From holiday itineraries to outfit snaps, "doing it for the 'gram" has become a way of life for so many social media users. Sure, there's much to debate over the authenticity of a picture-perfect feed, but one benefit to the endless stream of content on Instagram is outfit ideas aplenty.
If you follow your fair share of fashion insiders, style bloggers, and influencers, then you're well aware of the treasure trove their Instagram handles provide. These style-savvy posters are always clued in to the latest trends, sport covetable cult items, and know all the styling tricks that make for a photogenic outfit, from sweet and feminine to sporty-luxe and impeccably minimal.

A favourite outfit hack across the board for fashion influencers is volume, and puffy sleeves are the perfect starting point, as demonstrated by Alyssa Coscarelli.

4 The Instagrammable Outfit: Head-to-Toe Colour
Retro shirts are having a moment this season, as are vivid colours worn head-to-toe. For a sexy Summer look, take a cue from Imani Randolph and style an open button-down top over a sheer bodysuit or camisole, and mix in extra-bright pieces like a neon skirt and bright bag.

9 The Instagrammable Outfit: A Utility Suit
The utilitarian trend has been a huge hit among the fashion crowd for Spring and Summer with the boilersuit reigning supreme. For a warm-weather version of the must-have look, take a page from Pernille Teisbaek's book and try a long-sleeve romper version with barley-there sandals and shield sunglasses.

13 The Instagrammable Outfit: A Little White Dress

17 The Instagrammable Outfit: Summer Tailoring
Summer work outfits can feel like a drag in the heat, unless, of course, you've mastered the Summer tailoring trend, like Tyla Lauren. Cop her look by styling a colourful blazer with even brighter jeans, a ribbed top, and colour-block sneakers for guaranteed likes.

22 The Instagrammable Outfit: A Romantic Dress
Romance was a major trend on the Spring and Summer runways, from ruffles to bows and lace. For a Summer date night or party look, emulate Hunter McGrady's sweet outfit by pairing a printed minidress with nude sandals and a pastel bag. Too cute!
23 POPSUGAR Plus Size Print Tie-Waist Dress
24 Splendid Trenton Strappy Slide Sandal
25 Medea Prima Hanna Small Leather Tote
26 The Instagrammable Outfit: A Long Skirt
One of the freshest ways to adapt the ever-popular athleisure trend is by teaming sporty styles with feminine pieces like full skirts — and this season, and continuing into the Fall, longer hemlines are a must-try silhouette. One of our favourite ways to try this look is by mirroring Bianca Valle's skirt-and-hoodie combo and finishing with white Western boots as an unexpected pop.
27 Helmut Lang Exclamation Hoodie
28 POPSUGAR Tiered Midi Skirt
29 Acne Studios Jensen Bootie
30 The Instagrammable Outfit: A Splash of Yellow
Yellow is the biggest colour trend for Summer, from soft shades of banana and lemon to saturated tones like butter and mango. Give the jaunty hue an after-hours spin a lá Sami Miró and pair a ribbed top with leather trousers, bright green heels, and a playful PVC tote.
31 POPSUGAR Henley Stripe Tee
32 Frame Pull On Leather Trouser
33 Wandler Isa Square-Toe Leather Mules
34 Staud Shirley Bag
35 The Instagrammable Outfit: Elevated Basics
Instagrammable outfits don't always involve showy pieces. Sometimes, all you need is an alluring backdrop to make simple separates shine like Jannel Therese proves with her laid-back Summer look. To re-create her effortless ensemble, all you need is a minimal bodysuit, wide-leg pants, and comfy slides (a colourful background doesn't hurt, either).
