What does OOTD mean?

Also written: outfit of the day, #ootd, ootd, OOTN

In short

OOTD stands for "outfit of the day". It labels a photo or video of what someone is wearing that day or for a particular occasion, usually posted on social media with the hashtag #OOTD. It is mainly a fashion and lifestyle tag: the point is to show the look, often with where each piece came from.

What counts as an OOTD

Cambridge defines OOTD as a set of clothes worn by someone on a particular day or occasion, used especially when people post a picture or video of it. A typical OOTD post is a mirror selfie or full-length shot, sometimes with the brands listed in the caption. The exact date the tag started is not well documented; it spread with fashion blogging and photo apps.

How to use it

  • "#OOTD: thrifted blazer, white tee, old Levi's."
  • "Today's OOTD is 90% hoodie and 10% hope."
  • "Can you drop the links for this OOTD?"
  • "Doing a week of office OOTDs, day 1."
