Summer clothes are not so bright and beautiful this year. Look around you on any train and you’ll see mostly dark brown, navy blue, and black punctuated with tan and white. I’ve noticed a fair amount of a subdued blue-green, as well.
Two years ago, everyone was dressed in orange and fucshia. What happened? Is this a “sophisticated” summer season? Is the bad economy dulling fashion? Did the fabric factory have an excess of black dye in stock?
Maybe everyone is waiting until tsuyu is over before wearing their bright summer clothes.

I’m wearing one of those sundresses that isn’t much of anything to speak of, and is a tangle to get into with all the little strings. It’s colorful though - mint green background with little red, green and yellow flowers printed on it. I’ve had it for four years, and I don’t care if it’s out of fashion! It’s cool.
