<div class="Figure-content"><figcaption class="Figure-caption"><p>Monica Speight, 63, from New Jersey, smiles on “Tan Suit Day” at the John Lewis Plaza on the Obama Presidential Center campus in Woodlawn on Friday. To her, a tan suit means “Individual choices, like don’t be scared to step out of the box,” she said. “I worked in finance for years, and it’s traditional black, blue, or brown suits. So for someone to wear tan, it’s like I’m gonna do my own thing, like the Obamas did.”</p></figcaption><span class="line"></span><div class="Figure-credit"><p>Pat Nabong/Sun-Times</p></div></div>
