Good Enough to Print

In a world that's always connected to the wall so that it can televise, print, scan, brew, and microwave from a single app, it is rarely silent. New mobile devices and wearable technologies have even ruined the quietude of the national park with every click, text, and streaming video pointed directly to the social media sky just beyond the top of the Grand Tetons.

With life and all of its distractions, it's no surprise that prints have blown up in such a big way during this warm-weather season. Because our clothes have to be loud too. Sneakers not meant for running are made of metallic pythons and super reflective neon that even color-blind dogs can identify as fluorescent pink.

All of life's distractions have alienated people. So when they do have to interact in the real world, they need "statement pieces" to make every moment count.

So make that print count.

YES
One print or statement piece is all you need for Instagram. Wearing a print from head-to-toe is one way to look like walking wallpaper. I like to wear tone on tone. This means, I will wear a navy blue floral shirt with a navy suit. Keeps it simple but interesting.

NO
Prints don't have to be on the outside. If you're shy, you can try it in small doses as the inside lining of your coat or as trim on your cuffs or collar.

MAYBE
You think prints are for sissies. And you're a man! This is all fine and dandy, but just remember that cammo counts as a print.
