Sharing 'your' trends in Instagram




"What's the use of passion, if you can't share it"

Instagram has become way better with the trends it has. I discovered there are million ways to convey your interest through millions trends available, or you can simply create your own trends! Spending last few days searching for Instagram's trends, here's some fashion-related-trends that I found:


  • #ootd aka outfit of the day

#ootd is normally use to convey what people are wearing for the day. This trend is normally accompanied by other trends to explain their outfit in more details: #bareback, #ring, #miniduffle and even the trending colours: #neon, #salmon, #orange. Psst, I wouldn't be surprise but there are 1,892,986 #ootd photos in Instagram now.

  • Putting time and places as trends

Instagram users can also include details like time and places in conveying their story: #winter, #sydney, #august, #australia, #2012. So, you wouldn't wonder where and when the pictures were taken :)

  • BRANDS
Putting brands as trends conveys a lot of different meanings to the viewers. It can be informational so you wouldn't wonder what shoes or bag is that (cause perhaps you want one!). Sounds stupid but it's true, people also want to brag and flaunt their stuff. No rules saying people can't do this! It is up to you how you would see people's true intention of revealing the brands they use. You can also see this as promoting the brands: #armaniexchange, #ysl, #proenzaschouler, #salvatore, #alexanderwang. These brands would definitely love to know how happy and satisfied you are with your items to be able to promote them to others. Why wouldn't make them happy if they make you happy too, right?

There are million other trends available in Instagram. Those mentions above are just some trends that convey people's various passion for fashion. If you think these trends are too common and mainstream, go and make your own! 

P.S. It would be great if you can make #fashionality as trending trends in Instagram, we are making this happen and make sure you do too!

Till then!
