I have no fear of pink... I wear pink ocbds, pink ties, pink pants, pink socks, etc. etc. (just not all at the same time. I don't want to look like a 250lb bottle of pepto bismol)

 

So say we all!

 

This man doesn't. One of the things I most enjoyed about teaching sixth grade vs. fifth was that the girls by that time had gotten over their obsession with pink. It helped me see them eye-to-eye . . . though I did have to bend down to do it. Peach, I'll do. Pink, I avoid.

 

I've come to terms with pink, I have a couple of pink shirts after hating them for years but I think lavender is over the top.

 

I don't mind pink. It doesn't work well with most of the colors I tend to wear, though. I think I have a pink oxford and...... Well, there might be some pink in an old tie I have somewhere.

 

Pink (or peach) works well with both greys and blues. Brown shades and greens are less successful. And as for maroon . . . *shudders visibly*

 

greens are less successful.

I'd give my eye tooth (The real one or the fake one?) for this sweater if they had it in my size!

And wear it tomorrow with my loden colored duffle coat.

 

I have only one pink shirt, a RL Polo OCBD it's just a very tricky colour with my ruddy Anglo-Scots- Scandinavian complexion. Pink usually shows up as an accent colour in my shirts and ties.

 

I have no problem wearing pink just as long as it's not ALL Pink from head to toe.

 

You could break up the monochromatic scheme with a black belt and black shoes. Try it out and tell us how it works (we will need pics).

I have a thrifted, pink ocbd made by Nautica (from their "heritage" brand - of which I can't find anything online about) and rock it frequently with navy chinos. I also have some J.Crew fake, washed, nantucket red shorts that I wear almost all summer long.

 

About a year ago, wearing a pink shirt, tie, and pocket square (as well as a pink belt, pink shoelaces, and pink socks), standing in front of something red.........

 

I have one pink OCBD that I like to use for layering - gives certain sweaters a more interesting look. I find that if I wear it without something over it, my tshirt is too visible underneath - bothers me a bit.

I do think a pink shirt looks great with a blue blazer, chinos, and penny loafers.

I'd pay to see that.

Politics aside,

SNAZZY!

 

So say I!

Both pink and peach are far underrated and underused in American men's clothing.

Good article and blog. Thanks for the link. They really need to change the background of the text in that blog to something other than gray to make it easier on the eyes, maybe pink?

 

Big fan of pink - but my casper the friendly ghost complexion doesn't love it. That said, I'll wear a pink OCBD under a grey sweater so that the pink doesn't completely wash my face out (which many would say would be a good thing), but the flash of color looks good. And pink and grey is one of my favorite color combinations - I'll go so far as to call it a classic.

 

I have a Polo Ralph Lauren OCBD in pink.. I thought it was red but with the red/white weave it looks very pink. I usually wear it with navy chinos, a sweater and penny loafers, or with khaki chinos, a tie, and a navy blazer to work. Outside of that I have a pink Ralph Polo that I wear on a casual weekend or in the summer. Overall, I'm a big fan of the pink look - it makes you stand out because most guys don't or won't wear pink.

 

I prefer to wear my pink shirts with navy suits and blazers. Looks great under dark-colored sweaters, too...

 

A peach (or pink) dress shirt with French cuffs under a grey patterned three-piece with a French blue grenadine tie is an ensemble to make the ladies' swoon . . . except for my wife who is so used to it that it makes no impression whatsoever. *sigh . . . *

Where would I purchase a pair of pink pants? a woman's store?

 

Try Brooks Brothers. That way, you can decide for yourself which section to shop in.

Until about a year ago I would not under any circumstances wear pink. That changed once I started buying more colorful shirts and realized how good a pink OCBD could look with a navy blazer. I now have two RL OCBDs and two ties in shades of pink, including what is probably my favorite tie:



BB seersucker. Can't wait to start wearing this in the spring

Be on the lookout for a guy around your way that sells them out of the back of his car. Ask around...

 

I'll wear a pink ocbd once in a while, and had pink oxford cloth pants for several years...they were fun with a navy sport coat at summer events, but not something that got worn more than twice or three times a year. I got too porky and the pink pants never got replaced.
