It's understandable. After all, it is tax season.

I think the look you describe is very attractive!

Not everyone is in the military, but I agree, men do look dashing in their dress uniforms. One of my favorite pictures of my Dad is in his US Marines Dress uniform.

And he was a great fan of pink shirts and sweaters,
My aunt married her husband right after the war, he was an Annapolis grad, they married at the chapel there.

In their wedding photos he is in his Navy dress whites, he looks like a movie star.

The bride was beautiful and so was the groom!

Some men look great in pink, others not so much. Both my husbands were darker skinned and looked absolutely great in pink, and in olive green, or mustard yellow, all hard colors to carry off with a pale skin tone.

And what does that have to do with pink shirts?

I'm indifferent I suppose. Not sure I have ever seen a man wear pink.

No, you just misinterpreted me in the first place.
I'm not a liar. I say what I mean. If I said I thought you would just laugh too (as in laugh WITH me), that is exactly what I meant. It's not that big of a deal, Sheena. It was lighthearted. Just see it the way it was intended.

I don't like pink on men either... or lavender... personal preference.

My fave color was pink until that ghastly Barbi movie came out... now if I wear it, I feel I'd be affiliated with that flick.

Thanks H'wood for ruining my wardrobe.

Only current wardrobe inventory in pink shade is a salmon striped shirt. it looks good by itself or with light gray sport coat. Looks same shade as sweater in Sheena's link. Got compliment from female coworker when I wore it on valentine's day.


When I had a pink shirt, I used to wear it with a fuchsia/gray paisley tie and light gray suit - that was in 90s. I have skin that tans well and Ruby Pearl made me think of it, as I wore it to a friends wedding when he was at Fort Bragg.

My husband looks fantastic in pink (the Brooks Brothers shade). In the 80s he had a vintage pink sport coat that he wore over an Aloha shirt, kind of a "Miami Vice" look - it was awesome. He is tall and when younger strongly resembled Tom Selleck (and got told so constantly!). He also owned several pink dress shirts for work. Like any color, it depends on the guy and if it suits his coloring and personality.
