The Watermelon Dress Is Summer’s Newest Fashion Craze
Fashion changes with the seasons.
Sometimes crop tops are in, sometimes it’s all about gladiator sandals, colored aviators, or another kind of look entirely. But this summer, it’s all about the watermelon dress.
If you’ve perused Twitter lately, you know that this isn’t actually a wearable fashion trend, but rather a social media craze where you craft a dress out of a slice of watermelon and hold it up to make it seem as if the person in the photo is sporting the outfit. Check it out:

The best part about this look is that you have a delicious snack on hand in the event that you get hungry.
