2018 gave us some very bizarre fashion trends - and it looks like 2019 is set to be no different.

It seems the latest fashion fad is giant, human-sized backpacks - and we are baffled.

The - are getting a lot of hype in Japan and are currently on sale at Japanese retailer, Plywood.

According to the brand, the rucksacks - named "Backpacker's Closet" - are perfect for camping and ideal for the storage of clothes.

They even suggest using the backpacks as an alternative wardrobe - and at 180L and 100cm, they're certainly big enough.

The backpacks are available in three different colours: beige, olive and black.

Naturally, they're more expensive than standard rucksacks and are priced at around £190 - before shipping from Japan.

And while some people might end up using the backpack as a second wardrobe - or for storage - the brand say they are actually designed to be used as a bag.

At 1.6kg, a third, middle strap has been added to reduce stress on the back and shoulders.

There's also padding for extra comfort.

The backpacks have been hugely popular online - especially in the sandy beige colour - which means they're sadly sold out.

According to the website, they are set to be restocked.

So if you fancy investing in a portable wardrobe, we would recommend checking back regularly.
