Is It Ok For a Guy To Wear a Pink Shirt?

Do you notice that many guys are now wearing pink colored shirts out in public? If you do, then you probably feel a bit uneasy about them. Pink has such a stigma of femininity that some people feel that it's almost a crime against masculinity for a guy to wear a pink shirt.

It will probably never be entirely acceptable for a businessman to wear a pastel pink shirt with his suit. It is strange that blue has never been considered a masculine color. Women are not stared at when they wear blue because it is a completely acceptable color for women's clothing.

Many guys wore fluorescent pink shirts back in the eighties when fluorescent colors were big. These shirts were surf tees or tank tops with gym logos across the front, but they never looked feminine. The color pink has disappeared from men's clothing now that fluorescent is out, and pastels are in. A pink shirt with the Red Sox logo across the front in gray is one of my favorite items of clothing. However, I would wear a blue shirt or a red shirt just as easily as I would a pink shirt when it comes to athletic clothing. It is really hard to imagine a guy purchasing a pink shirt, even if it has the logo of his favorite sports team across the front.

Colors that are similar to pink like maroon and purple have not fallen under the same stigma as the color pink. There are a lot of purple shirts made for men and people don't glance twice at a man who is wearing a purple shirt.

Men can find it hard to wear something that has been labeled as being feminine. For instance, not a lot of men are walking around wearing lace trim on their clothes or with flowers embroidered into the material. Maybe pink will always be for the girls. Anyway, it's fine with me because I like the color pink. I also don't think that I would enjoy seeing my husband wearing my pretty pink Red Sox shirt while strutting around the house.
