Wear color, wear freedom ~ Marimekko

As I walked through the streets of Helsinki,
People wearing Marimekko clothes,
People carrying tote bags on their shoulders,
There were so many.
It almost feels like you're buying something from Uniqlo or Muji.

An elderly woman,
Marimekko's iconic red Unikko pattern
She was wearing a short dress,
I saw a man in his 40s or 50s wearing black and gray Unikko denim.
As for eco-bags, everyone seems to have one now.

I didn't realize it was such a popular brand.

Regardless of age, many women wear bright colors.
My impression was that there weren't many people wearing dark colors like black.

It has a certain brightness to it.
It's not exactly glamorous either.
It's as if it's enveloped in a light, airy feeling.
I wear what I like, however I like.
That's all.

I bought a small pair of socks at Marimekko.
