Snapchat may be our go-to for filtered selfies and silly videos, but when we're feeling a tad serious, Instagram's our social media platform of choice. It's there we find ourselves wanting to curate the perfect feed, full of our best outfits, chic details, and the occasional latte art. And the best — and easiest — way to achieve our goal? Inspiration from our favorite fashion bloggers, who can show you how it's done with a single scroll.
When it comes to what they post, these stylish ladies don't play around, creating themes with colors and patterns and making use of photo editing apps. Read on to find out how you, too, can curate a feed worth following. Then, check out how to nail the tricky mirror selfie.

Make the Most of Those Filters
It doesn't matter what you 'gram — if you filter every photo the same, your feed will look uniform and elevated.
Remember the Rule of 3
Some bloggers, like Micah Gianneli, post multiple shots of the same outfit in a row, creating a pattern on their feeds.
Consider Your Setting
Posting photos with the same or a similar background — always taking a mirror selfie in your bedroom, always posing in front of a colorful wall, etc. — will give your feed that extra quirk that'll make it stand out from the rest.
Go Bright
Don't be afraid to incorporate color and make your feed pop. Even if your photo is dimly lit, play around with editing tools to bring up the saturation and warmth.
Or Bright and White
Consider what you want your feed to look like as a whole. If you want your photos to sort of blend together, opt to always take pics in front of a white background — and brighten up the others with apps when that isn't an option.
Find Your Focus
Always wear amazing shoes and bags? Continue posting photos to showcase that. People will soon discover this is the place to come and see — you guessed it! — photos of shoes and bags.
Switch It Up
Posting full-length shot after full-length shot can sometimes get a little stale. Keep things fresh by alternating between #OOTDs and details or details and quotes or another fun combination of your choosing.
Or Just Zoom In on Details
If you don't have someone around to take your photo all the time, you could make your feed a compilation of detail shots. Take photos of your bags, of your shoes from above, and even your coffee. You can also pop in a quote or a zoomed-in nature shot to keep things interesting.
Use Grids
A great way to show multiple angles in one photo? Grids! You'll typically find three photos stitched together on Style Pantry's 'gram, which makes it stand out from all those single shots.
