Pink shirts...

[The Wingnut]

...I swore up and down (especially with the recent trendiness) I wouldn't wear pink, but...well, I've got a riley collar shirt with french cuffs in pink left over from a '20s picnic which I bought to match my date's dress. That was nearly two years ago. It's sat in the closet ever since.

I'm attending a cousin's wedding tomorrow, wearing my tan suit. I've got a new(old) tie, tie clip, collar bar and cufflinks that I want to wear. I have a tan shirt to match the suit...

...and I've got the pink shirt that ties in perfectly with the pink & red tie, clip, bar, links and suit.

I suppose once every two years ain't bad. I did my usual pre-event 'dry run' last night, and it looks sharp.

Pictures coming, if I can get them.

...trendiness and insecurity be d@mned.

I look forward to the pics. Hope you can pull off the look.

In the movie Grease, John Travolta wore a pink shirt with a black sports jacket.
I have to say that shirt was a bit "too pink"! He also wore pink socks. Yikes!!


I own a pink dress shirt. But it's much paler, almost white!!

I've worn "A White Sport Coat & A Pink Carnation"!!

A white sport coat and a pink carnation
I'm all dressed up for the dance.
A white sport coat and a pink carnation,
I'm all alone in romance.

*shudder*

...I've never had the stomach for kitch on the level of Grease. I make it 15 minutes in and I have to shut it off.

I'll try to get a few shots before I leave tomorrow.

I say we guys leave the pink for the girls - heck we got so much already!

Thanks y'all...now I've got that Aerosmith song "Pink" going through my head!
I prefer a nice pastel pink shirt with off-white pants and a navy blazer (or charcaol gray pants and a very dark green sport jacket). What can I say? When you live in Florida, cool colors like pink are the norm!

Alfie's favorite shirt was pink. Then his girlfriend decided to paint in his favorite shirt. Women!

 

[Tomasso]

I'm in the Pink, always have been!

Are they IN again? Who knew! I don't pay much attention to fashion trends. I've been wearing pink shirts for as long as I can remember. I have at least a dozen in various fabrics, both solids and patterns. I have many more white and blue shirts but pink would be a solid third, with lavender becoming a big favorite in the last few years.

I am always drawn to men in pink. To me it signifies a sense of confidence in themself and their style as many men feel uncomfortable pulling it off.

I can't wait to see the pics!

It takes a REAL MAN to wear pink. Go for it !!

I own one, but in retrospect wish I had gotten a pale pink. Picture doesn't really capture the sheen or brightness.

John Wayne wore pink....

Yeah, a local talk-show guy owns a "salmon"-colored H-D and a bunch of listeners used to always give him flak about the "pink Harley".lol

A friend of mine bought a salmon (pink ) Harley-Davidson motorcycle (with a sidecar:eusa_doh: ) but sold it within a year because he tired of constantly having to explain to people the difference between salmon and pink. lol

Kibosh on the pink shirt...and the suit, hat, tie, and everything else. My family wants me to show up in uniform.

Ugh. Instead of lightweight gabardine, 55 / 45 poly / wool. Sure hope it's overcast.

 

[Jovan]

... in uniform for a wedding? I'm sure it's not necessary unless the groom is in uniform too. Perhaps you should just explain to them you'd be more comfortable in your suit.

 

[The Wingnut]

That's what I said...no dice, everyone wants to see the uniform.

Oh, well.

Michael Corleone attended the wedding in uniform in the first Godfather movie if I remember correctly. Very cool in my book.
