Feeling bored with your wardrobe but don’t want to spend money on new clothes? The Wrong Shoe Theory suggests pairing the most unexpected pair of shoes you have with your outfit to change the whole vibe. Examples include wearing flip-flops with tailored pants, combat boots with a summer dress, or bright colored loafers with a muted suit.
Wrong Jacket Theory works the same way, pairing things you wouldn’t normally think go together, like a blazer with t-shirt and shorts, or a jean jacket with a nice dress.
Have you guys tried either of these? What combos do you like?
I think I do the wrong jacket theory fairly often. I love mixing up smarter jackets with a casual style. I especially love wearing my tweed jacket with short pants and sneakers, goes nicely with plaid shirts as well.
I don’t have a big enough selection of shoes at this point for the wrong shoe theory but I think I do this with socks sometimes. One of my favourites is wearing my Superman sucks (bright blue, red and yellow) with an otherwise all black outfit lol.
