Do Real Men Wear Pink?

Pink can be elegant, subtle and fashionable. It can also be peculiar and brassy. For example, the pastel pinks can look really good in a semi-formal setting or when you just want to look smart-casual. You have to be extremely careful of the brighter pinks as they will look ‘shocking’ and tacky - they either remind one of the disco time of the 80s or the punk rock era of the 70s.

What Matches With Pink?

Pink is quite a straightforward colour to match, but you must be careful. Pink blends well with related colours such as salmon and brown. Pink also goes well with white, for example a pink tie on a white shirt. Avoid blues, greens and yellows. Pink goes well on people with brown or dark hair.

When can a man wear pink?

Whether at a meeting at work, buying the weekly groceries, drinking with buddies in a bar, of lounging about on your day off, pink is completely acceptable as a colour on men these days.
