It’s no secret that we live in turbulent times. But instead of embracing the negativity and chaos, many people are doing the exact opposite: spreading positivity and optimism. Brands are using hope to connect with customers, and utilizing empowering graphics to share important messages. Bright colors and “super” graphics spread cheer while encouraging people to adopt an empowered attitude.

Among the positive messages out there, being yourself is becoming one of the most important trends. In the words of Mr. Rogers, “You are a very special person. There is only one like you in the whole world. There's never been anyone exactly like you before, and there will never be again. Only you. And people can like you exactly as you are.”

It’s our unique identities and styles that have become our individual you-niforms. By thinking about “custom” in a new way, you can make any style your own. In the work place, stereotypes are fading as men look for officewear that reflects personal fashion sense over “tried and true” standards; and personal attitude, rather than age, determines what to wear and how to style it.

In a world where you can be anything, be happy, be kind, and be you!
