Guys accessorizing with pink. Trend?

[sushijerk]

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?

When did guys start accessorizing at all?

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

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 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.

This guy would kick your ass from the crypt. Stop trying to be all wannabe macho, and while you're at it take off your watch.

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.

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

Yeah. Gay trend.
