Free sign upThe phrase "incongruous of" is technically grammatically correct, but it is not commonly used in modern written English.
It may sound awkward or outdated to some readers, and there are usually other ways to express the same idea more clearly and concisely. For example, instead of saying "The dress was incongruous of her usual style," it would be more common to say "The dress was incongruous with her usual style" or "The dress was incongruous to her usual style." These expressions are more commonly used and will make the sentence sound more natural. However, if you still choose to use "incongruous of" in your writing, be sure to use it in a clear and accurate way. Here is an example: - The bright pink paint on the old brick building was incongruous of the surrounding historical architecture.
