I don't like them, but not because they are sending any sort of message, just because I look like a refugee from a leper colony when I wear pink. :p

I see nothing wrong with it. The only reason I wouyld see anything wrong with it is because socoity has sterotyped the color pink as a feminine color and feminine men as homosexual. Pink is the same as any other color, why would you judge somone of the color of the their shirt?

I wear to church or a night out with the wife... Gray pinstripe (or black) single breast suit coat and slacks, pink shirt and black tie, belt and shoes. Mix the shirt color and tie color for different occasions. Blue for sober occasions, red for weddings and festive occasions, black for funerals etc., pink for looking good for the ladies.

My dad got a bunch pink shirts once because they were really cheap. One of them was a really hot pink. More than once I refused to go somewhere with him until he went and changed his shirt.

Some guys look ok in pink shirts, and as long as they can pull it off, I don't mind so much, but most guys look terrible. If in doubt, avoid pink. Real men wear purple.

That wasn't my goal, lol, honesty was. Not only do you look bad when you're overweight, but you're terribly unhealthy. So many problems are brought on by being fat...and it's becoming an epidemic. I'm real big on this issue, but i'm not going to hijack this topic, so I'll spare you all.

Hot pink is not good.

What is needed is a light pink, idealy, the color of brooks brothers pink oxford shirts.

In fact, the only pink shirt I could ever see myself wearing is a brooks oxford, and all my pink shirts are brooks oxfords.

I cant see myself wearing a purple shirt outdoors.

I wouldn't wear the color cause it's obnoxious...

Off topic:I love your style!

But a guy (or a girl) can wear any color he/she like, as long as it is comfortable for them. But still I know some places where you don't want to be to "alternative". Unless you are a Bruce Lee-skilled fighter...

I like purple. I have two purple shirts. One is a solid, deep purple, and the other is a white shirt with purple vertical stripes. Purple can work if you know how to use it.

I think it's fine. As long as their not pink-posers, the guys that were it just to be cool and fit in, their losers.

And if someone says it's wrong,than that's like saying woman shouldn't vote, it's sexist.

Well, I think they're a bit sensitive about being made fun of.

In Florida last month two of my drunken friends commented on a redneck-looking gentleman's pink shirt and he and his two pals came out to the parking lot talking shit. "Fuck all of y'all" I believe was the phrase he used. Then they did the most un-redneck thing I could imagine. While I was walking over towards their truck to discuss their rudeness they jumped in and hurried away.

I don't even think most girls should wear pink shirts, but some of them pull it off. I personally don't think that pink looks good on the vast majority of people, but that doesn't stop them from wearing it. It brings out the wrong skin undertones.

Guys should never where pink shirts. In fact, girls should never where pink shirts. Or anything else pink for that matter. Pink is the colour of EVIL.

Heh, seriously though, some guys look fine in pink. If someone feels like wearing pink, they can where pink. Though I'd still rather they wear not-pink. Damn pink...

at my school, some ignorant freshman who thinks he is mesmorizing/in control/worth imitating, declared today to be pink sweater day (we have uniforms;note-catholic school sucks)

a few things wrong with this:

1. who do you think you are
2. who the hell owns a pink sweater
3. pink does not look good unless you are flaunting it in a nongay way


after his announcment yesterday, i declared today:

I have a pastel pink shirt, and it's actually one of my favorites. It's big, it's breathable, and the color looks nice on a sunny day.

I can pull off any shirt color and still get looks and strange behavior from guys --- which is funny, because I, myself, am a guy, and messing with their heads is really funny.

My boyfriend has a light pink polo shirt that I absolutely love, so I'm all for it. Hot pink, on the other hand--nobody looks good in hot pink. Or at least, a very select few.

The "Real Guys Wear Pink" shirts sort of make me smile, though. And I've seen the "Don't laugh, this is your girlfriend's shirt" one too.

I seem to get more gay admirers than straight ones as it is, I don't think I could wear a pink shirt and get away with it. I mean, I've got shirts with pink on them, but none where pink is even close to the majority colour.

Some blokes manage light pink things fine, though.

What the hell? How can anything be flavored pink?

Anyways, in my opinion, there are a select few men who look good in hot pink, and most guys can pull off wearing a pink shirt, but there are a few other colors that, unlike pink, must be outlawed:

Orange: It doesn't go with any other color, so it makes layering impossible, not even black with orange, because that just looks too Halloween. Although, wearing an orange shirt with a white blazer and/or tie might work if you have the guts/looks to pull it off (why does that color combo. remind me of Jane Fonda in Monster In-Law?)

Almond: There is no one, and I mean NO ONE, who looks good in almond: it washes out the skin of any white-or-fair-skinned boy, and looks ridiculous on anyone of African origin.

Sorry about being off-topic there, I don't mean to take up space, and I certainly don't want to change the subject of this thread, but I jsut wanted to say that.
