Instagram users wear pillows as DRESSES in quarantine style challenge

The hashtag #quarantinepillowchallenge has taken off on Instagram over the past few weeks as more and more people are self-isolating at home 

To complete the challenge, people simply have to belt a stuffed pillow to their front, to make it look like a dress that has been belted at the waist 

Some people have used plain white pillows, while others have opted for more colorful or even textures designs 

More than 4,800 people have posted images of themselves using the hashtag

With millions of people around the world currently quarantining at home amid the coronavirus pandemic, casual clothing and comfy loungewear has seen a serious spike in popularity. 

But one new Instagram trend is really taking self-isolation style to a whole new level of comfort, with quarantined social media users turning their pillows into dresses using just a belt. 

Using the hashtag #quarantinepillowchallenge, dozens of fashion-forward Instagrammers have flaunted their just-rolled-out-of-bed looks, with many choosing to accessorize their comfortable ensembles with designer handbags, high heels, and even some statement jewelry. 

Some have also chosen to add some extra flair to their pillow dresses by using textured or colored fabric, with woman posing in a white shaggy design, while another went for a bright orange pillow.  

Others have added some juxtaposition to their images by wearing their bed linen in an outdoor setting, including one chic Instagrammer who donned her pillow dress to pose on a rather fancy-looking balcony. 

Indeed it seems the only requirements for this challenge are a pillow - and a body to belt it to.
