Men...Do You Have Any Problems Wearing The Color Pink?
I have two pink ties that I wear to work, one is a solid pink, and the other is pink, with little blue squares on it. I wear them both with blue shirts.

I think they're rather lovely.

But a lot of men aren't brave enough to wear something pink.

Are YOU brave enough?

Do you own any pink articles of clothing?

Hmmmmmm?

No, don't own any pink clothing--just don't like the color.

3. I wore a pink Miami Vice suit everywhere for most of 1985
and in the heart of Appalachia no less! Lots o'looks back then...just ran off some of my Hypocrites Suck! tees the other day, did several in pink plastisol, and a few were white plastisol on pink tees.

4. Wore it more in the 80s
Back during the pastel rage!

Today I have one pink dress shirt and one tie with a little pink in it. But since I work at a business casual place now, I have little reason to wear them.

7. I used to have a pink shirt, and I wore it often.
Oddly enough, it was a woman who told me it looked good on me. That got me to buy it. I haven't replaced it though. This is the season of pink. Pink men's clothes are everywhere this spring.

Edited on Thu Apr-01-04 12:30 PM by camero
I took a girl to the prom years ago and wore a pink tie and cumberbund. Probably the last time too. :D

I still have the pic.

11. I'm wearing a pink dress shirt right now
Of course, it wasn't intentionally pink. I bought a light red shirt a few months ago, and the first time I went to wash it I accidentally dropped it into the washing machine after my wife had added bleach. It faded into a nice & even pale pink.

It sat on my hanger unworn for about a month until one morning, out of clean laundry, I put it on. Turns out I look pretty good in pink, and I'll probably buy another when this one wears out :)

14. Back when I was into bodybuilding, I used to wear a pink
dress shirt to work. The sleeves were kinda tight, and when I rolled them up, the veins in my biceps would pop out. Okay, okay, it was a real vanity kick, but I got some nice attention from the ladies. I don't have the shirt anymore. Or the biceps (sob!). ;(

17. Well, the promo pics for "A Few Good Men" will be online soon,
and you can guage your disappointment for yourself. I have become, in the words of Man in Black J (Will Smith) "soggy around the midsection." And my dashing, poetic moustache and goatee are gone. Oh well.



Now, if I could only find that pink shirt......... ;-)

21. Well, if you like Navy khakis, Navy whites or Navy blues, you'll be
happy. I have to wear all three uniforms during the play. In the first act, I've got about a minute and a half to change from my khakis to my whites.

"I don't like the whites."

"Nobody likes the whites, but we're going to Cuba in July. You got Dramamine?"

"Dramamine keeps you cool?"

"No, Dramamine keeps you from throwing up; you get sick when you fly."


OMG, I'm hijacking this thread. Bad, bad, BAD!

26. Mmm...love a man in uniform
And the Navy colors are so nice. My little brother looked just stunning in his whites - the girls were all over him.

And it's we...we're highjacking this thread. :)

27. Okay.
You're fun to hijack with. :-)

Hm. maybe I'll replace my white shirt with a pink one. Pink and Navy blue are a good combo, right?

28. Hee...
uhhh...no. No pink shirt with the big bell bottom navy pants. Unless of course the shirt has the big lapels from the 70s...then you have to unbutton it to the waist and wear lots of gold chains. :)

30. Objection. Your honor, defense counsel is wearing polyester and a lot
of bling-bling.

Counsellor, do you have a reason for your, uh, attire?

Groovy, judge-man. Wanna swing to some happ'nin' tunes and do some coke? No? Have a nice day and may the Force be with you. :smoke::thumbsup:

19. My husband is brave enough to wear almost anything.
He'll not only wear pink, he'll wear women's baseball caps, chains with feminine baubles hanging from them, and shirts and jackets that open the "wrong" way. He has a hat (that he wears) that says: BITCH - babe in total control of herself. He does not wear skirts, women's underwear, or anything with ruffles though. The clothing and things he puts on are not really overtly female. In other words, you don't notice, unless you look closely.

I'd say he is one guy who is extremely confident with who he is. If someone notices he's wearing something "not masculine", he'll laugh and thinks it's a great joke.

Did I say he has a really weird, wild sense of humor?

22. It's an ugly color.
Doesn't go with my hair or skin tone at all. Or even by itself. Frankly, I don't even like it on women. It seems to go with flowers, though, and that's the only use I have for it.

but I would wear it befor I'd sleep in a pink room.

25. I worry about men who wear pink...
my girls and I have a saying "if he's wearing pink he's not worth a stink"

Haha...I know...that's horrible, but the thought of a man wearing pink just scares me. i like my man tough and masculine with camoflauge or something...haha

31. I'm brave enough, it just doesn't look good on me and I don't like it
I used to have a pink shirt I really liked, but, well, it just didn't work for me.

But I see nothing wrong with men wearing pink. Nothing gay or effeminate about it.
