Why timing matters for fashion on TikTok

The first 60 minutes after posting determine roughly 80% of a video's success. TikTok tests with a small group, and strong watch time, likes, comments, and shares trigger broader distribution.

Peak during lunch (12-2 PM) and evening (7-9 PM) on weekdays. Sunday is uniquely strong as users plan outfits for the coming week. Saturday 11 AM is a secondary peak for weekend inspiration.
