Disco Tits Are the Breast Glitter Trend So Far and We Want to Join The Party

Since the beginning of time (i.e. the birth of Instagram), females everywhere have been forced to come up with creative ways to get past social media's not-so female-friendly nipple ban. But while the free-the-nipple mob continue to campaign for the non-offensive baring of women's breasts on social media, the unicorn-inclined are bejewelling their boobies in this titillating trend that's aptly nicknamed 'disco tits' - will you be joining the breast party ever?

If 2016's taught us anything, it's this: if in doubt, throw glitter at it. First came bejewelled beards which spawned every type of Instagrammable hair-trend imaginable: no body part was off limits. From twinkling roots to sparkling armpits, if it's hairy, shiny and at least three people in your Instagram feed were photographing it, it was a trend (albeit briefly).

Fast forward to September's Paris Fashion Week SS17 and the humble nipple pasty was given a much-needed makeover thanks to Yves Saint Laurent's newest recruit - boob boss and creative director Anthony Vaccarello.

Mr. Vaccarello encouraged girls everywhere to get their tits out in the name of 'fashion' as his titillating debut saw bejewelled-boobed models shimmy down the catwalk, with only heart-shaped, diamanté-encrusted pasties protecting their modesty, much to the confusion of the prudish Parisian style set.

If you're thinking this is a temporary trend reserved only for exhibitionists and Essex-based reality TV stars, you're wrong as this month's Coachella Festival proved. Personally, the only situation in which I can picture getting away with all but exposing my nipples is at a festival that you have no risk of bumping into a relative.

But if you do fancy braving the boob equivalent to the vajazzle, Instagram is jam-packed with all the breast disco-tit inspiration a girl could ask for thanks to glitter gangs The Gypsy Shrine and Go Get Glitter who have single-handedly transformed this catwalk oddity into the thing this festival season.
