“Watermelon dress” trend sweeps Japan 【Photos】

Babies, animals and popular Japanese idols get in on the hottest trend this summer.

When it comes to cooling down on a hot summer’s day, nothing beats the refreshing, juicy taste of a cold watermelon. Now, people around the world are discovering a new way to enjoy the fruit during the hottest months of the year, and this time it involves “wearing” a slice in the shape of a dress.

When humans have a slice of fruit in one hand and a camera in the other, cats and dogs are powerless to escape the powers of forced perspective.

One of the best parts about the new fad is the fact that after “wearing” the dress, you get to eat the cutely shaped watermelon too.

With at least two months of hot and humid weather ahead of us, it’s definitely not too late to join all the fun of this summer’s watermelon dress craze. The more creative the pose, the better, and if you’d like to add your photos to the Japanese collection of images, be sure to include the hashtag #スイカドレス (#WatermelonDress).
