instagram captions for selfies
Khadija Horton

You’ve done it. You’ve taken the most perfect selfie known to (wo)man, and now…it’s both a natural impulse and your human responsibility to share it with the masses. While some people out there might scoff at the idea of shameless selfies, lemme just make it very clear that they’re simply jealous. They’re probs still lost on the long journey to finding the perfect lighting or their ideal angle, and that’s a natural cause for frustration and envy.

For those of us who relish in a mini selfie shoot, you know that a lot of work can go behind getting the shot (aka approximately 127 snapped shots just for you to favorite three). Establishing the right pose, setting up a solid smize, making sure your background isn’t too embarrassing. This is what we call creative direction, folks. Good thing we’ve got tips to help out with all of that.

So yes, capturing a next-level face pic that you can’t get tired of is one thing. But then CAPTIONING IT? An entirely separate beast. There are endless directions you could take: Flirty! Shady! A pop culture reference! It’s okay though, because as far as potential captions go, we’ve covered all the bases for you. Whether you’re snapping anything from a mirror pic to a blurry party shot, these are just 110 lines to support your self-love. Your followers simply are not ready for the combo of gorgeousness and wit you’re about to bestow on their feed. Check out our collection of Instagram captions for selfies below, and grab one for the next time you’re ready to flex.
