THE 9 BIGGEST INSTAGRAM CLICHÉS

(and why we all participate)

I can be brief: clichés exist for a reason. And some foods, props, and inflatable things are simply trendier than others. So now you know exactly what you need to do to rake in those likes and extra followers .

Why don't you...

...do something with Starbucks coffee

Imagine, imagine: you drink coffee from Starbucks, but you forget to take a picture of it and share it on social media. Did you even drink coffee? No, exactly. We all have an OBSESSION for coffee in cardboard cups with mermaid logos on them. And preferably served on one of those small, cute round Parisian tables. To complete the picture, you have a fresh Vogue or LINDA. in your hands.

…do something with an inflatable flamingo

I could totally pretend to be a hypocrite, but we all participate hard, hoor, hoppa. Here on Insta (the name is Ingo yes) and May even dedicated a little post to her rubber pink friend.

…do something with an avo sandwich

Come on. We all know that your breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner WHATEVER you eat, instantly radiates a hefty dose of glamour and fitgirl with a dollop of avo on top, right? Well then.

…do something with a MacBook

On vacation among freelancers also seen as #officeoftheday. And then clearing away all your clutter and displaying your nice things like an organized chaos. And then pretending you work like this every day.

…do something with an ice cream

The cup is a no-go, you really need a good cone for this and preferably with two scoops that contrast nicely: a bright yellow mango versus a pink raspberry scoop. And then the models and slim types still pretend to eat this. Haha. Ha-ha-ha.

…do something with donuts (or cupcakes)

Those greasy, sticky ones, with polka dots, stripes, and chocolate explosions.

And the same goes for many here: take the prettiest picture possible, but eat? No way. And okay, to give you a little bit of support in this deceiving Insta-world: I do eat them, you know. All of them. Until I feel sick. Still working on that last thing.

…do something with flowers

Peonies. Do something with the queen of flowers and you can never go wrong. Just make sure to paint your nails in a matching color when you hold them in your hands. Well, you’re going for that like bomb or not.

…do something with a car and a selfie

Because you often have the right light in a car and a car selfie also looks very ‘busy and on the go’. Or something.

…do something with legs or toes on the beach

A.k.a.: the sausage legs. No vacation without them.
