Suffragists demanded public attention by chaining themselves to railings outside government buildings. When you’re inspired to emulate them, agitate in style (and stay warm) with a long red cardigan. Dramatic diagonals on the edgings, split cuffs, and classic buttons draw the eye. No one can ignore you now!
