How to Take an At-Home Mirror Selfie That Actually Looks Good
1
When it comes to really showing off your look, the way that you stand or sit is oftentimes crucial. Wearing something loose or oversize? You definitely don't want a shot with your legs side by side — it might make you look frumpy, rather than fashion-forward. There are specific poses in particular it can be nice to stick with when taking mirror selfies, like the straight shot or the leg-up side-angle view (this is a great option when your shoes or pant legs deserve a moment!). Where you stand and how you position your phone can also have a major effect on how your photo turns out.
Just remember to:
Back Up: If you want to get your full body and outfit in the shot, make sure everything, from your head to your shoes, is visible before snapping.
Think About Phone Placement: The most flattering angle is to the side, right by your face. But if you're hoping to zoom in on a specific piece, inch closer to the mirror and manipulate the phone so it captures your cute top in the right light.
