Real Men Wear Pink, And So Do I
Get up and go look in your closet. How many white shirts do you see?
That many, huh?
Now take a step back and look at how much color there is in between the white shirts.
Not much, huh?
Gentlemen, we as men have to learn that color is NOT a bad thing and to help prove my point I brought in a little custom made visual aid from Indochino. It’s not white, blue, or black. It’s PINK. Yes, PINK. Are you scared yet? Do you feel your masculinity is in question because you are strangely drawn to it? Please dissuade all these emotions and embrace the pink.
Let me set a few ground rules for you on this one, though, because the purchase can go HORRIBLY wrong if you don’t get the right fit and color.
DO NOT buy a giant over sized dark pink tent made out of rayon or silk. Stick with a trim, fitted, pale pink understated number like the one below from Indochino:
You want to follow the ground rules that Jude Law set out for us in Alfie and pair this with a beautiful Navy suit. Preferably the shirt will have French Cuffs and you can add some nice, simple cufflinks to the ensemble.
The best, and most satisfying, benefit to the pink shirt has to be that when you are at that after work cocktail hour and you take off your suit jacket almost every female will make note about how great your pink shirt looks in a room filled with the standard white, baggy button up.
This, in itself, proves that real men wear pink.
