Forget cute puppies and bathroom mirrors, the most stylish accessory you should aim for is a sturdy horizontal trunk.

Set your followers’ pulses racing by hoisting your half-naked body around the woody object and holding your most provocative pose.

Extra points if you show off your peachy derriere wearing just a thong bikini.

Celebs and bloggers have rushed to show off their junk on their trunk, including the likes of Georgia Toffolo and even supermodel Karlie Kloss.

Love Islanders Kady McDermott and Kaz Crossley are used to looking at home in a beachy setting, and also hunted out a hard trunk to get up close and personal to.

One follower commented on Kaz's snap saying: "Captivating in every sense of the word" and another bold person went as far as to joke: "I want to be that tree."

And wood you believe that actress Kate Bosworth and Made in Chelsea star Ashley James have also got in on the action.

Meanwhile TV presenter Vick Hope also proved she’s no basic-birch by uploading her own snaps of the cheeky tropical pose.
