You can find one in every class… the person who has to dress differently from everyone else. It’s not that people can’t have their own style. Nobody wants to wear the exact same thing as the person sitting next to her. But this person wears clothing that is so different that it’s a little crazy. These clothes are so unusual that you have no idea where he buys them or if he makes them himself. They’re totally off the wall.
Clothing isn’t the only thing that can be called off the wall. The way a person acts or his personality can be off the wall, too. The color of a house can be off the wall, and so can the weird and unusual bicycle sitting out front. To be off the wall means to be so unusual that it’s surprising, and perhaps a little strange, too.
American basketball player Kevin Durant describes his clothing as off the wall. He likes people to notice the way he dresses, so he’ll wear things to get their attention. For example, he might wear yellow socks with purple shoes. It’s just what he likes!
Do people describe you as off the wall? Do you think they’re right?
