Must See: Pillow (Challenge) Talk

Heard of the latest ’net buzz, the pillow challenge? Well, before you change that tab, this isn’t about making a pillow from scratch. In fact, this is a no-sewing, no-contouring, no-baking – basically a no-anything-too-taxing kinda challenge. All you need is you, some pillows, and boredom. Lots and lots of boredom.

Because clothes are so last non-COVID-19 season, this craze is all about suiting yourself up in, well, pillows. Here’s how: step one – strap a pillow (or two) to your waist to create a structured midi dress. Aaaand, that’s about it, really (although don’t forget the obligatory selfie).

In case you’re wondering, yes, your back is totally exposed, but thanks to careful photography, we are here for what’s going on in the front. Of course, feel free to accessorize your #pillowchallenge look with a bag, earrings, necklace…. Or nothing at all. The world of pillows is your oyster.

It’s not too late to join fashionistas and celebrities. We mean, you’re here for two more weeks, so, like, why not, right?  Jump onto the #pillowchallenge bandwagon and scroll down to see a few of the really interesting looks this fad has inspired.
