Meterse en caja fuerte
I thought this meant getting into a safe or a strongbox, but a friend of mine from Mexico used it today to remark on someone who was wearing mismatched colors - in that case brown socks with black shoes, but he said it can be used for any awkward clothing combination.
(???)

Hmmm... Nunca he oído "meterse", sino "estar/vestirse/andar de caja fuerte" porque sólo tú sabes la combinación que traes puesta.

No me extrañaría que hubiera una diferencia de uso... aparte de la evolución normal a lo largo del tiempo, los cambios de región también cuentan.

I have never heard that expression. I'll add it to my collection
" ¿Dónde es el carnaval? " It's my motto for teasing on fashion... a very worn out expression because of it's frecuent use all over the world. But classies taste better with repetition.
