This post is all about fashion captions and fashion quotes for Instagram and social media platforms.

Fashion is about so much more than simply wearing the latest trending style or purchasing the most expensive designer outfits. Fashion is a statement of individuality that seeps into everyone’s life, as they assemble their work outfit for the day, shop with friends or style their hair during their morning routine.

Whether conscious of it or not, fashion is an inescapable element that, when embraced, can provide a powerful creative outlet that effectively boosts the wearer’s self-confidence and unleashes one’s innate sense of style. 

With fashion being such a prominent part of everyday life, we could not resist putting together a list of fashion captions and quotes that brilliantly capture the essence of what fashion is all about.

This article has it all: from fashion Instagram captions that are guaranteed to make your outfit of the day selfies stand out, to insightful quotes about fashion that remind us all to indulge in one of life’s most simple yet luxurious pleasures, fashion!
