These are the top 10 brands on Instagram 2018

Instagram is 'the' go-to place for wardrobe inspiration.

The social media platform has not only been behind numerous style trends - thanks to fashion influencers and the odd Kardashian - but it has also been the birth place of numerous (now) famous fashion brands.

Staud, Reformation and Realisation Par are just a few of the recognisable names that have hit the mainstream thanks to Instagram, in so much as it's safe to say, they are now fashion hits both on the Internet and in real life.

Wondering which has the most clout of 2018? Lyst's latest report tells all - and the results are really quite surprising.

1. Veja

Known for: The coolest kicks on the fashion circuit for quite some time now. However, when Meghan Markle sported the sustainable shoe at the Invictus Games in 2018 it gave the brand worldwide exposure.

In view of which, social search has increased by 113 per cent year on year, and Veja are now undoubtedly a style staple.
