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 love blazers. I have 3 different ones with short sleeves in red, blue, and yellow. I love pairing them with casual clothes and shorts.

    I have a harder time remembering the Shoe Theory. I tend to pick them based on color; I love when shoes are the same color as a top.

        I love cap sleeves, and managed to find a great one in my size on poshmark.

        The others I bought from Goodwill. The sleeves weren’t short enough for me, so I altered them . I try to find ones that cinch in at the waist to give me the illusion of a figure. So it depends on what part of them isn’t working for you.
