If you’re constantly on the lookout for new style inspo, but everything’s starting to feel repetitive thanks to the same recycled outfit formulas flooding your feed, you’re not alone.
While safe and polished isn’t necessarily a bad thing, Yewande Biala steps completely out of that box. She takes those familiar basics and transforms them through clever layering and thoughtful styling, curating looks that challenge the idea of what “effortless” really means.
She leans into bold textures and silhouettes, along with colour palettes that add that little something extra to your look.

Low crotch jeans are my krptonite 🫦
We first met Yewande Biala back in 2019, when she graced our screens on Love Island as one of the realest, most emotionally grounded girls in the villa. Sure, she’s absolutely stunning. And yes, she has a first-class degree in Biotechnology.
But what really made us fall in love with her was her energy, unapologetically honest, confident, and uninterested in playing the reality TV game for the sake of drama. And now, she’s that same girl with an even more iconic wardrobe.
Bored of Basics?
Yewande’s TikTok presence is calm but impactful. What stands out most is her ability to make bold pieces feel that little bit more approachable. She curates looks that you’d never think to pair together, but the moment you see them, you’re obsessed. Maybe you’ve been stuck in a neutral palette funk, or maybe you’re hesitant to try a loud colour or new texture.
Scrolling through Yewande’s Instagram and TikTok feels like getting fashion advice from a cool older sister, the one who forces you out of your comfort zone.

What We Can Learn from Her Wardrobe
Yewande’s wardrobe teaches us that true style lies in the details, and in the confidence to truly own it. She doesn’t shy away from what she calls “men repellent outfits” which honestly, feels like the ultimate fashion goal. Her feed is full of rich jewel tones, deep oranges, and blues that pop beautifully against her skin.
Her understanding of fit is just as impressive. She’s a fan of oversized silhouettes, baggy-fit jeans and jackets (she swears by shopping in the men’s section), and long, flowy skirts that have practically become her signature. In fact, layering skirts over unexpected pieces is a look she pulls off effortlessly, and one that’s quickly becoming iconic.
Even her most relaxed outfits are elevated through smart tailoring; a cinched waist here, a sharp-shouldered jacket there, she proves that structure is what ties everything together. And then there’s her love for accessories, which add yet another dimension to her already artful layering. Every piece feels intentional.

Cool-Girl Aesthetic, Without the Pretence
Yewande is not chasing viral trends or bending herself to fit every passing aesthetic, and that’s why we love her. Instead, she leans into pieces that feel intentional and right for her. She’s redefining what it means to dress well, not by following the crowd, but by owning her space with fearless creativity which is something we should all take out of her book.
If you’re ready to step outside the basics and embrace some unique pieces, Yewande is absolutely the girl to watch.
