Can Men Wear Pink?

Pink has always been associated with girls or girly stuff. During the 1800, gender representation through colors became popular. Pink is for girls; and blue is for boys. This philosophy remained popular until 1950's. Some clothing companies tried to manufacture pink dress shirts for men in the 1900's. Their items did not sell. Moreover, their items simply became a laughing stock among men. Pink clothes for men got truly accepted in the 1980's and 1990's. And up to this  day fashion experts are looking for ways by which men can wear pink in style.

Choose the right shade of pink. The good thing about pink is that it doesn't choose skin tone. You can look good in pink whether you're dark-skinned or light-skinned. Light pink tops are perfect for dark-skinned men who want to look a shade lighter. On the other hand, dark pink tops make light-skinned men glow.

Try pink accessories. This is good especially when you're not yet fully ready to put on solid pink tops. Try a pink necktie or pocket square to match your suit.

Choose pink dress shirts and polo shirts over pink sweaters and t-shirts. You can never go wrong with a pink dress shirt or polo shirt whether you need it for a casual or a formal event. If you wish to wear a pink t-shirt, wear it with khaki pants and under a blue coat.
