Getting more from these captions

Clean the mirror first
Smudges show up in photos and reflect the light oddly. Wipe it with a cloth before you start.
Hold the phone at chest height
It gives a natural angle. Holding it high or low changes how proportions look and often makes the shot less flattering.
Hide the clutter
A quick tidy behind you makes the photo cleaner. Or lean into it with a caption that jokes about the mess.

Questions

What is a good caption for a mirror selfie?

A light joke or a short check-in: 'Fit check, passed.' or 'I cleaned the mirror for this. You're welcome.'

How do I take a good mirror selfie?

Clean the mirror, stand near a window for natural light and hold the phone at chest height.

Is it okay to post a mirror selfie in a gym?

Yes, but keep other people out of the frame. Check that the gym allows photography first.

What makes a good mirror selfie for a girl: Instagram captions or none?

A short caption that names the outfit, the place or the mood is enough. If the photo says it all, a single emoji or a two-word line works too.
