Guys accessorizing with pink. Trend?
 

I know Kanye rocked the pink polos for a while, and every tool from high school to college started dressing the same way. I had no idea this creeped into the adult world.

I was in midtown Manhattan for some interviews yesterday, and noticed an astounding number of men in pink shirts and pink ties. I assume a lot of these guys are in the finance industry based on the geography. When did pink start becoming a "power" color, since I assume most of these guys would not have been caught dead in anything pink in the late 90s. Who started this trend?

It's like three years old man.

When did guys start accessorizing at all?

1700s when dudes wore wigs...or whenever the necktie switched from functional to fashion, early 20th century?

Jesus. I thought it might have been a spring thing. There was enough pink near the Trump building to rival Victoria's Secret.

Re: Guys accessorizing with pink. Trend?
 

Yeah. Gay trend.

Spring/summer brings it out obviously. I have a sweet pink striped tie on today. I used to have a really awesome pink tie, but it is in the hands of some chick who stole it from me.

Re: Guys accessorizing with pink. Trend?
 

I had a look through the Gant summer catologue the other day. I swear half the stuff in there is pink. There was a pink jacket for chrissakes.

a red tie says don't eff with me, I'm a man of means. I'll screw your brains out and leave right after.

a pink tie says: Hi, I'm kinda like those [censored] red tie wearers, but I'll cuddle after I screw you.

Clearly I'm not referring to pompous wig-wearing, gold-braid flaunting pansies in the 1700s. I'm referring to guys. Yeah, neckties are another pet peeve. Neckties should be outlawed. Also, there's a difference between buying something required by your employer and accessorizing.

I know ElD sports a pink armband when he is sarging, but he is a true PUA. I doubt many other could pull it off.

Re: Guys accessorizing with pink. Trend?
 

I wonder why the finance industry is so much more fashion conscious (both good and bad) than the science sectors.

All my previous work has been in labs, where people have not changed thier wardrobe since 1990. Style in my sector is $40 pants from Macy's with a short sleeve dress shirt and sneakers.

Re: Guys accessorizing with pink. Trend?
 

I have a pink shirt and a pink tie that I will wear during spring/summer. My wife likes the way it looks and if it helps me get some extra lovin' then I don't care what the rest of you think.

Sounds like pink shirts and ties would be an upgrade.

I'm not sure where it became manly to poo poo style and look boring.

If you can rock pink without looking like you're trying to make a statement on your sexuality, by all means, do it.

It is unnecesary, hence an accessory. You have a cellphone and a million other devices surrounding you that tell time. Also, please replace any belts (im hoping you own only one) with a twisty tie, and PM for the name of a great Velcro shoe dealer.

Best,
Matt

I work in the tech industry and am currently at work. I'm wearing:

A black sonics tshirt
blue jeans
vans
a timex atlantis 100 watch
a gonzaga hat

I <3 the west coast and the tech industry. Obviously I could dress better, the great thing though is that on a day to day basis i don't have to if i don't feel like it that day.

Please don't wear a sports hat and a sports themed shirt at the same time, it makes us fashion conscious NYers cry.

Re: Guys accessorizing with pink. Trend?
 

I wore a pink striped shirt last night. I am wearing a powder blue sports jacket right now. Light colors don't make you gay guys...

Clearly not. They just make you look gay. There seems to be a trend these days to look as gay as possible to prove that you're not. I don't like it.

Times change. I'm more a traditional type of no earring, no bracelet or necklace, no man-purse guy myself. I don't put a scrunchy in my hair, a diamond in my tooth, or wear a lot of rings. I don't spend so much time on my hair that I worry someone might touch it and push it out of place, or grow facial hair that requires waxing or elaborate maintenance. I don't have a Prince Albert or incorporate jewelry into my actual body structure in any way.

That kind of love for ornamentation is chick stuff. Manly is easy and uncomplicated.

Re: Guys accessorizing with pink. Trend?
 

Yuppies have been wearing pink forever. I'm goes back at least a couple decades, and the yuppie experts could tell you if it goes back much further than that.

I'm not sure pink can be worn without it making a statement of one sort or another. Pink is the new black. But nowhere near as good.
