With many people spending upwards of 6-8 hours scrolling through social media each and every day, the way you present your profile online can have a huge impact on your reputation. Thankfully creating a stylish social media aesthetic that you can maintain to exude sophistication and a unique flair doesn’t have to be as tricky as you might expect, as there are many innovative ideas that you can utilize to transform your profile in no time at all! So, if you’re ready to find out more about how you can revamp your social media aesthetic to show off your stylish side, then read on to find out more.
Pick A Good Username
First and foremost, you’re going to need a username that accurately represents you and what you’re about. It can be hard to pick a username as no two profiles can have the same one, but thankfully you can often use things like numbers or special characters like _ or . to get a username that’s close to whatever you would have preferred. You can use your name if you like, but it’s always a good idea to think about safety whenever you choose to do something like this. Putting both your first name and second name online can increase your risk of things like identity fraud, so it’s best to avoid giving away too much of your personal information in your username. If your social media profile is going to be about something in particular rather than simply being a personal profile, then you can consider including words or phrases that relate to whatever you’re going to be posting about. For example, if you want to improve your sports gear based profile, you might like to use phrasing such as ‘SportsgearBy’ or ‘FitnesswearFrom’ followed by your first name. That will bring the right people in to look at your softball jerseys, for example. Being a little creative is always good when it comes to choosing a username that hasn’t already been taken, so think outside of the box to decide on a stylish yet suitable username that’s easily memorable.
Choose A Set Theme
Choosing a set theme for your social media profile should be your next priority when attempting to improve your aesthetic, as this is something that other users will immediately pick up on when they visit your page. When you click on a profile, especially on photo or video-sharing applications, you’re usually greeted with a summary of the most recent posts made by the user. These thumbnails contribute massively towards your theme and the quality of your aesthetic online, as do features such as your ‘bio’ (personal description), profile photo, and the colours that you use overall.
The actual type of content that you choose to post can also be associated with your profile’s theme, as you can identify a set topic that generally carries its own stylistics and theme points. So, you can choose a sleek, elegant theme that maximizes classical styling with cream, baby pink, and regal gold colours for the perfect feminine profile, posting photos of your trips out to beautiful destinations, stunning fashion boutiques, and delicious restaurants. Or, you could opt for a rustic farm-style profile that’s rich in deep, natural tones like green, orange and brown, posting content that relates to the great outdoors and all things homestead related.
Your theme should be channeled through every aspect of your social media profile if you want to maintain an eye-catching aesthetic, as every post, picture, and piece of writing should make other users immediately associate what they are seeing with your profile. Don’t worry if you’re stuck on what kind of theme to go for, as it’s so easy to find stylish inspiration online. You can check out other popular profiles that you like to follow to see what aesthetic features are included in their page, combining your favorite points from a few users to create a unique theme that embodies your personal flair. Or, you can flick through a few glossy magazines that focus on fashion and beauty to see what pops out of the page that you can reinvent in your profile!
Take (& Edit) Beautiful Photos
The last step that you need to follow to transform your social media aesthetic and create a profile to be proud of is to take (and edit) as many beautiful photos and videos as you can. With most social media applications beginning to lean more towards photos and videos as the main content source, it’s never been more important to learn how to take and edit the best photos possible, but it isn’t as easy as it sounds. It can take a lot of trial and error to take the right photo, but with experience comes great skill! Practice definitely makes perfect when it comes to photography, even when you consider the selfie department, but fortunately, there are lots of helpful tricks and handy tips online that you can make the most of to speed up your success. Whether you find a photoshop application that contains tutorials on how to best use each feature, or even edit your videos and apply cinematic filters to create greater intensity and grab the attention of whoever scrolls past, just make sure that you remain original throughout. Make sure you don’t go overboard when it comes to editing, especially if you’re photoshopping selfies, as this can make things look totally unnatural and less easy on the eye. Keep things interesting by posting different places, people, ideas, and opportunities, rather than posting photos and videos that are strikingly similar to each other. Remember to channel your aforementioned theme in each of the photos and videos that you take and publish on social media, as this will reinforce your beautiful aesthetic and set the scene perfectly for whoever visits your profile.
Creating a stylish social media aesthetic has never been so simple when you can take the time to utilize some of the excellent tips and ideas that have been carefully described above! Being a successful influencer won’t seem like such a faraway goal when your follower number begins to rise as a result of your new and improved aesthetic, so what are you waiting for?
