Who knew that I would be wearing red pants this summer. Not just any red pants, mind you, but NANTUCKET red, which is a faded red. These pants are considered dress casual anywhere on the island. They might even rise to a more formal occasion...they're that important. There is one store that can call this color Nantucket Red, but there are several that sell the exact same color but call it all sorts of cutesy names. It's the same color and it comes in long and short pants, shirts, socks, belts, you name it. Men and women can wear it. It is usually worn alone or with one other accessory like a hat or socks. I have seen people dressed from head to toe in it but this is rare and "tacky." If you see someone anywhere else in the world and they are wearing pants this color, ask them how long they spend in Nantucket every year. They will smile and say "How did you know?"

Well well well, aren't we looking fabulous! Hmm...I see a new poster boy for the line of Nantucket Red goodies. Nicely done.
