nail polish), and wellness tips and tricks. Her personal style tends to favor the classics: She loves crisp white button-downs, sneakers, and skinny jeans—and no look is complete without a great pair of oversize sunglasses and a trusty leather jacket. After she finishes reading the entire internet every day, she can be found dining out at her favorite restaurants, trying new beauty treatments, or indulging her historical-fiction habit.
