Wearing Clothes the "Wrong" Way - Topic of the day 9/10/24
From pants as shirts to shirts as pants and more, what are some ways in which can or have worn clothes the "wrong" way for a fit? What led to you taking this leap? What are some of the benefits and some of the drawbacks in wearing clothes in non-standard ways?

there is no way to wear clothes wrong, cmv
like either your fit sucks as a whole or it doesn't
maybe I'm wrapping my brain back around to thinking that this is what the prompt is actually about anyways
applications of single garments and manners in which they're worn can be incongruous with the rest of the fit and thus lead to a bad fit
but you could switch them or switch everything else I guess
sometimes i wear tabis without the appropriate socks i just scunch up normal socks and keep it moving
Who hurt you
Some things that are "wrong" that lately have struck me as having potential:
- Boxer shorts or tucked in button downs sticking out of the bottom of tiny shorts
- Accessorizing by holding objects like a pink wig or a houseplant
- Prescription swimming goggles as glasses/tinted goggles as sunglasses
- Pressing wrinkles into garments (diy Prada)
wearing tabi socks in normal shoes just to feel a bit freaky
But fr I remember Charlie posting some ideas about wearing clothes the wrong way, someone could probably do some digging to find some. Examples include- wearing jeans with the legs over ones shoulder so it looks like a vest, wearing shirts backwards or upsidedown, creative use of boxers as Ply points out,
I’m a big fan of the two shirts skirt
long ago before i started learning about fashion and how things should fit i got myself a varsity jacket that i really like, problem is it's kinda huge on me and i look ridiculous in it (almost reaches to the top of the inseam of a jeans that i'm wearing, not to mention varsity jackets really don't fit my style). the benefit is that i'm wearing something i like and the drawback is that it looks pretty bad on me, even though i really like it
Wearing shirts as pants gives you a practical pooping hole 👍🏻
really digging the goggles thing. hits me with like…jet set radio future kinda vibes
An unpopular opinion of mine. I hate all the supposed rules for suits. If you look good, you look good. I don’t care if you have a certain button done up.
well that is because they're supposed
though if you wear a paisley suit to a formal event ur gonna get glared at and it's frankly probably deserved
:bartoascend:
Do you have an example of a suit fit breaking one of these rules that you think looks good?

I constantly steal valour in my fits, does this count
