Subway fits are an old TikTok genre. In November 2023 Refinery29 called them "the new street style" and counted over 13 billion views in TikTok's search results for "subway fit". Transitions came with them: a passing train or a pillar hides the cut, and the creator comes back somewhere else or in something else. On 1 December 2024 @farbfilms used a subway pillar to jump from the platform to Times Square ("POV: You've finally been to New York, and now it's time for this one transition", 42,500 plays). On 12 September 2025 @joewoahy's "pov: you tried the subway trend", a still pose while a train rushes by behind him, passed 1.3 million plays. The AI version is new. On 15 October 2026 the creator Diana Qeblawi (@dianaqeblawiofficial) posted "Outfit changes between trains. Which one are you wearing?": four looks on a white-tiled platform, one per passing train. MakeViral's template copies that reel. The tags are still small: on 16 October 2026 #subwayoutfit had 80 videos and #traintransition 93. ### Subway Outfits trend timeline - **2023-11-10**: Refinery29 reports that subway fits are "the new street style" on TikTok, with over 13 billion views for "subway fit" in search.

No editing app, no watermark. ### The one-tap way (no prompt to write) 1. **Add your photo.** Press "Make yours" and add you, face clear. Take it with the camera or pick it from your library. Start here: https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/subway-outfit-change-ai-trend/create 2. **Press Generate.** The button shows the price. Genjutsu Motion puts your photos into the Subway outfits trend clip and copies it shot by shot for 13 seconds, with the reel's original song. You write no prompt. 3. **Download or share.** The video is ready in a few minutes as a 9:16 MP4. Download it, share it from your phone, or find it later in your Library. ### The by-hand way, with the exact prompts The one-tap flow runs this prompt for you. The video prompt animates your own photo directly. To change it, copy it and edit it in AI Video. Settings: 1 photo (you, face clear) · genjutsu-motion · 13 s · 480p · 9:16 · no sound · 168 credits in one tap. 1. The video prompt is filled in. Settings: genjutsu-motion, 13 s, 480p, 9:16, sound off. The video prompt: ```text Replace the young woman with long dark wavy hair who stands on the subway platform and looks at her phone with the person from image 1: keep that face, hair and skin tone exactly, in every outfit. Take only the face, hair and skin tone from image 1, never the clothes: in every shot the person wears the outfit of the video. Keep every outfit, every outfit change hidden by a passing train, the phone in her hand, the tiled platform, the yellow edge strip, the trains, the light, the motion and the camera of the video. ``` 2. Press Generate, then download the 9:16 MP4. One-tap version of this variant: https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/subway-outfit-change-ai-trend/create ### Which photo works best? Use **one sharp photo with your face clear and big enough to see well**, from the waist up or closer. The video shows you full length across the tracks, so your face is small in the frame. A clear, front-facing face keeps you looking like you in every outfit. - The four outfits come from the reel or from your own words, never from your photo. MakeViral first makes a close portrait from your photo, so only your face and hair go into the video. - Face visible: no sunglasses, no hat, no heavy filter. - Daylight or a bright room. Any background works; the video sets the platform. - One person per photo. - Use your own photo, or one of an adult who said yes. Never a celebrity or a stranger. ## How many credits does it cost? You pay per video in credits, and the create page shows the exact price on the Generate button before you spend anything. The one-tap price covers the scene photo and the video, charged once. The cheaper models are there if you run the prompts by hand in AI Video. | Video model | Settings | Credits | | --- | --- | --- | | Genjutsu Motion (this template) | 13 s, 480p, copies the trend clip, one tap | 168 | Credits come with a plan; see [pricing](https://www.makeviral.ai/pricing). A failed video gives its credits back. ## How does the subway outfit change work? The train is the edit. The camera stands still on the far side of the tracks and films you full length on the platform. You stand calmly and scroll your phone. Then a silver train rushes through the frame between you and the camera, and for a second or two you are hidden behind its doors and windows. That is where the cut hides: when the last car is gone, you are back in the same spot in a new outfit. Our template copies Diana Qeblawi's reel from 15 October 2026: 13 seconds, four looks and three trains. First Nano Banana 2 makes a close portrait from your photo, so only your face and hair go into the reel. Then Higgsfield Genjutsu puts you in place of the woman in the reel, shot by shot, so every train passes and every outfit changes exactly where it does in the original. Your face, hair and skin tone come from your photo. The outfits, the white-tiled platform and the trains come from the reel. With **Your outfits** you write your own look for any of the four. MakeViral first changes those looks in the reel itself (FLUX.3 Edit Video), so the new outfits still appear behind the trains, and then puts you in. It is an NYC subway lookbook in 13 seconds, without the trip, the trains or the four changes of clothes. ## Which looks are in the video, and can you write your own? The reel's four looks, in order: 1. A black halter jumpsuit with flared legs and white sneakers. 2. A black turtleneck, a grey pleated mini skirt, sheer black tights and black heels. 3. A burgundy leather jacket with matching leather shorts, a burgundy handbag and pointed heels. 4. A black blazer over a white crop top, with black wide trousers. The model redraws the clothes on your body, so small details can change from run to run. The cut and the colors of each look stay close to the reel. **Your outfits:** on the create page, open Your outfits and write any look you want, for example "Denim jacket and jeans" for outfit 1 or "Red dress with red high heels" for outfit 3. Name the clothes, the colors, the shoes and the bag. Every look you leave empty stays as in the reel, so you can change one look or all four and try your own subway style before you wear it. A written look costs a few credits more, because MakeViral first changes the outfits in the reel itself. Logos, brand names and copies of famous characters are left out. Each of the reel's looks is a subway outfit for women. A man can write four looks of his own, but the body and the pose stay the reel's, so the result fits women's styling best. ## Which sound should you post it with? There is no one song for the subway trend. The reel we copy uses an original sound, @joewoahy's subway clip used a mashup sound, and train transition reels use whatever is trending that week. Your video comes with the original sound of the reel it copies, so it is ready to post. You can turn the sound off on the result screen. The sound belongs to its owners, and MakeViral gives you no rights to it. To use a trending sound, add it in TikTok, Instagram or YouTube when you post, from their licensed library, and lower the original sound. **Hashtags:** #subwayoutfit and #traintransition are the tags of the trend, and #subwaystyle and #outfittransition reach a wider fashion audience. ## What can go wrong, and how do you fix it? This version is new, and we have not run it with test photos yet. It uses the same setup as our ceiling fan template, which kept the person the same in all four looks in our tests. These are the problems to look out for: | What goes wrong | Why | What to do | |---|---|---| | The face looks less like you | The face is small in a full-length shot | Use a sharp, front-facing photo with the face big and in good light, then run it again. | | The last look is short | In the reel the fourth look shows for about a second and a half | That is the reel's timing. Write your strongest look as outfit 2 or 3. | | An outfit detail differs from the reel | The model redraws the clothes on your body | That is normal. The cut and the colors stay close to the reel. | | The clip looks soft on a big screen | Genjutsu makes 480p video | It is made for a phone screen, where 480p looks fine. | | A written outfit looks a little different from your words | The model draws the look in the reel's pose and light | Name fewer things, for example a color and one piece of clothing, and run it again. | ## Subway Outfits trend questions ### What is the subway outfit change? It is a fashion clip with an outfit change when the train passes: you stand on a subway platform and look at your phone while a train rushes past between you and the camera, and each time it clears, you wear a new outfit. People also call it the subway outfit transition, the subway transition, the train transition or "every train, a new outfit". ### How do I make the subway outfit change with AI? Press "Create your own" on this page, add one photo with your face clear and press Generate. MakeViral puts you into a subway outfit reel, so every passing train brings a new look. You write no prompt, and the ai subway video lands in your Library as a vertical MP4. To pick your own looks, open Your outfits first. ### What is the subway trend on TikTok? The subway trend on TikTok is a still pose on a subway platform while a train rushes by, as in @joewoahy's "pov: you tried the subway trend" (1.3 million plays). The subway outfit change adds a new outfit after every train. It builds on the subway fit check, where creators film their everyday outfit on the platform. ### How do you film a train transition for real? Stand on one platform and put the phone on a stand on the opposite platform, pointing at you, never on the platform edge. Film one take per outfit in the same spot, then cut the takes together in an editor on the frames where a passing train covers you. It takes many takes and many trains, which is why most people use AI for train transition reels. ### Can I choose the outfits? Yes. Open Your outfits on the create page and write your own look for any of the four, for example "Black leather jacket and boots". A look you leave empty stays as in the reel. MakeViral changes those looks in the reel first, so each new outfit still appears behind a passing train. ### What subway outfit works best for the video? Looks that contrast hard: a sleek jumpsuit, a short skirt with tights, a leather set, a sharp suit. A train transition outfit reads best when the color and the shape change at every train. The reel's four looks are a good start for NYC subway fashion, and you can write any NYC subway outfit you saw into Your outfits. ### Does it show a real subway line? No. The video shows a generic white-tiled platform with a yellow edge strip and silver trains in motion blur, with no readable line names, station signs or transit logos. ### How long is the video? 13 seconds, vertical 9:16 at 480p, with the reel's original sound: four looks and three trains. It takes a few minutes, and you can leave the page while it runs: the finished clip waits in your Library. ### Does the subway outfit video cost credits? Yes. Each video costs credits, and the create page shows the exact price on the Generate button before you spend anything. Your own outfits cost a few credits more, because the reel is changed first. If a video fails, the credits come back. ### Can I post my subway outfit video on TikTok or Instagram? Yes. The MP4 has no watermark, so you can post it to TikTok, Reels or Shorts as it is. The reel's sound belongs to its owners: check the platform's music rules before you use the clip in an ad. Keep the platform's AI label on, and tag it #subwayoutfit or #traintransition. ## Other AI video templates and tools - [Escalator Outfit Change AI: A New Look With Every Ride](https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/escalator-outfit-change-ai-trend): The camera looks straight down at a long moving escalator.
