The item of clothing that’s massive on Instagram right now

It might not be the most practical thing to wear (given the current weather situation anyway) but it’s gorgeous all the same.

Say hey to the backless sweater because if it’s not already in your wardrobe, it really should be.

Of course, one way to tell if a trend is really taking off is how it’s doing on Instagram and this one is particularly popular.

Now I must warn you that the below Insta posts are likely to make you want to go shopping. Immediately. Straight away. Right now. Out the gap.

Happy spending…
