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.

Karoline Leavitt Gives Bonkers Excuse After Trump Is Spotted With Massive Bruise On His Left Hand

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was called out after she gave a dubious excuse for what happened to President Donald Trump after he was spotted at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Thursday with a large bruise on his left hand.

Last year, rumors swirled that Trump was on his deathbed after he wasn't seen for several days and the White House cancelled his public appearances, a development that fueled speculation in large part because of Trump's recent health problems, which include a diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency and sightings of a harsh bruise on his right hand.
