8 hook templates for fashion creators.

Fashion content is judged on the fit in the first frame, and most viewers scroll before the caption loads. These hooks give the outfit a stake, a cost, a rule being broken, or a decade of mistakes, so the look earns a second look.

1. 01Cost-per-wearNumber-first
   This [ITEM] cost $[N]. I've worn it [N] times. This one cost $[N] and I've worn it [N] times.Copy pattern
   Example
   This coat cost $890. I've worn it four times. This one cost $60 at a thrift store and I've worn it 140 times.Copy
   Number-first hook for wardrobe-math content; the comparison does the arguing for you.
2. 02Stylist-ruleAuthority
   [PROFESSIONAL GROUP] never [DO X] with [ITEM]. Once you see it you can't unsee it on [GROUP].Copy pattern
   Example
   Stylists never let a blazer sleeve end at the wrist. Once you see it you can't unsee it on every guy at a wedding.Copy

   Example
   If your jeans gap at the back waist, they're cut for a different hip. Not your body. Go one size down and take the waist in.Copy
   Direct hook for fit troubleshooting; naming the body-blame and removing it is the pull.

   Example
   Three things well-dressed men buy that most guys never think of. None of them are clothes.Copy

   Example
