Hmmm...stores are advertising bland colors but Pantone’s color for spring 2017 are bright???

Here in Western Washington state the women wear black, grey, brown and off-white all year round.
Don’t know why that it is since it is so grey here one would think that bright colors would appeal.
No one will notice if they wear drab protest colors as they do that every year, every decade.
Perhaps we can inspire them to suicide. Stupid snowflakes.
Well, it’s noticeable that hardly any of them are smiling or looking happy.
You do realize that those clothes were picked by the buyers months ago - perhaps they were planning on Hillary’s election in which case the whole country would be in mourning? Lots of dark clothing this past winter too - I suspect just a cycle.
The 2017 Spring line was complete long before Trump was elected.
Horsehair shirts and skirts all around then.
“”...were planning on Hillary’s election in which case....””
Yhe Mao colors would be appropriate.
Goodie. Fashion thread. I was a little irritated with Vera Bradley putting out a Cuban themed pattern, but I could be over sensitive.
I like seeing women in bright spring colors. Especially in sunshine. Makes me smile and want to bow...
Odd. I worked in Manhattan for 20 years and never really noticed the colors, too busy on the legs :)
But now that I think of it, dark was the norm.
I still have whiplash from walking around during lunch :)
Under Franco, the communists wore black, especially the men. When Franco died and power shifted to the left, they started wearing more colorful clothes.
I do wear what I want.
I’m old enough to have learned to not care what others think of how I dress and I’m willing to sacrifice style for comfort any day.
That said, I am interested in checking out Ivanka’s line to see if there’s anything classy.
I’m not into potato sacks and won’t wear drab, boring colors.
By “wear what you want to” I was thinking of the way that the fashion industry drives what is produced, and a way that interested parties could step outside industry offerings and buy what they have not condoned. By purchasing hi-quality imported fabrics and designing/sewing some items, I was able to avoid pumpkin orange/brown ensembles overpopulating the retail industry one year. Looking at what’s available thus far, I may do it again.
I sew a lot as well but not clothes so much any more.
I’ll wear stuff from last year before going with some hideous new color that will be out by next season.
I will continue to shop at LL Bean as well.
For $500 bucks you can look like you live under an overpass and smell like a MacDonald’s dumpster soaked in urine.
