: I think 'gaudy' is a criticism, ie is pejorative, and unlikely to be used in this way. it also sounds a bit too Shakespearean to me - thinks Malvolio's cross-gartered yellow stockings./Sorry, but as a BENS I call tell you that it is.

I don't think 'gaudy' is pejorative. Just try googling 'gaudy'+'fashion'...

I have googled some fahion pages, and **bright** is used a lot (along with **buttercup**, **lemon**, **canary**, ...which I suppose are a little too tame ;-)
Something went wrong...
