For the perfect outfit pic.

The latest Instagram pose is one that we've plenty of time for

We could manage this, probably.

What to do when you have a fire outfit and want to show it off to the world (or just the 300-odd people who follow you on Instagram)?

Post a banging outfit mirror selfie, obviously – but sometimes that’s easier said than done.

Like, what are you to supposed do with your legs? Stand like normal? Spread them apart? Crouch down?

To put it plainly, some of us can’t pose to save our lives. It’s a very real affliction for which we’ve never been able to find a cure.

Until now.

Blogger Eva Chen has come up with what she calls the ‘baby giraffe’.

It literally makes you look like a newborn giraffe learning to walk and it’s one that even the most physically uncoordinated of us should be able for.

She explained exactly how to nail it in an Instagram story.

“I stick my bum out and tilt one leg forward and the other leg back. Like I’m a baby giraffe walking.”

And there you have it.

As for what to do with the arm that’s not holding the phone?

Eva tends to favour holding onto a bannister but we reckon anything, like the top of a chair or the elbow of a passing stranger, would do.

We feel like this is about to become our go-to as it definitely beats the ‘Plandid‘ (a fake spontaneous photo can be very tricky) and the ‘Cool Girl Spread‘, which we’re honestly just not cool enough for.
