What Luxury Style is for

Black into a deep gold-tinted brown, a two point gold rule, gold serif labels, vertical, with a band for a stylist or boutique name. High-end resale, tailoring and personal styling all sit in it, because the post is selling judgement rather than volume. Dark grounds flatter fabric texture, and gold labels are quiet enough to leave the garment as the only bright thing.

The ground is a gradient of 2 stops, running #0A0A0A into #1A1400 behind the pair rather than over it. A 2 point #D4AF37 divider splits the canvas, and the Playfair Display Bold labels sit bottom centre. The canvas is 9:16 vertical, rounded by 8 points, and the labels arrive reading Before and After. Under the pair the template holds back 48 points for a logo and a business name, which is what makes it worth using twice.

The specificationExtracted, not typed

Every value in Luxury Style, as the build holds it

On a template built for a long gap, two values earn a second look before any of the others: whether the date stamp is switched on, and what the labels already say. Both sit in the panel beside the diagram. The diagram is the frame at the size the app composes it, showing the outline, the rule, the label corner and any reserved band.

Shooting for itLifestyle category

How to shoot a pair for Luxury Style

A long-gap pair has one enemy and it is drift. Everything moves over six weeks: the light, the room, the phone, the haircut, the clothes. The pair that convinces is the one where nothing changed except the thing being claimed, so the setup has to be repeatable by somebody who has forgotten how they did it. Same wall, same time of day, same distance, feet in the same place. Write down where you stood. In three months you will not remember, and the shot you cannot repeat is worth nothing.

In orderWritten for lifestyle work
  1. 01Set the shot up once and write down the setup. Distance, wall, time of day, what you were wearing. The note is the asset.
  2. 02Take the first frame on the first day even if there is nothing to show yet. There is no way to go back for it later.
  3. 03Repeat the shot on a schedule rather than when you feel like it. Ghost Camera makes the repeat exact, and the date stamp records when it happened.
  4. 04Pick the template that matches the register of what you are claiming. A neon frame around a modest change reads as a stretch.
  5. 05Keep the intermediate frames. A pair is one post, and a run of dated frames is a month of them.

Weeks between two photographs is weeks for something to drift. Put the pair through the free slider tool before you build the post, on your own device and in about two seconds, then use the guide to why pairs look staged to work out which part moved.

Honest limitsTwo of them, and both are real

What Luxury Style will not do

This is the category where an honest pair is easiest to make and easiest to fake, and the difference shows. Lighting, posture, a tan, a pump, the time of day, and the same body reads two ways with nothing having changed. Nothing in the app adjusts a body or a face, and nothing in it should be used to imply a result you did not get. On the mechanical side, the labels shipped with these templates are editable text, so Day 1 and 90 Days are starting points rather than measurements the app checks.

On this template in particularThe branding strip is a reserved band of a fixed depth under the pair rather than an overlay, so a tall or unusually shaped logo is scaled to fit inside it. It is one logo and one business name in one place, which is the whole of the app's branding.

Common questions

Who is the Luxury Style template for?
Black into a deep gold-tinted brown, a two point gold rule, gold serif labels, vertical, with a band for a stylist or boutique name. High-end resale, tailoring and personal styling all sit in it, because the post is selling judgement rather than volume. Dark grounds flatter fabric texture, and gold labels are quiet enough to leave the garment as the only bright thing.
When should I use something other than Luxury Style?
Gold on black is a small amount of contrast for wording. On a phone in daylight the labels can read as decoration rather than as text, so raise the label colour in the editor if the post has to work outdoors.
Is Luxury Style free?
No, it is one of the Pro templates. The free tier opens 8 of the 100, and everything else in the editor is free with them: all four comparison modes, Ghost Camera, the filters, the stickers, the full label editor, and your own logo and business name.
What shape is Luxury Style, and what will it export at?
The template's canvas is 9:16 vertical. The export ratio is a separate choice made in the export sheet: 9:16 and 1:1 on the free tier, plus 4:5 and the original ratio on Pro. 9:16 is among them, so the canvas and the export can match exactly.
Can I change the BEFORE and AFTER wording?
Yes. Luxury Style starts with "Before" and "After", and every part of that is editable: the text, the typeface, the colour, the size, bold and italic, uppercase, a shadow, the background opacity, and the position, either one of five presets or dragged anywhere on the canvas.
Can I compare two video clips with this?
No, and for a progress series that is the point. Two dated photographs are the unit of evidence here, not a clip, and the app builds the reveal out of them without ever touching footage.
