A fun thread, so no judgement if you like to wear pink things (such as I do) or if you don't. Frequent mentions of "metrosexual" are encouraged.

Who else here is a straight man who likes to wear pink? I have two pink polos and two pink T shirts. I usually get one pink shirt day in at work each week during the summer. I'm also a fan of purple and have a purple polo and T shirt.

I remember as a child I would find it funny that my father had a pink polo that he would wear every now and then, as pink was a "girls" color. (I was 8, they all had cooties, which wore off during puberty :P) Now, I like my bright colors.

Feelings and thoughts?

PS: Also, anyone can chime in lol.

It's fine. Very common with dress shirts. Not neon pink mind you lol.

Works well is your have a darker complexion.

Any adult man shouldn't have any problem wearing pink clothes. I have a couple of pink T-shirts myself.

Soft pink is a great color for dress shirts and goes well with black and dark grey dress pants

Never worn pink in my life, and hate the colour, and this is most likely due to societal/parental conditioning all my life.

Vegeta did look damn cool in a pink shirt though. I might give it a shot one day.

I don't really have a preference for pink clothes, but I own two pink T-shirts and have no issue with wearing them...

In the area i grew up in, pretty much only rich, obnoxious brats used pink polos and shirts, so to me it was synonim with douchebag :/

Just to be clear, i know this was a localized thing OP, not talking about you or anyone else. I personally don't care about pink clothing myself as i prefer more discrete clothing, but i have nothing against it.

I wear pink sometimes. People at the bar may occasionally give me shit, but me slightly jabbing at their homophobia just elevates me in the eyes of everyone else there. Most of the time I'll wear pink shorts or a pink button down.

Pink chino shorts, jeans, t shirts, work shirts, and most recently a cable sweater.

Works with jeans, suits, sneakers.

Why deny yourself.

Wearing red and pink I view as similar in the sense that they can be hard to pull off well, but if you can pull it off you'll be dazzling.

I have a pink polo but I don't like wearing it. I like dark colors that make me look mysterious and cool.

I'm gay but I just don't look good in pastels or flesh tones. With colours it's basically jewel tones or bust.

I don't have any pink or purple shirts, but I don't think anything about the sexuality of guys that do.

It's just a color, a very pastel like color but nothing else. If you associate it with sexual gender or tastes, then you already lost me.

It's 2018 bruv.

Pink shirt that's a Pokémon x Mean Girls reference.
Pink button up.
Pink phone case.

Worst thing anyone has said to me about it was "your phone case is pink".

Pink isn't really my color, but I love brighter colors in general, specifically yellow. I also love purple, which I guess for some reason is targeted towards girls

I have a pink hoodie I wear sometimes when it is colder.

I have lots of other shirts and socks with pink on/in them but nothing solid pink.

It's a fine colour, but I'd rather me some purple.

Nah there is only one color for me: Black.

I got like 3 white shirts, that's about as "colorful" as it gets.

I wear my pink shorts all the time and have got many compliments. I have a polo that I occasionally wear, too.

Not together, of course!
