Fashion influencers may make their OOTD posts look effortless, but the reality is that there are typically hours spent finding the perfect fit, the right backdrop, waiting until golden hour for peak lighting, and taking at least 117 pictures trying out various poses... only to completely blank on a caption. Everyone’s been there — hence why the oft recycled “felt cute, might delete later”, a series of cheeky emojis, or just the basic OOTD hashtag sans caption often end up being the go-to. Coming up with something clever and relevant is a lot of pressure and can really make or break the pic if the vibe isn’t right. Important stuff, y’all.

So, how does one choose the perfect fashiony Instagram caption to go with their cutest style shots and mirror selfies? First of all, figure out your mood: Do you want to go with something sassy with an air of “I’m too sexy for this _____” or are you feeling deep and reflective, wanting to show off your fashion knowledge with a quote from one of the premier designers of the past century?

For the sake of saving time and making you sound like a true fashion influencer, here’s a list of 70 Instagram-ready captions, including everything from song lyrics to quotes and brilliant pop culture references. Save this list to your drafts for an easy copy and paste for those fit pics and thank me after you break the Internet.
