6 Surprising Ways to Get More Instagram Followers in 2019

Like it or not, we're living in the height of the Instagram age, and how many followers you have matters to a lot of people to a certain extent. But building your following doesn't usually happen overnight (unless you're a celebrity), so having a few tricks up your sleeve is key. The person with all the tricks is Who What Wear's very own social media editor, Mimi Postigo. You can see her expertise at work on Who What Wear's Instagram account, which has nearly three million followers, and she's also one half of the popular The Devils Wear Zara, which boasts nearly 100,000 followers.

I asked Mimi to fill me in on surprising ways to build your following (because we've all heard the theories about which filters and outfit colors get more likes), and her tips were so insightful. I even decided to put them to the test on my own account (shameless plug: It's @allypayer) for a little firsthand experience. I gained about 50 followers over the past month, which is significant for me, as my follower count is less than 2000. (It's all relative, right?)

Keep scrolling for six tried-and-true ways to get more Instagram followers this year, and see examples along the way.

Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns.
