Much like its predecessors, it involves wearing a bag as a dress while trying to cover your modesty.
Fans of the new challenge have been raiding their cupboard for both plastic and brown bags, with a few bags for life in the mix.
Unlike the previous trends though, this one doesn’t require a belt, but you can accessorise it with one if you want.
The paper bags work quite well as fitted mini-dresses, while some women fashioned maxi-dresses by using a few bags at once.
One woman created an outfit out of a Primark bag - using the handles as straps - while another proudly rocked a plastic bag with a ten per cent sale sign on the front.
Sharing snaps of their outfits on Instagram, fashion fans dressed up their bags with a pair of trusty pair of heels and shades, not to mention a glass of wine as well
The hashtags #paperdresschallenge and #shoppingdresschallenge started popping up on social media, as bored people scoured their homes for anything they could turn into clothing.
Sharing their creation on , one woman said: “How do you like my new dress?
“Spring-summer2020.”
Another wrote : “I’m not bored, you are.”
While a third : “Quarantine outfit.”
But if you're after something a little more snug to liven up your Instagram feed, then scrap the paper bags and whip out the duvet instead.
Fashionistas have been turning their bedding into chic strapless dresses, securing them with chunky belts and adding some skyscraper heels into the mix.
Side note: this is a trend best enjoyed with a glass of wine too.
