Pink is very enticing. Probably because it has a calming effect and is also the complimentary color to healthy skin tones. Men wearing pink are thought to be sensitive and yet exude confidence. Pink is the easiest color to coordinate with any color in the wardrobe. Pink is one color that can brighten up the dullest of grey coats and soften the brightest of the blacks and navy colors. The various shades of pink include magenta, fuchsia and salmon for men's clothing. .
Should Men Wear Pink?
Pink is indeed a delicate color and hence the obvious question "should men wear pink" arises. Dressing for men has always been a way of displaying masculinity. Pink, for long has been considered a feminine shade, but men love pink too. While men in pink may be a rare sight in western countries, it is one of the most common colors in Asian countries. The favorite color of the King of Thailand is pink and in the same country you may find many young men sporting garments like shirts, t-shirts, shorts and trousers in different shades of pink. Contrary to popular belief, men in pink are not ogled at as queer or looked down upon as gay. In fact men wearing pink outfits get nearly the same attention as they would have done with other colors.
While style icons, pop singers and even football and Tennis players have experimented with the pink color, the common man is taking time to get accustomed to this fashion change. Nike has even designed a pink blue and yellow kit for the Spanish Tennis star Rafael Nadal with bright pink shade shown prominently on his shoes.
