A Suit Tailoring Brand with 500k Instagram Followers?
So there I was, scrolling through Instagram Reels, when I stumbled upon this video that caught my eye. It featured a sharply dressed man passionately arguing against men wearing white socks—declaring it a total style faux pas that could supposedly "destroy manliness." A bit dramatic, sure, but you can't help but think this guy must know a thing or two about men's fashion.
This wasn't just any style rant. It came from a brand called Ask Okey, which isn't your typical high-end fashion house like Louis Vuitton or Gucci, yet they're absolutely smashing it on social media. With nearly half a million followers and their reels racking up thousands of views, they've carved out a niche for themselves. What's remarkable is how they've achieved this. Instead of the usual glamorous photoshoots and model-centric posts that flood our feeds from most fashion brands, Ask Okey is doing something different. They're just a couple of guys, talking straight to the camera, sharing style tips and fashion advice.
It's refreshing to see a brand break the mold and still succeed spectacularly. Ask Okey proves that sometimes, all you need is to keep it simple and speak directly to your audience. They're not just selling clothes; they're making style accessible and engaging, one reel at a time.
