Men wearing Pink
stevec - 17/3/07 at 08:15 PM

Is it OK for men to wear pink shirts/ sweaters etc.
SWMBO thinks its OK but I cant get my head around it somehow.


David Jenkins - 17/3/07 at 08:17 PM

You forgot one option for your poll - "questionable".


tri - 17/3/07 at 08:19 PM

look at the cars most of them drive (by that i mean most guys in pink i see are neds) says it all really

no affence if you do not my thing


scottc - 17/3/07 at 08:19 PM

Salmon pink - yes

Hot pink - err not so sure


Keith Weiland - 17/3/07 at 08:20 PM

I voted yes but only because my wife frequently washes my whites with something red so I have no choice.


craig1410 - 17/3/07 at 08:33 PM

I don't have anything pink myself but I wouldn't have a problem as long as it wasn't bright "girly pink". I understand that women love men wearing pink because it shows that they are comfortable with who they are and don't care if anyone thinks they are gay. Go figure!

Cheers,
Craig.

If you wear a pink shirt you might as well hold a "coming out" party with special guests Elton John, Michael Barrymore and George Michael.

Only men who are "Good with colours" wear anything Pink, and that goes for cars too.

If you drive a pink micra cc you're camper than a row of tents.

Pink tents

Pink tents with gay men in them

Pink tents with gay men in them sniffing poppers.

Everyone will KNOW that you bowl from the pavillion end.

Don't do it.

Cheers

Chris

I have a pink shirt that I wear for work sometimes. It goes very well with one of my suits. (No not the cerise one )

It is no different to any other colour shirt for me. Lots of guys wear pink ties or ties with pink in them.

I would be more worried what someone was trying to hide who wouldn't wear pink.


JoelP - 17/3/07 at 08:58 PM

im wearing a pink shirt right now! Rock and roll.

That said, i put on a vest the other day, looking in the mirror and realised it was a very bad purchase - as gay as a vest could be! So i swapped for the pink one, which swmbo loves (fact i quite like it too!) and felt normal again!


nige - 17/3/07 at 09:08 PM

ive got nothing to hide
me wearing pink !
i dont think so............................

If you are worried about 'street cred', then you haven't got any!

What makes you think I was on about street cred?


jlparsons - 17/3/07 at 09:30 PM

One of my good mates wears pink a fair bit and seems to get away with it, though he is in his own words a screaming homosexual and i think this does help.


stevec - 17/3/07 at 09:30 PM

Well its seems that the majority thinks its OK.
So me and Crisg and a few others had better rethink our wardrobes,

Thanks for the views.
Steve.

I was just being polite.


locogeoff - 17/3/07 at 10:14 PM

I've also got a pink shirt for work, salmon pink, goes o.k. with a red tie and chinos

How gay was that statement then

Though with thought, I wouldn't wear it under any other conditions...


skydivepaul - 17/3/07 at 10:59 PM

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

Pink shirts are fine. I wear one occasionally for for work. Only those that are worried about being ousted from the closet need worry.

I do work with a lot of women though so that may affect my colour choices, maybe if I worked in an all male office I may think differently but frankly my only concern is has it been washed and ironed.

I would be more concerned about someone who only wore blue as they would obviously be hiding something.


MikeRJ - 18/3/07 at 12:09 AM

I wear whatever I can find in the wardrobe these days including a couple of pink shirts, don't give a flying f...ig what anyone thinks. Clothes to me are functional items to keep warm and prevent people vomiting/laughing when they see me. I laugh in the face of fashion, the idea of paying stupid money for designer clothes is just silly.

So either I'm a gay slob or perhaps more comfortable with my own sexuality that I don't worry about being mistaken as gay. Or just a slob with no clothes sense....yeah, that'll be it.

Dazza - 18/3/07 at 09:59 PM

i always said no, but the woman bought me a pink shirt and a ties with pink bits on it, actually looks ok, both times i wore it at work i got comments saying it looked good..... i am still not 100% convinced, but not as anti as i was......


DIY Si - 18/3/07 at 11:06 PM

Whilst I've never had anything pink to wear in the first place, I would say it's ok, but this is coming from a man whose only clean clothes for this weekend where am old T shirt and my cut off camo combat trousers! Fashion has never and will never be a strong point for me, or even an issue. New trousers, or anew engine?! Only ever the one answer to that!


Peteff - 19/3/07 at 12:19 AM

I was never confused.


Mr Whippy - 19/3/07 at 12:56 AM

I wonder after reading the comments above...why are most of you voting yes????

Hopefully we will not be seeing many pink 7's


Gergely - 19/3/07 at 03:52 PM

I am thinking of a pink Locost... seriously...well, magenta actually... the real fluo type...

But then again, I have pink shirts and a tie as well...

Gergely


Mr Whippy - 19/3/07 at 04:06 PM

will it have pink latex seats with knobbly bits on them and a furry steering wheel??

Oh yeah! look! I have a dog like yours though mines a big softy who hates the cold


DIY Si - 19/3/07 at 04:26 PM

Having just re-read my reply, I DID used to/probably still have a pink and black rugby shirt. Oh the joys of having pink as your house colour at school. Does force you to not worry though, as you have to try quite hard to not feel a right plonker in it.


chrisg - 19/3/07 at 10:26 PM



**cough**


scutter - 19/3/07 at 10:33 PM

That's sorted that, I'm not bringing the pink tent to Stoneleigh.

My buggy under construction......


Jasper - 20/3/07 at 06:01 PM

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Unless it's a formal shirt with a suit - then it's ok

NOTHING casual though - and that includes polo shirts....


bob - 20/3/07 at 07:12 PM

Depends which end of the country you live

That picture chrisg put up reminds me of a pair of locosters

Pink just aint practical, shows all the muck when you are in the garage. Shall stick to black jeans and band t-shirts i think

Certainly cant pull off a pink shirt, thats for sure!

David


Gergely - 23/3/07 at 11:03 AM

Wow flak, new avater then?
Same lady? Kept the theme I see!


ned - 23/3/07 at 11:32 AM
