“Back when they thought pink polos would hurt the Roc…” -Kanye West

Your typical wardrobe is full of blue, brown, black, white and grey. It’s ok to play it safe but try infusing a variety of colors into your wardrobe and you’ll be glad you did it. The usually feminine color pink, is something most men feel like they can’t pull off. From amongst the most common reasons men shy away from the color is fearing judgment from peers. The fact is, pink is not something that you should be afraid of. Pink is finding its way into most menswear – from cardigans, dress shirts, ties and other accessories, pink is definitely becoming the new essential color. K.R.T.

“A study showed that Pink has a subduing effect on those suffering emotional distress”

“women love pink and are more likely to give you a second glance”

“Arguably the basis is that someone who’s self-evidently “masculine” doesn’t need to demonstrate his masculinity in the stereotypical ways”

“Pink is the new Black”

  5. You look great, Curran! My bf sticks with basics – usually just grey, blue, black, and white. SO boring! But you pull it off well!

      If you want him to take risk with his clothing then just ease it into his wardrobe. It’s a start. Thanks
