Who doesn't love a theme party?

When you not only get to dress up in something completely over the top, but also get to bear witness to everyone else's zany outfits in-keeping with the party's theme.

Be it Regency era, glam rock, or fairy tale villains.

Or what if the challenge is just to be blatantly inappropriate?

A theme which got the imagination of Redditor StockD0ctorStockD0ctor running wild, resulting in their taking to Reddit to ask:

"You are going to a party. The theme is dress inappropriately. Who or what do you dress as?"


And not on your foot, one imagines...

"Nothing but a tube sock."- Sanguiniutron

Reverse Psychology

"Dress normally, because if the theme is to dress inappropriately, and you dress appropriately, technically you're the one being inappropriate for the occasion."- GoAwayImHereForMemes

"I've actually been in a completely opposite situation."

"Was invited to a art exhibition, came in well dressed. It was basically porn but the person I went with forgot to mention that."

"I felt very malplace standing around people wearing next to nothing."

"So I would probably do that again because what's more inappropriate than being appropriate at an inappropriate event?"- cccantyousee

"I mean, if dressing inappropriately is the appropriate attire, then dressing appropriately would be inappropriate for the party, thus, making it appropriate."

"Now that I think about it, it's an unsolvable paradox."

"You could never appropriately dress inappropriately."- MUNKIESS

It's all in the details

"A suit."

"With the pants cuffs rolled up, wearing tevas with gym socks."- BitPoet

And they say you can only wear it once...

"Bridal gown."- fromhelley

Depends on your surroundings...

"Imma wear a parka."

"In South Texas."

"In August."- Ahshalon_Tenisk

The question is, what aren't you wearing...

"Nothing I'd just show up in lingerie."- cloboehobo

Wrong on so many levels...

"A two sizes to small wrestling singlet, and crocs."- thirdtimer_2020

There's little more fun than facing the challenge of dressing to impress.

Or, in this instance, un-dressing to impress.

And if you are greeted by a round of shocked expressions, you know your choice of outfit was a success.

People Share Purchases Under $20 That Made Their Lives Way Easier

Sometimes, in an effort to improve our lives in some capacity requires us to make a significant dent in our bank account.

Even though it might be yogurt for dinner for a few weeks after, we still feel good about our expensive purchases when we see the difference a high-powered washing machine makes, or feel the cool air from our upgraded air conditioner.

Man Goes Viral After 3D-Printing A 6-Pound Phone Case To Combat Screen Addiction

Many Millennials will remember back in the nineties as the last of the "latchkey kids" who were prominently babysat by their televisions, and the commercials that rolled out, made popular on Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, promoting kids to go play outside instead of watching TV all day.

Now in 2025, videos on Instagram and TikTok encouraging people to "pause their scroll" and to "put down their phones" are becoming more common and popular, because people are realizing how detrimental our increasing screen time is to our emotional, physical, and psychological health.

Woman Sparks Heated Debate After Encouraging People To Smile At Walmart Greeters

There's an old saying that goes, "It costs nothing to be kind."

Smiling at a stranger, saying hi back to a young and socialable child, holding a door for someone, and maybe even exchanging a pleasantry or two at the checkout line costs nothing more than a few words passing our lips and showing a little kindness.
