And Now, 17 New Poses to Try on Instagram
We'll admit it: We're always looking for ways to up our Instagram game. We've cracked the code to making a viral fashion Instagram and have even started shopping certain trends just so we can post about them. But as far as what it takes to make sure our own personal feeds are thriving, it doesn't always have to mean investing in one of this season's It bags. Sometimes all it takes it testing out a fun new pose when shooting your next #ootd post.
Thanks to our wildly creative readers, we're super inspired to shoot our outfit posts in a whole new way. From the power squat to the perfect candid moment (even if it was anything but candid), see each of the creative outfit posts that you, our community, shared on Instagram using #WhoWhatWearing. Want to be featured next time? Use the hashtag on your outfit posts so we can see them.
Give your sneaker outfits some major street cred by popping a squat and looking up at the camera.
Push your sunglasses down the bridge of your nose and give your best "judging you" look over them.
Gone are the days of the subtle smize. Let out your biggest laughing smile—the toothier the better.
Here's how to shield your eyes from harsh rays and look cool doing it.
For when you just need to take a quick little break.
We don't quite know why this one looks cool, but it just does.
Give off equally as cool street vibes as the classic squat when standing by propping one leg up on an elevated surface. Lean over your bent knee and let the world know how good you look.
Prop your legs up on a bench and give your best statuesque pose.
When we tell you to "whip your hair back and forth," we hope you also sing the Willow Smith song in your head while doing it.
We're not even sorry about posing next to strangers' cool vintage cars because we know it always makes an Insta-worthy moment.
The trick to nailing this one is finding a low curb and bending your knees at slightly different angles to create a super-casual effect.
This one takes a bit of practice to get just right, but once you do, it's the perfect way to showcase your whole 'fit.
Just like the classic squat, this pose gives off an aura of cool. Get even more creative with your squat poses—rest your chin in your hand and your elbow on your knee for extra-casual vibes.
Step 1: Find an aesthetically pleasing coffee shop. Step 2: Take a "candid" shot while sipping your latte or staring out pensively into the abyss.
You can sit or stand to nail this one. Tilt your head a bit to one side, slightly pushing your chin out for a subtle amount of attitude.
Try this one next time you want to show off your pretty new handbag.
Take this one from a lower angle to take it up a notch.
Our cool readers are also teaching us a thing or two about wearing Gen-Z yellow IRL.
