Oh, Instagram. A bottomless well of inspiration. The categories are multiple, their respective players are all better than the next. Are you getting an Insta-headache from all the options of beautiful accounts at your fingertips? Hit the refresh button with the must-follow feeds I've identified.
The pleasure is all yours (and maybe a tad mine, too).
We've all been sucked in by the Instagram vortex. I happen to do it as my job, therefore the hours I spend on the daily scrolling through the photo-sharing app are completely justified. But for those of you whose livelihood does not depend on your Instagram savviness, it can be a real counter-productive wormhole. The struggle is indeed real.
Start humming hallelujah, because here I am again to save you some precious clock ticks with my aptly named 'Who to Follow on Instagram' series. A look into who to follow for inspiration from the best UK brands to the best men's style influencers. The category explored for this installment: almighty denim.
Denim brands have an unfair advantage - everybody loves jeans. But it's so much more complex than it appears. How does a denim brand position itself to stand out in the Instagram marketing landscape? What makes a label's content better than the other? Most of the time, these answers reside in the intangible: it's all about the feelings induced by visual storytelling.
If you still haven't found the top jeans brands that do it for you, we got down and not-so-dirty to suss out the jeans companies that are crushing it on Instagram. It's amazing how a well-crafted narrative can prove to be the most paramount point of differentiation.
What will come between you and one of the labels below? Nothing, hopefully. Let's get to it!
Top Jeans on Instagram
@mihjeans
This British premium denim brand has a very artsy approach to Instagram, publishing thoughtful, compelling content that speaks to their customers.
@jbrandjeans
On top of creating really killer original content, J Brand rounds out their gallery with some seriously stellar UGC. Their Instagram account is this awesome balance of aspirational, inspirational and accessible.
@agjeans
The LA-based brand's account basically makes you long to be an AG girl thanks to the great lifestyle content mix that sucks you right in.
@shopredone
In short, this is the cool chick jean brand that every stylish alterna-girl is obsessed with. And fair enough - their claim to fame is repurposing vintage Levi's. Mic drop.
@currentelliott
This Cali cult favorite does a stellar job at bringing their audience into their brand world and all that it represents.
@frame
The Frame account just makes you want to be the Frame femme, period. Natural, subtle, understated, stylish without being trendy. Oh, and cool as hell.
@citizensofhumanity
The team over at Citizens of Humanity flawlessly straddles that line between lifestyle and product in order to take their followers on a successful brand journey, and then some.
@r13
Talk about a distinct point of view! This high end indie denim brand has an insanely sharp, high fashion approach that defies the obvious. This is denim for the discerning.
@motherdenim
For the rad girl who enjoys both refinement and whimsy.
@oneteaspoon_
The brand that exploded onto the scene a few seasons ago that basically revived and redefined the whole distressed boyfriend jean trend is thriving, bringing that very specific Australian flair to closets around the world. Their Insta is inspo galore.
@gstarraw
The G-Star account is ripe with creativity and telegraphs perfectly their factory concept. Could it be the Pharrell effect?
@levis
It wouldn't be a best of denim list without jean queen Levi's. Every brand named above basically owes their business to the OG company.'Nuff said.
*BONUS! @jeanstories
