Most people will not look good in the corals, teals, and lime greens that are this year's must-haves.
It's like they put shots of ugly juice in the fabric dyes!
Jayne: Well... I don't like the idea of someone hearin' what I'm thinkin'. Inara: No one likes the idea of hearing what you're thinking.

Spike's Bitches 22: You've got Angel breath
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

If I only had a brain...
What colors do people wear in the tropics, by choice? Is there a winter season and a summer season?

I'd say if you don't feel up to going tonight, you're fine staying home, Lyra.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What are these winter and summer words that you use?
I'd say in general, business wear is more muted (I dressed for my one Jamaican business meeting in bright red, and my father winced), but casual wear is jarringly bright to the First World eye. But the colours are deep and almost royal -- our yellows are gold, our greens forest. And then it devolves into cacophony.

Thrive to spite them
Lane Bryant got hit by the Easter Basket explosion as well.
The last time I was in there (which was the first week of Feb) everything was the most hideous shade of green. Pants and Jackets and...ugh. And these horrid floral patio furniture prints.

Teal is back? Oh, cool! I actually look good in teal. Or is it a bad teal?

When I was in Hawaii in December I couldn't find anybody selling shorts at the mall (except in the super beachy tourist stores...and those shorts were too tiny for me). The Old Navy and the Gap, for example, were selling the same things they were selling in Baltimore for the fall. You know--sweaters. I asked a Gap employee if they had any shorts in stock and he looked at me like he'd never heard of such a thing. I said, "You know SHORTS like you wear when it's 80 degrees out...like it is here right now!"
It was baffling and annoying. The best my friend who lives there and I could guess was that they were selling to foreign tourists. But I would have thought they have Old Navies in Japan and Australia or whatever. Maybe not though. Or maybe it's much more expensive there?
eta -- I know that doesn't have anything to do with seasonal colors...it just has been bugging me.

And neutrals -- let me not forget the colours I don't wear -- linens and cotton weaves in whites and beiges.
