Mermaid Bums are the HOTTEST glitter trend this season

The return of festival season can only mean one thing – glitter bums are back.

With Coachella a matter of days away, various sparkly looks have begun springing up on Instagram.

And one of the most eye-popping looks as been inspired by mermaids.

So would you be brave enough to give this a go?

Go Get Glitter is the brains behind Mermaid Bums.

The popular retailer, which sells all manner of glitzy products, debuted the cheeky design on Instagram.

They shared a picture of a bedazzled bum, which was covered in turquoise gemstones, sparkles and tiny pearls.

Scalloped shorts accompanied the look, further adding to the beachy vibe.

The image was captioned: “Sun’s out… and so is our inner mermaid.

“Coachella we’re coming for you!”

In a matter of days, the snap has racked up 4,400 likes.

Dozens of fashion fans also took the time to leave a comment, with many remarking that they were big fans of the mythalogical look.

One responder wrote: “Amazing.”

Another said: “Those shorts are cute as f***.”

A third replied with heart eye emojis, before adding: “Um. Yes!”

If you’re hoping to try out the trend, replicating it is a doddle.

After picking out a pair of rear-exposing shorts, get a pal to cover your cheeks in body glitter.

Next, pop on some silver and turquoise gemstones to replicate mermaid scales.

For a final flourish, add some pearl details to evoke images of the sea.

You’re then all set to party the night away at your favourite festival or music event.
