It would seem no item of clothing is safe from the ‘upside down’ trend.
After FEMAIL reported that Australian women were inverting their bikinis to amplify cleavage, New York-based vintage shop CIE began selling ‘upside down’ jeans.
The eccentric denim feature pockets, belt holes and seams at the base of the trousers and are a one-of-a-kind design.

But they don’t come cheap: the shorts version are selling for $516 and the full length are $671.
Surprisingly the internet has taken kindly to the new style of pants, praising them for being ‘cool’.
‘Wow, upside-down denim shorts… time to buy,’ one person wrote on Twitter.

The look has been copied on and off the runway to varying degrees of success – with some people complaining it’s difficult to keep your chest from ‘falling out’
In a similar vein a thread on Pinterest was showing women how to turn a men’s button up shirt upside down by tying the sleeves around the waist like a belt.

Down Under the style has taken off in the form of bikini’s.
Australian swimwear label Cantik posted an image of a model wearing an ‘upside down’ swimsuit, asking their followers whether they would be brave enough to try it themselves.
Unlike the traditional triangle bikini top the suit leaves a gaping hole in the middle of your chest – highlighting cleavage and underboob more than ever before.

The trick? You can create an ‘upside down’ bikini with any of the tops already in your wardrobe.
Believed to be invented by Italian model Valentina Fradegrada the wearer simply ties a knot at the top of their chest with the halter straps and separates the ‘triangle’ portion of the material more than usual.
The only issue is that the bust is the only thing holding the bikini together – it isn’t supported by the straps.

So one rogue wave in the ocean would be enough to dislodge that tiny thread of fabric.
Some people were astounded by how enhanced it made their chest look, calling it an ‘instant boob job.’
But others were less convinced by it and said the style could only suit people with ‘specific breasts.’
So far the girls involved all appear to be from Europe, and specifically, Italy
‘My boobs would fall into the hole,’ one woman remarked.
‘Possibly the stupidest thing I’ve seen all day,’ another said, adding ‘it’s absolutely ridiculous.’
Valentina, the self-dubbed creator, has started an Instagram titled ‘Upside Down bikini’ to showcase other wearers of the fashion.
