We’re not quite into the guts of the 2016 presidential election, but we are eminently at the time where you will not be able to watch the news, listen to the radio or enjoy a stroll down a downtown street without being inundated with election propaganda. So let’s focus on a different kind of primary.
This series will be dedicated to one traditional color, and we’re kicking it off with red. Make a statement and layer on more than one piece in the chosen hue. What was formerly frowned upon (“matching”) is back in, and stacking on the gear all in one color – or different shades of the same color – makes an obvious but understated statement.
The Primaries: Red
Take a break from the presidential debates to focus on a different kind of primary (color that is).
