A Really Funny Fit
It's Really Funny!
It has a special property to it, applied through a Magic enchantment, or more accurately, a curse. This curse is applied to the hat, but the hat is only a piece of the greater outfit to which it has bonded. What this does is force the people around the wearer to uncontrollably laugh.
Laugh Out Loud
The centerpiece of the Really Funny Fit is the magical item known as the Really Funny Hat. The Really Funny Hat is a circular hat of iridescent red, green, and magenta. When looking from some angles, it looks very different. The green has been known to look purple and even blue from some angles. The red portion, which makes up the actual hat itself, is a round shape that extends upwards from the brim, rounding up to connect with the other side in a circle. This leaves a large hole at the center of the hat. It is made of linen from the Elven Forest.The magenta of the hat comes from its garish bow, which sits at the very top of the hat. It is nearly as big as the hat itself and made of magenta Jing.
Around both the hat itself and the bow are green ribbons, made of the same fabric as the bow. It is circularly tied around these, and in some cases will blow in the wind enough to appear as if they are floating around the hat rather than being tied around it. The dyes that make the bright colors of the outfit come from a plant found deep in the Elven Forest, the Coloriant. The process requires bringing the plant to something of a similar color and extracting its dye with speed and precision before it turns into your skin color. Following the hat is the greater outfit. The outfit is that of a clown, with matching colors to the hat. Ruffles around the neck are a major part of it, along with long red and green stripes running up and down the outfit, and large curved shoes.
These shoes, like much of the outfit, are disjointed and uneven. The right shoe has a flat bottom and a large green pompom. On the right foot, a green sock is worn. However, there is no sock on the left; the pompom is much smaller (and purple now), and the bottom includes a heel. Both shoes are purple.
As with the shoes, the gloves are also uneven. Unlike the shoes, it is the left glove that is larger than the right. Both gloves are white and padded to be overly big, however the glove on the right still looks feasible for the size of a hand. The left, however, is comically large. Some parts, such as the shoes, are omitted in the case of the wearer being a Kenku or Dragonborn and being unable to fit in them. There is also the additional possibility of wearing a big red clown nose. Not all wearers of the Really Funny Fit wear this nose, but some comedians say it is a necessity. These are called Fun Purists. They're not very fun.
The Funniest People in the World
During the Grand Wizard Struggle, the Dragonborn were in a time of crisis. The position of Grand Wizard was losing its status, as Dragonborn kept finding gimmicks to kill them and take their place. Instead of wanting to fix this, a Dragonborn from the Bardic village of Ealla thought this would be the perfect opportunity to get his name out there. Vimbish Baxcol, also known by the Dragonborn Nickname of the Funster, was known for his terrible jokes.Of course, this was not his intention.
Or maybe it was, he was a sick bastard sometimes, so it could've been one big joke.
But at least publicly, his goal was to become Grand Wizard to reach a wider audience and make more people laugh. To reach his goal, Vimbish needed a gimmick all his own to seize power for himself. Something... funny.
Properties
The magical properties of the hat are what makes this outfit special. With it, they are able to make people around them laugh. It is controlled by how funny the wearer believes they are.The funnier they believe they are, the more they can control both whether people laugh and how large the radius around them is in which people laugh.
The minimum radius, for one who does not consider themselves humorous, is ten feet. If they are not funny in their own minds, they cannot control it, and people around them simply laugh. The intention behind the rest of the outfit, then, is to amplify the funniness of the wearer. Both by making others view them as crazy, and also in case they ever see themselves in a mirror and see what they are wearing.

This is a really interesting article! An outfit that forces people to laugh. I never would have thought of something like this! Great job.

Thank you! I tried to make an outfit that people would want to wear, but also one that would make some people kinda terrified of it, and this was the middle ground I found on that.
