Fashionably Ironic...Don't You Think

Alanis Morrisette once sang an entire song about the ironies in life. See video here. And just like "rain on your wedding day" fashion has its own ironies. Here are some of my favorites:


Sneaky Suit Look: Yes, the sartorial 90's are back and I'm digging the classic Ellen Degeneres look for men. A well cut buttoned up suit paired with stylish sneakers is my kind of irony. This isn't going against my original rules where I said don't wear sneakers with a suit. Perhaps I should clarify that I was referencing the ugly/worn/smelly gym shoes shouldn't be worn with a suit. But classic Converse Chuck Taylor sneakers are better suited for a button down blazer than the treadmill at Ballys. Keep it that way.

 

Sweatsuits for Fatties aka Sweatxedos: There's something about seeing an overweight person wearing a designer sweat suit that has a better chance seeing the inside of a KFC than the inside of a weight room. It's even better when there's an ass slogan like "Princess" or "Juicy." It's the sweet delicious gift that keeps on giving. Some would say I'm fatist, I just like a good chuckle at the expense of stretch fabric pulled to its limits. Girl, you put the muffin on muffin top.

 

That Doctor is Smoking Hot: It's not really a fashion irony, but it does amuse me just as much as watching animals play a musical instrument. But there's something so funny about medical guys wearing their scrubs smoking a cigarette outside of the hospital. It's a well-known fact that doctors are the most unhealthy people. If you need proof just take a visit to their cafeteria and the only way you can tell the diabetes patients apart from the hospital workers is the scrubs they're wearing. It's like the magazine says..."they're just like Us!"

YES: Fashion ironies are fun for the whole family.

NO: Don't become one.

MAYBE: It's not ironic like a free ride when you're already there...I know Alanis was on to something.
