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?

Bad post Jake.

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.

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.

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.

Sushijerk:

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.

*sigh*

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.
