My mother always asked, ‘if they jump off a cliff, would you?’ And the answer is invariably yes. I’m a sheep, I admit it. And, it seems I’m not the only one as there is a contentious trend spreading like wildfire, burning bridges and sweeping up Instagram influencers in its wake. Officially, the brand behind the trend, Oresund Iris, like to call it a structured corset, I, however, am inclined to name it a ‘boob shelf’. It’s an anti-bra, a boob-less corset, an accessory for your t-shirt you never knew you needed. As bizarre as it is some of the trendy elite have been spinning it into a wardrobe staple. Thoughts?

If I didn’t know better, I would say Olivia Perez (aka Bella Hadid’s BFF and founder of Friend of a Friend) was wearing space age vintage Pierre Cardin from the 60s. But, I do, and she’s actually modelling Oresund Iris’ boobless bra in white with a Misha Nonoo skirt and Dear Frances boots.

Sami Miro has not been cast in Stranger Things, but her outfit is straight-up upside down and back-to-front. For starters, is she wearing that Honda top the right way? Somehow, against all odds, she’s making it work.

Proof that this trend is not just for the fried egg-chested. Pulling an ironic move, Emily Ratajkowski showed feminists do wear corsets (even if its over, not under their clothes).
The ultimate manrepeller

Trust Leandra Medine to go full-throttle on a scary trend. Facing it off in the bright lights of daytime, she layered her black boob-free corset over a tight white t-shirt and with a Carrie Bradshaw-sized corsage.
