I think that the Ted Sabarese 'Officewear' photo series could inspire one of the best [April Fool's Day pranks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innocean-berlin) in an office ever. Imagine walking into a meeting and seeing a man walking past you in a [butt-scanned suit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dude-wipes-2)? Or perhaps being the head honcho in such an office and not getting the special memo?

That said, the Ted Sabarese 'Officewear' series is truly inspired. From [bubble-wrap pants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drip-fit) to wire cord dresses, the featured fashions are beyond words. I'm just glad they didn't create stapler suit, as that could have been potentially painful.
