What Styles Are Trending on Social Media? 

Social media isn’t just a place to share pictures of plates of food or sunsets. It’s also a growing community where you can connect with other like-minded fans and creators. If your tweens and teens are all about the latest new Instagrammers and their favorite styles, it’s not hard to see why.

Instagram, Twitter, and Pinterest are all the best places to look for outfits that will really make them stand out, including a few of the following.

Jumpsuits

You can’t go wrong with a jumpsuit. They’re similar to dresses in that the top and bottom pieces are connected. But rather than having a skirt bottom, jumpsuits have pants on the bottom, which means much more comfort and range of motion, perfect for busy kids.

Jumpsuits aren’t just cute and comfortable. They’re versatile, too. You can dress jumpsuits up and down, layer them with sweaters and jackets, or change up the look depending on the shoes you pick. Don’t forget about accessories like jewelry and headbands. If your girls like dressing up but aren’t about the dresses, jumpsuits are a good alternative.

Athleisure

Athleisurewear is all over the social media scene. It is inspired by yoga and workout clothing.  Since then, it has taken on a life of its own, and it’s easy to understand why. While there are many different outfits and options to pick from when it comes to athleisure looks, they’re all extremely comfortable. You’ll stay warm and cozy in cute sweatpants and sweatshirts, and it’s easy to get around in a pair of your favorite sneakers.

You’ll find athleisurewear in lots of different colors and patterns, and you can adjust your look for the weather with ease. This social media staple is guaranteed to last.

Tie-Dye Sets

Social media is all about the throwback, and nothing says vintage like tie-dye. You can dress your tie-dye set up like the hippies of the 1960s and 1970s or go for a more recent look with ‘90s styles.

And if you can’t find the best colors for your wardrobe, it’s easy to make tie-dye outfits right at home. Find shirts, shorts, hoodies, and a whole lot more in your favorite colors and designs of tie-dye. These looks are guaranteed to stand out.

Upscale Loungewear

Can we say, “hashtag, comfy?” Modern loungewear is chic and elevated but still provides the same comfortable feel for any occasion. It’s available in a wide range of colors, from subtle neutrals to bright and bold patterns.

You can even style your favorite pieces of loungewear up or down. They’ll match any event and activity, whether you’re headed to school or hanging out with friends. Upscale loungewear should be a staple of every millennial and Gen Z wardrobe.

How Can I Take the Perfect Outfit Picture? 

Once you have the perfect outfit, you want to be able to show it off on your Instagram account or Instagram stories. And we don’t blame you. Social media is a great way to showcase your creativity and fashion sense.

These tips and tricks will help you to achieve the perfect look every time:

Choose a Great Backdrop

The right background can make all the difference. Maybe you’re visiting a new city, or you’re headed out on a hike or picnic at your favorite spot. Instagram-worthy places and backgrounds can help you to feel confident and excited about your look.

Remember, the right background should complement your outfit and style. To start, look for spots with colors or patterns that can boost and highlight the best parts of your design. You also want to make sure that they’re not so bright or bold that they distract or take away from the look.

Background and location will also help decide the tone of the piece and the best ways to pose for the camera. That’s why it’s always worth it to spend those extra few minutes on the search for background perfection.

Find Your Light

The background is also important because of the light. If you love bright golden hour sun, then shooting close to sunset can be an advantage. But if you’re looking for something softer, you’ll want to avoid having the bright sunset in the background.

The right light should flatter and support your outfit and make you stand out. The right amount of natural light is really important for good social media photos because it gives you more raw materials to work with when it comes to the editing process.

Don’t be afraid to use the light as a prop. You can experiment with shadows and shapes. Or embrace a softer, natural look with touches of the sun dappling through the trees. No matter what, the final look is sure to be a delight.

Know Your Angles

You should feel proud and confident when you post photos of your favorite looks to social media. One of the best ways to get the confidence you deserve is by knowing your best angles.

You can show off your favorite features, embrace the lighting, and stand tall with just a little bit of practice. And the more you know about your best angles, the easier it will be to show off the looks and outfits you really love. In fact, you can even highlight new or interesting pieces.

Angles can change the tone and style of your photography, as well. Just compare the high-up selfie angle to the look a photographer will get from the ground. Experiment with different levels and angles to find the looks you like the most.

Start Your Fashion Instagram

Fashion is a wonderful method of self-expression and creativity, especially for growing kids. And if you’re tweens or teens are looking for a good way to share their favorite looks, there’s no place better than Instagram. They’ll find a community of fashion enthusiasts just like themselves and learn all about the latest trends and styles.

And it’s easy to get started. Check out some of the popular styles and pieces, like jumpsuits, athleisurewear, and tie-dye, and begin experimenting with accessories and shoes. Then you want to make sure you find the perfect background for the look and the post. Don’t forget to account for the lighting. Now it’s all about finding the angles that make you feel the most confident.
