Washed Out Red

faded red

You’d think the bolder the better with our beloved primary colour red, but it seems that the faded has made a comeback. Rather than wearing your own aged and preloved shirts, you can now purchase high quality shirts lacking colour from fine retailers this season.

I’m personally not a fan of this frugal use of dye - who’s with me?

    Me neither…reminds me more of a pseudo-pink than a washed up red if I hadn’t known. i might rock it if it had some sort of texture, but wouldn’t be able to pull off vintage 80s with them though.

    I enjoy it. It allows subtle coloring in the workplace. With that said, the whole red idea isn’t something I’d like to explore. It does look like someone just decided to wash a red shirt with all your whites.

    Ah, pale shirt to compliment….pale skin? Not really, haha, I don’t think this can work on many people at all!
