Since Naomi, Rita and Miley took to Instagram to show their Back Selfies, we’ve scrubbed, polished and posed - and now we want to know what’s next. Well, help is at hand because here at Instagram Pics Of The Day, we've rounded-up the 6 new Insta-trends that you need to try now...

1. The #TropicalTwinsies

Twinsies is going nowhere. And this summer it just got fiercer. We need look no further than our fave fashionista BFFs, Anna Dello Russo and Giovanna Battaglia, who have this down to a fine art. We're talking bright colour pops, identical power poses and lots of matchy-matchy prints. This is all about modeling H to T, with your loudest tropical prints.

2. The #SelfieSplice

Why settle for one pic of yourself when you can have three?! We’ve all done the split screen, but now it’s all about the Selfie Splice. One outfit and three facial expressions required. A girl has to know just how well she is rocking that outfit in all moods. Check out Beyonce Knowles’ happy/fierce/sultry face and Kim Kardashian’s, erm, neutral/placid/content face, for example.

3. The #Sleepie

Dragging ourselves out of bed on a Monday morning is hard enough without catching sight of a Sleepie on our Instagram feed from the likes of Alexa Chung and Kelly Osbourne, which are frankly just making us more sleepy. Zzzzzz.

4. The #MissingHead

Are you so over doing that duck face? Make like Lena Dunham, Jared Leto and Kendall Jenner by just cropping your head out. Everyone will see your cool clothes and you will appear hugely mysterious whilst not having to go anywhere near your mascara/concealor/hairbrush etc.

5. The #RetroSnap

Forget iPhone pics, this summer the stars are all grabbing a bunch of mates and piling inyo a photobooth. The high-contrast, bleached colours are super flattering - just ask Miley Cyrus and Harry Styles’ new girlfriend, Paige Reifler. And then there’s the Polaroid. The old school Polaroid camera is making a comeback, and whilst the film is a tad on the pricey-side, every snap you take will look like a piece of art (well, ish).

6. To #InfinityandBeyond

An oldie but a goodie. Our Instaz feeds are full of infinity pools and they are making us horribly jealous. Going on holiday? Is there an infinity pool within eyesight? Quick! Make like Li-lo, Caroline Sieber and co. and get snapping.

7. The #Rainbow

Whereas spring was all about #RainbowHair, summer is about rainbow coloured anything. We are talking flowers/nails/clothes/hair/actual rainbows. See hairstylist Sam McKnight’s rainbow flowers and Lily Allen’s rave-tastic manicure for inspiration.
