# Flat-lay of every piece beside worn outfit

A fashion format, measured November 8, 2026 by Volume. https://tryvolume.app/working/fashion/flat-lay-of-every-piece-beside-worn-outfit

Put a clean flat-lay of the exact garments in the same frame as, or right before, the on-body shot. It worked for 3 accounts, with a median of 6x their usual reach. Type: Editing trick. Seen as: Slideshow.

## Why it works

Viewers can see both the fit and each individual piece, so they can save and shop the look. Visible brand tags make it more useful.

## How to make it

1. Lay out each garment flat, neatly folded
2. Pair the flat-lay with the worn photo on the same slide or the one before
3. Repeat for every outfit in the carousel

## Hook formula

[Number] [item] outfits every guy should try

## How this is measured

- Every post is compared with its own account's usual reach, not with other accounts. "14x their usual" means the post got 14 times the median views of that account's recent posts.
- TikTok videos and Instagram Reels are measured on views. Instagram carousels have no view count, so they are measured on likes against the account's usual likes, and say so.
- A post makes the library at 2x its account's usual or more. A format is a repeatable move (what is said or shown, or how it is edited) that several accounts used in breakout posts. It is listed here once it worked for 3 or more different accounts.
- Formats rank on how many accounts they worked for and how far above usual, damped so a fluke on one tiny account cannot outrank a format that worked for ten.
