In a world where Tik Tok and Instagram dominant the social media world, it may be easy to overlook Pinterest and all it can inspire. Pinterest is a visual app where users can create folders, also known as boards, and scroll through content to create moodboards for anything and everything. It’s an app with endless visual inspiration and pins to save, and it’s the perfect way to plan your optimal streetwear fit. This is the ultimate visual app for inspiring others and being inspired.
Here are Current Archives’ top tips for crafting the ultimate fit:
The first tip is just knowing what to search for, because the Pinterest prompts are what makes all the difference to what appears on the main feed. Here are some term that align with CA’s values and vibes, that will hopefully provide you a Pinterest feed you will love:
- Streetwear Fits
- Vintage Streetwear Fits
- Sustainable streetwear outfits
- NYC inspired streetwear fits
- Japanese Streetwear
- Upcycled streetwear
Next, organising your boards into seasonal styles really helps with planning and improving your outfit-creating abilities. CA suggests making four main boards: Autumn, Summer, Winter and Spring inspired fits, this way your feed will offer pins that go with all of these vibes, as well as optimising the ‘see more’ tab on each board. Additionally, creating ‘aesthetic’ boards such as ‘baggy fits’ or ‘vintage streetwear’ is beneficial for ensuring a more personalised feed. This way, you are guaranteed a Pinterest feed that will reflect your fashion values.
Thirdly, bring the outfits to life: Pinterest has a feature where you can hold down the pin and similar outfits for sale come up, this way it’s kind of like your online shopping at the same time as getting inspired. Pinterest becomes your visual stylist. This method of creating outfits also saves you money and time, no more impulse buys that won’t work with any outfit and instead you have strong, staple pieces.
Lastly…. be open minded: Pinterest is such a versatile place that offers so much inspiration from every kind of style. Don’t just stick to one style but let the Pinterest feed guide you and you might find a vibe you love.
