Using Pinterest to get the most out of your fashion inspo!

Hi guys! Today I will be explaining how I use Pinterest to better understand my personal style. I used advice given by r/femalefashionadvice to originally develop my board.

The first step is to definitely create a board solely dedicated to fashion inspo, or to create a whole new account entirely. This helps keeps things organized and makes your inspo easy to reference when you need it. Creating a new account can be helpful later on so that the posts pinterest recommends you are geared more towards fashion.

The second step is to break your board down into specific sections. Above is an example of how I have broken my board into sections. They don’t have to be like mine. It should be tailored into how you break outfits down. For example outfits can have a top and bottom piece, so you might make top and bottom sections. But jackets for you might not be in the same section as tank tops for example, so you can make different sections for each. I really hope this is making sense :’)

The next step is to start saving stuff to your new board. You can use social media to analyze what styles or aesthetics you like seeing people wear, or ask friends about their style or brand of clothes. You can then use those key words to help you search for clothes to go into your board. When I first started my board a year ago, I first searched for cottagecore and streetwear styles. But now my board looks like this!

Be aware that at first your board will probably not look curated at all. It may be messy, and that’s ok! The more you add to your board, the more it will make sense.

After you have a sizable amount of pins, you can start to analyze your clothes. Looking at the example of my board above, we can pull a few observations. I seem to save tops that use a soft or stretchy appearing material. Some of these tops also have a v or straight neckline. Some also have a 3D or applique element, like lace, beading, or buttons. See all that we observed already? We can use these observations the next time we go shopping.

Now, we go shopping. Online works, but I prefer in person so I can try on and consider the clothes I’m purchasing more deeply rather than buying impulsively online. The trick is to buy one or two new pieces, not a whole new wardrobe. This is because a style or trend might be appealing at first, but you may end up not liking it. So buying a limited amount of pieces helps save closet space and is less wasteful. It can also help you integrate your new pieces into your wardrobe and see how it fits in with your other clothes.

I find it helpful to pull up pinterest after before I put an item in my cart and after I try it on. After I pull an item that I like, I compare it to the section it fits in my board and see what it shares in common with the clothing I often save. If it’s something that doesn’t match, most of the time I will put it back. If I find a piece that shares common details with clothing I often save, I will try on.

After I have found a few pieces I like, I consider three things: if it truly fits with the stuff I have saved on my board, the functionality of the piece, and how it could fit into my wardrobe. If it fits my board, functionality and how it could fit in my wardrobe helps me further consider a piece. Often we save pins that might be influenced by the dream of being a bad bitch, or the people we follow online. But consider, would you actually wear this piece outside your home. For example although I save a fair share of high heels and boots, it wouldn’t make sense for me to have many pairs because I walk a lot at school and can’t wear them to my job. So owning many pairs of heels wouldn’t make much sense. For fitting in the wardrobe, see if you can make 3-5 outfits in your mind if you had a new piece.

That’s all my advice for today! I hope this helps my fellow critically online fashionistas :)))

happy pinning
