A new bizarre fashion trend suggests you may have been overlooking the ultimate clothing item, despite unwittingly bringing it home with you after every shopping trip.

People are stripping naked and posting photos of themselves wearing nothing but a plastic bag, as part of the latest social media sensation in Taiwan.

Men and women alike are thrilled with their latest garment, although the transparent bags leave absolutely nothing to the imagination.

It is particularly ‘cool’ to be seen flaunting a grocery bag from convenience store 7-Eleven, which seems to be a popular brand among plastic bag fans.

The near-naked posers make a true fashion statement by displaying the green logo across their bare chests with pride. 

The incredibly affordable hot look of this season is adaptable and chic – simply slip your arms through the plastic handles and go!

Perhaps the Taiwanese trend setters took inspiration from Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Australia in April.

The St George New Generation models strutted down the catwalk with plastic bags over their heads which proved to be a polarising accessory.

Most people are thrilled with the new trend of wearing plastic bags - except for these reluctant men
