Since the beginning of the 21st century, rapidly developing digital technologies have radically changed individuals' daily life habits and social interaction styles. One of the areas where these changes are most clearly felt is social media platforms. Social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Tik Tok have reached a large number of users and created a global interaction network. The widespread use of social media, especially among the younger generations, has led to these platforms being no longer just a means of communication but having a significant impact on lifestyle and consumption habits. University students constitute one of the most active user groups of social media platforms. This study aims to examine the impact of social media influencers on university students' fashion shopping behaviors. In this context, data was collected via a survey to determine the extent to which social media influencers affect university students' fashion preferences and purchasing behaviors. In the study, SPSS analysis program was used to analyze the data collected from 300 associate and undergraduate students at Sakarya University of Applied Sciences. Percentage and frequency calculations from descriptive statistics methods were used in the analysis of the data. The results obtained showed that social media influencers have a significant impact on university students and that the majority of students are influenced by the fashion content shared by social media influencers in their fashion clothing preferences. However, it was observed that the students participating in the study did not have a negative effect on their emotional state due to not being able to own fashion products that are popular on social media. The study provides important findings in terms of better understanding the effects of social media influencers on fashion shopping behaviors and contributing to marketing strategies in this area.

21. yüzyılın başlarından itibaren hızla gelişen dijital teknolojiler, bireylerin günlük yaşam alışkanlıklarını ve sosyal etkileşim biçimlerini köklü bir şekilde değiştirmiştir. Bu değişimlerin en belirgin şekilde hissedildiği alanlardan biri de sosyal medya platformlarıdır. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tik Tok gibi sosyal medya platformları çok sayıda kullanıcıya ulaşarak küresel bir etkileşim ağı oluşturmuştur. Özellikle genç nesiller arasında sosyal medyanın kullanımının yaygınlaşması, bu platformların sadece birer iletişim aracı olmaktan çıkıp, yaşam tarzı ve tüketim alışkanlıkları üzerinde önemli bir etkiye sahip olmasına yol açmıştır. Üniversite öğrencileri, sosyal medya platformlarının en aktif kullanıcı gruplarından birini oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışma, sosyal medya etkileyicilerinin, üniversite öğrencilerinin moda alışveriş davranışlarına olan etkisini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu bağlamda, üniversite öğrencilerinin moda tercihlerini ve satın alma davranışlarını sosyal medya etkileyicilerinin ne ölçüde etkilediğini belirlemek için veriler anket ile toplanmıştır. Çalışmada, Sakarya Uygulamalı Bilimler Üniversitesi ön lisans ve lisans düzeyi 300 öğrenciden toplanan verilerin analizinde SPSS analiz programı kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde betimsel istatistik yöntemlerinden yüzde ve frekans hesaplamaları kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar, sosyal medya etkileyicilerinin üniversite öğrencileri üzerinde önemli bir etkiye sahip olduğunu ve öğrencilerin büyük çoğunluğunun moda giyim tercihlerinde sosyal medya etkileyicilerinin paylaştıkları moda içeriklerden etkilendiğini göstermiştir. Bununla birlikte, araştırmaya katılan öğrencilerin sosyal medyada popüler olan moda ürünlerine sahip olamamalarının duygusal durumlarını olumsuz etkilemediği görülmüştür. Çalışma, sosyal medya etkileyicilerinin moda alışveriş davranışları üzerindeki etkilerini daha iyi anlamak ve bu alandaki pazarlama stratejilerine katkı sağlamak açısından önemli bulgular sunmaktadır.
