I'm a straight man and I really like the color pink, but I find that I only can wear pink/lavender in the context of formal wear. A pink polo or t-shirt? No way

I'm a straight man and I really like the color pink, but I find that I only can wear pink/lavender in the context of formal wear. A pink polo or t-shirt? No way. Pink accents in a necktie or a lavender dress shirt under charcoal pinstripe suit? No problem.
- jules 16y agoWhat is the reason that you cannot wear a pink polo or t-shirt?
- MartinCron 16y agoI suspect it's that I don't want to come across as too effeminate-looking, even though I don't have a problem with a lot of other things that aren't typically masculine (I do flower arranging, I cook, I ride a Vespa). My inability to wear pink is probably the last scrap of masculine insecurity. Also, it's totally wrong for my complexion.
- corin_ 16y agoIf you have any masculine insecurity at all, you should probably avoid saying things like "it's totally wrong for my complexion" ;)
