Seeing The Light Of Day
As something that, years ago, would have caused a national outrage, 2005’s flip-flop debacle sparked a halfhearted debate at best. Capitol Hill might disagree, but the standards for what’s “appropriate” and “acceptable” are, on the whole, loosening up.
COMING OUT PARTY
Much to the joy of the promotional products industry, comfort and sleepwear items are joining flip-flops in redefining conventional standards for tolerable everyday wear. And if past precedents are to be believed, there’s no telling just how long this trend will prevail. Take the rise of jeans from working man’s must-have to all-encompassing style staple. While it’s safe to say Levi Strauss himself couldn’t have predicted today’s designer denim fetching prices in the hundreds of dollars, nary a crystal ball could foretell that flannel and jersey would become daytime fare, either.
