22 Styling Hacks All Bloggers Use on Instagram

Curating an Instagram feed that's both representative of your personality and your taste in clothes can be difficult. You want to write captions that feel true to you and also subtly hint to your followers, "Hey, check out my outfit!" That seems nearly impossible. How can you keep things authentic? Well, we looked to the pros, the ladies who have been managing to pull off this not-so-easy task for years, and we discovered a few tricks they all seem to use.

Whether you're posing in front of your bathroom mirror or for a personal photographer, there are tactics you should know about to capture the perfect angle that seems to invite all the double taps.
