Though it sounds silly, social media platform-TikTok has taught and inspired me so much since I downloaded the app in quarantine. I’ve learned more about the environment, watched people around the world help others, and tried new trades. Never, however, have I come across such a remarkable content creator as Wisdom Kaye.
Just 19, Kaye has inspired countless individuals by sharing his love for styling and has thus altered the way mens clothing is perceived. His tiktok videos show his creative experimentation with clothing, plucking inspiration from fan-fiction characters to using songs as inspiration for outfits. In doing this, Kayes goal is to make mens fashion more exciting- he says “Men’s fashion is slowly changing and becoming more expressive. But when I say slowly, I mean the same speed of earth’s tectonic plates. I have seen an incredible push from young people for men to be more expressive in their style, and that is very exciting. Personally, I’m tired of looking up men’s fashion inspo online and every guy is wearing black, gray, and brown. It’s rather banal.” Though his outfits may seem wacky, his actions have helped to combat against the
societal boundaries that keep men from experimenting with their fashion.
As he pulls pieces from his closet that I would never think to pair I watch as he creates a masterpiece. At such a young age, Wisdom Kaye has already grasped the attention of millions of other fashion lovers and designers. His success will continue to grow and inspire others to experiment and express themselves through their clothing.
