If you’re like me, you probably spend too much amount of time on Instagram, Tumblr, Vine, etc. While it’s most likely true that less time can be spent looking at shameless selfies, puppy photos, and pictures of food, I’ve found that apps like Instagram can be a great resource to learn more what’s going on in the denim world.
Many brands are already very active in posting updates and announcements but there is also a very active movement where people are posting their own photos that shows off their denim collection and provides an idea of how certain brands fit and wear in over time.
Without further adieu, here are 11 accounts on Instagram that we’ve found and follow. Of course there are probably plenty more accounts that we’re not aware so give a shout out to any one we may have missed in the comments below.
While you’re at it too, don’t forget to follow us via @RawrDenim!
