Five Fashion Inspirations From Asake's Music Video

When Ahmed ‘Asake’ Ololade hit the limelight in early 2022, his confidence and musical prowess made him stand out. The artsite who typically gravitates towards unconventional pieces with his street style has dominated conversations on the internet with his style in the past few months.

The fast-rising music star who is not only known for being a hitmaker but also being fashion forward has broken the internet on multiple occasions with his outfit choices. Since hitting the limelight in January 2022, he has proven that he does not follow trends, but makes them.

Here are five looks from Asake’s music videos that can inspire you to reshuffle your wardrobe.

Stacked Trousers

With streetwear fashion being the rave among young adults, stacked jeans have become a statement piece. These trousers are usually bunched up with more fabric from the knees downwards.

In the video for Sungba Remix featuring Burna Boy, Asake paired stacked jeans that looked like the Devil’s Love Stacked Leather trousers with a black bomber jacket and the Givenchy Show Mallow Low-Top Shoes, which cost about ₦207,000.

Baggy Suits

Suits have always been timeless pieces. Asake makes them more trendy in the video for his hit single ‘Terminator.’ He pairs his mint green suit with a Balenciaga Hardcrocs Sandal worth $950. To complete the look, he had on a stud and his signature bold glasses, but this time in black.

This is not the only time the rising star has bodied a suit. In Fireboy DML’s video for his single ‘Bandana,’ Asake also rocked a baggy white suit with a mustard yellow shirt.

British Sweaters

British sweaters might not be the coolest clothing items, but they can be depending on who is wearing them and what they are wearing them with. In Peace Be Unto You’s video, Asake slays in the sweater with a white collared undershirt, tan pants, and the Bottega Veneta Rubber Chelsea Boots that cost about $650.

Traditional Attires

Traditional pieces, especially a pair of white Kaftans, can never go out of style. Asake, styled in a tailored traditional fit made by Look Different Marque, wore a chunky white mule from Kiing Daviids to modernise his look for a scene in his video to his hit single ‘Terminator’.

Fashion consultant Swazzi styled the musician in the all-white outfit accessorised with traditional red beads and studs.

Baggy Jeans

Aside from his clever indigenous lyrics and flow, Asake made a fashion statement in the video for DJ Spinall’s ‘Palazzo’, a song he features in.

The rising star seems to gravitate towards long-sleeved body hug tops on baggy jeans. A style he explores in Palazzo’s video. He wore a graphic body hug top, baggy blue jeans, dark shades with red lenses, and his signature earring studs.
