Men of AH do you own any pink clothes?

Doc · 2010-09-16 02:50:50

I myself don’t I’ve tried on a couple of pink t-shirts in shops but really don’t think I can pull off the colour at all. It just seams to look wrong on me. Any of you guys own anything pink? I have read that at a young age both boys and girls often will pick pink as their favorite colour until the gender associations of…

I have two.

One is a tailored fit, very light, solid pink (more peach really but whatever), double cuff shirt.

The other is a white striped, pink Ted Baker shirt with a barrel cuff.

Really like them both as they fit well and are good quality. Easier to pull off pink if you're tanned I reckon.

Two I think. A dressy shirt and polo shirt.

Generally,the people that hate on pink clothes for men are the same ones who can't dress themselves properly.

In denial

Certain shades of pink, depending on what it's co ordinated with can look great on a man.

Certain blues and yellows can be equally as questionable a choice on certain men. It's a confidence thing imo.

It's never the shirt, but the man underneath it

I have to wear a suit at work, so yes, I do have a couple of pink shirts. Pink shirts, with a nice tie, can look good with a dark suit.

same as these

My husband wears pink shirts/polo shirts, doesn't bother him , doesn't bother me.

He even rode my girls bike the other day (mines nicer than his:D) its not pink in gold/green but has felmale crossbars.

I dont think he would drive a pink car though....

my boys have some clothes with a touch of pink or purple in them, one of the boys likes blue the other boy loves green, each to their own.

Pink is a not a good colour for men. I am reminded of when Homer Simpson wore a pink shirt to work, it resulted in Michael Jackson hanging around with his kids. Beware!

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE! No I've never, nor will I ever wear pink. Although it might go with my hoodie and combat theme I have going on. Being a metaller and all.

The Color Psychology of Pink

Pink is essentially a light red and is usually associated with love and romance.

Pink is thought to have a calming effect. One shade known as "drunk-tank pink" is sometimes used in prisons to calm inmates. Sports teams sometimes paint the opposing teams locker room pink to keep the players passive and less energetic.

While pink's calming effect has been demonstrated, researchers of color psychology have found that this effect only occurs during the initial exposure to the color. When used in prisons, inmates often become even more agitated once they become accustomed to the color.

Yes, anybody who has a genuine issue with that has problems.

I own two pink shirts, a pink polo shirt, pink boxers and a couple of pink ties.

I have 2 pink shirts, and a pink t-shirt.

The shirts teamed with a dark suit, and the pink and brown tie is very slick.

Who calls it champagne? Champagne is more of a light honey gold color. Not only are they in denial, they're colourblind!

Was it not years ago that pink was known as a masculine colour?

Actually, that's true, the last time I wore something pink, I had to bring my FagStick(tm) to beat the homosexuals off with, as they kept jumping on me, trying to have sex with my anus.

Oh wait. It doesn't work like that.

What "signals" would you be giving? who would beat you up?

Nope. Not a thing. I rarely think pink looks good on women and even less on men.

one of my favourite shirts is pink, i wear pink and other traditional girly colours quite a bit actually cos they suit me. a few mates slagged me off the odd time, but then they realised how f'uckin juvenile, retarded, bigoted and ridiculous they sounded...so they stopped. bit like some of the fools people in here should tbh

I don't own anything pink. Not a fan of the colour and it doesn't suit me to wear it.

I own a couple of purple shirts that i quite like and occassionally wear into work when i need to look super awesome.
