Form and Function: How to Dress Like a Banana Suit Renovator

In the frozen tundra that is Syracuse, New York, you’d have to be out of your mind to let any tropical fruit go to waste. So, why throw out a perfectly good banana suit? If you bought your luxurious yellow suit solely for Lineleap’s Banana Bar Crawl back in October, you might as well fashion it into something more a-peeling. Grab a bunch of friends and take it back to the bars for a banana daiquiri or two!

BANANA SUIT CROP TOP: How you decide to upcycle your suit is what elevates your fit from a mere yellow crop-top to Top Banana. Are you gonna hand-sew an elegant corset or craft a  patchwork t-shirt? Whatever you choose, you’re sure to get extra brownie points if you feature the “67” your class crush scribbled.

BLUE JEANS: Sure,–you could deck yourself out in head-to-toe yellow, but why not stick to a tried-and-true classic when picking out your pants? Just don’t attempt the splits!

ORANGE GARNISH: Orange you glad we didn’t say banana?

BEER MUG: You’re gonna want a hefty cup for when you inevitably run into your ex-situationship. This shit’s about to get bananas–B-A-N-A-N-A-S!

BEAT-UP SNEAKS: Trust us, worn-out shoes are ripe for the job. You never know when you might slip on a banana peel!
