Wondering how to write a good blog post title? Looking for ideas to spice up your written content? Want to be witty? Here are a few ways to incorporate fashion puns into your digital content.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Open any fashion magazine and it's loaded with wordplay – fashion puns. Just like many\u00a0blog names (check out our blog name generator<\/a> for quirky blog name ideas), these magazines title their stories “Into the Wild” for animal prints, “Chain Gang” for necklaces, trend pieces that lead off with “Enlist army green and black for your fall uniform…”. 80% of fashion copy has a double meaning (or at least a few fashion puns in the copy), a clever reference to something else, or a little joke all keep things fresh, even when you're talking about the same old-same old story.\u00a0 What can you possibly mean?<\/p>\n “Florals for spring? Shocking!” (Devil Wears Prada)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n I personally love puns and wordplay, being as my favorite joke starts with “Why is six afraid of seven?” The punchline also happens to be the number of my street address. The more playful you are the more your readers will come to enjoy your actual writing, rather than just the pictures.\u00a0 Being funny in your posts is can get dangerous . . . how many times has sarcasm been misinterpreted on the internet? So. Many. Times.\u00a0 There are indeed very few funny writers who can transmit their sarcasm, satire and wit across the digital divide. Puns, alliteration, and rhymes are actually quite simple, and the wider your knowledge of current events, culture and language the more you have to play with.<\/p>\n Here are some methods and resource for incorporating fashion puns into your blog's name, post title or even the actual content itself (remember, content is king, so don't scrimp!)<\/p>\n Who says the fashion industry doesn't have a sense of humor? Fashion loves a good pun. Granted, puns are the lowest hanging fruit on the comedy tree… but so is toilet humor, and we still giggle at it, no matter how old we get. Puns exploit multiple meanings of words, or similar sounding words to make a joke.\u00a0 Can you make up your own fashion pun? Of course! The instructions are easy… “To pun is to treat homonyms as synonyms.” says Walter Redfern<\/a><\/p>\n There are more types of puns, but this is probably the simplest to implement in blog posts.<\/p>\n Resources<\/strong>: Punoftheday.com<\/p>\n Alliteration is the “repetition of a sound in a series of words or phrases.” I was quite pleased with the alliteration of my married name, “Jennine Jacob” which played no small part in my taking my husbands name (yes, I am that<\/em> vain). It also sounds nice and, therefore, can be catchy. You can get carried away with alliteration quite easily because it only requires repetition of sounds. Considering how vast our language is, it's not hard to make alliteration work in almost any post.<\/p>\nPuns<\/h2>\n
