Dressagrams

Dressagrams are a form of digital communication that combines visual elements of clothing with textual messages. They are typically created and shared on social media platforms, most notably Instagram, hence the "gram" in the name. The concept involves users posting photographs or short videos of themselves or others wearing specific outfits, often accompanied by captions that convey a message, mood, or story. This message can be direct, such as a recommendation for an outfit, or more abstract, reflecting personal feelings or current events through sartorial choices.

The practice of dressagrams is closely tied to the rise of visual social media and the increasing importance of personal style as a form of self-expression online. Users may curate their dressagrams to maintain a particular aesthetic, document their daily fashion choices, or engage with fashion trends. The content can range from casual everyday looks to more formal or themed ensembles. Engagement with dressagrams often involves likes, comments, and shares, with users sometimes responding to the fashion choices or the message conveyed. This form of communication blurs the lines between fashion blogging, personal journaling, and social interaction, offering a unique way for individuals to connect and express themselves digitally.
