12 fashion video ideas

Each with the first line, the shots in order, the proof to show and how to caption it.

   2. Outfit 1: work, mirror
   3. Outfit 2 to 5, quick transitions

2. 02

   Size-by-size try-on

   The question every fashion comment section asks. Answer it with one piece on several bodies.

   Hook “Same dress in an XS, an M and an XL.”

   Shots

   1. Each person states height and size
   2. Front, side, back
   3. Sitting down in it
   4. All together

   Show:

   Fabric close-up

   Texture and weight are what online buyers can’t feel. A macro with movement answers it.

   Hook “This is what the fabric actually looks like. No filter.”

   Shots

   1. Macro of the weave in daylight
   2. Fabric stretched between hands
   3. Crumpled and released
   4. Held up to a window for sheerness

   2. Trying combos

   Wash and wear test

   Shrinking, fading and pilling cause bad reviews. Testing after several washes shows quality.

   Hook “New tee versus the same tee after ten washes.”

   Shots

   1. Both side by side
   2. Neckline close-up on both
   3. Length laid flat, measured
   4. Fabric macro

   Capsule wardrobe build

   Capsule content suits buyers who want fewer, better pieces. The brand’s items as part of a capsule feels intentional.

   Hook “Ten pieces, twenty outfits for a week of travel.”

   Shots

   1. Ten pieces on a rail
   2. Outfit combos, quick cuts
   3. Packed in a carry-on

   Hook “Website photo on the left. Me on the right.”

   Shots

   2. Same pose in the piece
   3. Movement

   Styling a difficult piece

   Bold prints and unusual cuts scare buyers. Showing them styled simply lowers the risk.

   Hook “Bought a loud printed skirt. Here’s how I wear it on a Tuesday.”

   2. Styled simply
   3. Styled up for evening

   Designer or founder studio tour

   Behind the scenes on how pieces are made gives the brand a story and justifies price.

   Hook “This coat takes three weeks to make. Here’s why.”

   Shots

   1. Pattern pieces on a table
   2. Cutting and sewing
   3. Fitting on a model
   4. Finished piece on a rail

    2. Front and side fit
    3. Shoes on and off

    Shots

    1. Dress alone, summer styling
    2. Layers added: tights, knit, boots
    3. Final autumn look outside
