Don’t Sleep on These 10 Instagram Trends to Create This Season

Instagram Trends to Create This Season – Spring is the Season to Romanticize Everything

I love fresh aesthetics.

That feeling when you scroll and stop not because the content is loud, but because it’s just so nice to look at.

That’s what I’ve been noticing lately – trends that feel soft, real, and slightly cinematic.

Not overly polished, not screaming for attention – but rather whispering, “Hey, stay a little longer.”

So, if you’re planning your content calendar, looking for ideas, or just love playing with aesthetics (like I do), here are spring Instagram trends that are not only trending but also genuinely enjoyable to create.

Some are low effort, some are storytelling gold, and all of them?

They make you want to hit “save.”

Split Collage Moments: You + What You See

Ten out of ten for this. We’re talking about a collage – but not just any.

On one slide, it’s you. On the other – what you’re seeing.

Maybe you’re sipping matcha on a rooftop, and the second shot is the city skyline.

Or you’re walking through a vintage store – one frame shows your outfit, the other, the dreamy chaos of colorful racks.
This is for the in-the-moment storytellers.

It’s giving “this is my life from my eyes” and it’s still incredibly engaging.

Even more so if you add little captions, timestamps, or doodles.

Top-Down Perspective Selfie

Still underrated. Whether it’s your outfit laid out, coffee on a patterned floor, your hand reaching for a book – this angle makes the ordinary feel editorial.

The top-down view feels like you’re letting people peek into your world without saying a word.

Tip? Use natural light, and don’t over-style.

Let the scene breathe.

Balletcore & Pilatescore Aesthetics

We’re moving past tennis skirts (though we still love them).

This spring, balletcore is tiptoeing in – and not just for dancers.

Think soft pinks, bows, airy materials, leg warmers, and ballet flats in everyday fits.

Pilatescore?

It’s the girl who walks to the studio with an iced latte, headphones in, hair in a clip, and a duffel bag that looks like she could be escaping to Paris.

You don’t need to be working out.

You just need the vibe.

Point-and-Shoot (Low Quality) Vibes

We’re talking digital cameras from the early 2000s.

Grainy, slightly overexposed, flash-in-your-face kind of energy.

This trend is pure nostalgia, and it’s everywhere.

Big brands are already jumping on it – and here’s the best part: you can try it for free.

Apps like Prequel, Dazz Cam, or even Instagram’s own filters let you recreate that lo-fi aesthetic.

Want bonus points? Add a timestamp. You’re welcome.

Moodboard Carousel Posts

This one is for the storytellers.

✅Create a carousel that’s basically a moodboard: a few lifestyle shots, something handwritten, a quote, an outfit photo, a texture shot (like concrete, ocean waves, a close-up of denim).

People love saving these because it feels like a little escape.

You can even theme it: “My March Mood,” “Sunday Reset Vibes,” or “How I Romanticize Life This Week.”

Slow Lifestyle Videos with Calm Voiceovers

Let’s be honest – our feeds are overstimulated. That’s why people are craving slower content.

✅Think 15–30 second videos of you doing everyday things: folding laundry, watering plants, journaling in bed, walking to get groceries – paired with a calm voiceover or soft background music.

It feels real. Like you’re letting people into your quiet little moments.
Start with:

“I had one of those days where everything was soft, and nothing was loud…”
It’s almost like writing a little poem with your life.

‘Getting Ready’ Realness (But Not Just Makeup)

We’ve seen GRWMs for years, but here’s the twist: do them for everything.

• “Get ready with me to go read in the park.”
• “GRWM to romanticize doing absolutely nothing today.”
• “Packing my bag for a grocery run I’ll probably romanticize.”
  Let it be casual. Talk like you’re FaceTiming a friend. It’s not about perfect hair – it’s about your vibe.

Using Text on Photos Like a Digital Diary

Add little notes to your photos – not big, bold text – but soft, handwritten-style captions right on the image.
For example:
A photo of your shoes in a puddle, with “a quiet Monday” in the corner.
A blurry cafe shot with “needed this moment” scribbled on it.
It gives Pinterest-core meets personal diary. People love this because it’s emotional and aesthetic.

Messy Tables = Peak Aesthetic

Yes, we love clean visuals, but right now? Messy tables are in.

• Your desk covered in books, coffee, and half-scribbled notes.
• A dining table mid-dinner with friends – wine glasses, candles half-burned, food half-eaten.
  It’s cozy chaos. Real life looks like this, and it feels so much more honest than a perfect flat lay.

Spring City Walks & Exploring Your Own Neighborhood

This is for those of us who are constantly looking for beauty in everyday places.

Put on a cute outfit, take your phone, and walk around your city or neighborhood.

Film snippets of buildings, trees blooming, strangers walking dogs, your own shadow on the sidewalk.

You can add a soft voiceover or just let the ambient sound play. Title it something like:

“A Tuesday that felt like a Sunday.”
or
“Spring is slowly arriving, and so am I.”
Honestly? Feeds need this kind of softness right now.

Final Thoughts

What I love about these trends is that they’re less about “creating content” and more about living beautifully, and showing that to others.

It’s not about filters or the perfect caption anymore – it’s about noticing things.

The light, the moment, the feeling.

✅And here’s one little tip I swear by: whatever trend you try, make it yours by adding a piece of your personality or values into the visual.
Ask yourself – what do I stand for?

What do I love? Whether it’s freedom, softness, creativity, boldness, curiosity, or kindness – let that shine through.

You can show this in your colors, your words, even the way you frame a shot.

People don’t just want to see aesthetics – they want to feel you in the content.

So if you’re feeling stuck with content, start with how your life feels. Spring is a fresh start – in color, in energy, in storytelling.

And remember, people don’t connect with perfection.

They connect with you, the way you see things, and the way you share them.

So go ahead, pull out that dusty digital camera, put on your ballet flats, and take us on a little walk around your world.

We’ll be right here, watching, saving, and probably saying, “Okay yeah… I needed this.”
